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

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.

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!

*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!!

@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. 

[Zipito06]

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

[implant11]

it looks like an ugly metal post

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

[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?
