Dental Health : Complications After a Tooth Implant

[Dental40]

Precautions are very necessary after any dental procedure, to have the best results. Otherwise it can have complications.

[BaronessAnneMarie]

In a perfect world, I would or should have perfect, gorgeous TEATH!!! I am so sick of dentists and their strange ways.

[BaronessAnneMarie]

I was fortunate in one aspect. I am a valedictorian graduate dental tech and made my own Max-full upper plate. Not all people can do this, I know, but I had not one bit of pain ever since I made them myself. I just wish I could make my own implant teeth. I do not work as a dental tech and no-one would allow me to make my own, except for someone who now lives in the Caribbean. Tough world out there! There really are not that many really "good" dentists. Trust me on that. What a shame.

[BaronessAnneMarie]

I had no pain, but the dentist was a butt-hole! I woke up halfway between and they were laughing and telling jokes. He yelled and they knocked me out but good after that and everything turned out awful from then on! I never went back. It was horrible! We paid in cash about $13,000.00 and that's the treatment I received. I still, after about seven or eight years, have these stupid posts! Crooked! and an unfinished root canal! If they treated me like this I can only imagine how they treat others!

[BaronessAnneMarie]

*I had posts put in several years ago which cost a small fortune! Horrible job! Replacing my posterior, Mandibular, first, second and third molars on each side. I am stuck with just "posts" now! Crooked! which bleed all the time! For years! Can you imagine?! I tried to go to another Dentist, but that was a horrible experience too. Had a root canal; Lower 21-L-1st Bicuspid, never finished, left with a gaping hole! Turns out the Dentist has a wife who threatens patients constantly. Very Weird!!

it looks like an ugly metal post

better you inform yourself about immediate zirconia implants placed without any additional interventions

[Zipito06]

@implant11 Yeah and you have a far higher rate of failure or long term use with mini's and immediate implants

[implant11]

@Zipito06 interesting to hear that you compare mini implants with truly root analog zirconia implants. Please inform yourselfe before you reveal that you are clueles mixing up everything.

[ScottNoren]

Most implant surgery is in fact not very painful afterwards...unfortunately there are many general dentists placing them instead of oral surgeons and periodontists who have lower failure rates. Oral surgeons and periodontists do residency programs after dental school...general dentists can accumulate CE but since the specialists also do this, you make the call.

Have 3 dental implants this year. 19 and 20 no pain at all. Tooth implanted at 30 in May, is causing severe pain all the way to the end of the mandible, mostly at night causing sleep deprivation. Is my bone cooked or is the ragged right mandible suferring from a broken extraction core?

[DJAnthonyWill]

@Sukagadoh  hahaha AGREED!!!

[DSLCUMMINS]

How do they compare to the mini implants?

[Mansel5]

I had a single tooth implant and felt no pain during the procedure or after. I was given a perscription for pain butnever had to use it.

2) Dental implants are Not rejected by the body.  This isn't an organ transplant where they body can reject a foreign object by activating an immune response. Such doesn't happen with dental implants which is why they are very safe. But there are failures when bone does not grow around the implant for any number of reasons.

[yousurfer2]

If the implant does not work, then can there be serious consequences i.e. to the jaw or sense of smell, or do you just wait for it to heal?

[speter33]

@yousurfer2 if the the implant does not osseointegrate, the implant is not held by bone, and can be easily removed. Healing then takes place. You should be monitored by a trained dentist.

[wandaanc]

@speter33 im in ohio and would like to know how much this procedure would be.

i am only 46 and have no dental insurance, single mom etc. (money is tight) recently had a panoramic xray and told to get a full upper denture. any hope?

[speter33]

1) The discomfort does not last 1-2 weeks as you say. I call all my patients the evening after the procedure. My patients are almost never in pain, few feel a little soarness, but that goes away the next day with most implant placements. Most patients have completely forgotten that anything was done earlier in the day.

[speter33]

Excuse me Michelle, I'm sure you're a great dental assistant. But please allow me correct you on a few statements that may be confusing to some. I'm a practicing dentist who places implants.

[romoinsunphx]

Michelle, thanks for the great information. If i had the internet when i was younger i would have not had major fears of going to the dentist if i would have watche youtube first. Thanks for all the info. I'll show my little kids.
