Do some people have discomfort from dental implants,once they have healed and not rejected?

Dental implants after the initial phase of osseo intergation will not move unless quite a heavy force is exerted on them.No they dont have sensitivity. If done correctly should last for life. Most people don't have discomfort, only smokers are prone towards failure in the healing stages.\nGood Luck

Originally this controversy centered around women getting infections (secondary infections-not because the implant was contaminated) under the skin at the site of the implant. Rubbing against the underside of the skin and allowing opportunistic bacteria to settle, maybe.

Sure - very possible.  Teeth don't like trauma - the only part of the tooth that is alive is the nerve (or pulp).  WHen it dies, bacteria begin to build up inside the tooth.  Eventually it will destroy the apex (or tip of the root) and begin destroying the bone around the tooth.  When enough pressure builds up, a pimple like sore will show up on the gum tissue near the root of the tooth.  It will (hopefully) pop allowing the pressure to escape and the puss flow into the patient's mouth.  (yea - I know it's gross, but I couldn't think of a better way to say it). \nBad breath is usually caused by bacteria.  In this case, the bacteria inside and around the decaying pulp (nerve) of the damaged tooth is what smells.  To reso,ve the issue, the nerve must be removed.  In very late stages of this process, the tooth may be too far gone and unsavable.  Better to treat as soon as possible to avoid damaging the jaw bone, surrounding teeth, and possibly even a systematic (whole body) infection due to increased bacteria count.\n\nIf she does need to remove the tooth, there are great replacements available.  We can use a partial denture - which was more pobular in the past or with low income people.  Or you could use a bridge with is a fixed in place semi-permemant solution that looks like real teeth!\n\nHappy Thanksgiving - and happy eats!

I've been considering it alot too and I have family members that have gone through it. They all had like a week or so of down time where it seemed like it hurt pretty bad but all of them say it was worth it in the end. My grandma just had hers redone becuase she had the older implants that ended up leaking but the newest ones are only salt water so they won't hurt you nad it's ok to have kids and still nurse with them becuase now they can fit them behind the muscle which has no effect on nursing so do what you want. I say if your doing it for you then nothing else matters!

It is uncomfortable, but you can bear it.  It does hurt... when you get them, when you eat, and every time you get a new wire.  \nBesides pain, it is uncomfortable to wash your teeth, you get the sensation that your mouth is full with food.\nYou have to take care of your teeth, because of all the food that remains, and because it is difficult to floss, in order not to get cavities. \n\nI suggest you to get them if you really have to.  I had them for two years, but I really needed them because, besides a pair, my upper teeth never touched my lower.  I also had two teeth taken out, to have enough space to move the other..  some people loose 4 or more to get space.  That is important to consider.. remember teeth don't grow up again.

It depends on the person and the type teeth that are being removed. The more difficult the tooth extraction then, proportionally, the greater the probability of post-operative pain. Psychologically, it does feel just like much pushing and shoving during the procedure, but if it does hurt, tell the surgeon, as some inflamed and infected teeth take a little more to anaesthetise.\nAs for the person, different people have different reactions. I had my two lower impacted teeth removed under local. They needed to be sectioed, or cut, to be removed, but it didn't hurt. I was up and studying within two hours - pretty stupid really, as I should have milked the sympathy!\nTwo tips may be of benefit, though:\n(1) Take pain relief about 30 mins after procedure, while you are still numb - it makes the transition out of anaesthesia much smoother, and aids healing, as the less pain you're in the quicker you will heal\n(2) Try to relax best you can before, during and after the procedure - the more relaxed you are, the better anaesthesia works, and the better that works, the better the procedure for you, during and after the procedure.\nRemember, not all wisdom teeth are horror stories! Good luck!

I don't know about what after effects you are talking about, but when I had mine removed (one at a time because I am such a chicken), the bottom ones seem to give me the most trouble and the holes where the teeth were seemed really deep, and really they still do seem deep.  I have to be sure and brush back there and floss real good back there.  If you are talking about pain after you have them removed, I say managable pain for about a week, unless you get a dry socket, then oh my God you should get to the dentist right away because they can help with some sort of medicine they put on there.  Good luck.

Yes, unfortunately you don't pay once for implants - you pay twice. Once to put 'em in, and then thousands more when they go rock hard and painful 10-15 years later.  (They are a 'foreign body' inside you.  The doctors call it 'encapsulation').  \nNo reputable surgeon will tell you that implants of any kind last forever. I know from personal and very painful experience (i still got 'em because I can't afford to have them replaced!) that they don't. \nSo do think hard...(Will I have a spare £4-5000 in 10 years time????)\nGood luck honey.\nPS: I wouldn't want 'Eric' as MY doctor!

Heck yes, do you not remember when they took the implants off of the market several years ago?  Stay as nature intended you, it's not worth the risk.  You should see some of the articles that I have seen about women who get very sick after having that done.

Be aware not everyone is eligible for implants no matter how much money they have. Poor gums/infection are 2 reasons to defer implants. It is not so simple to say "just give me implants ". If your teeth are rotting out of your mouth, go to a dentist to evaluate you !\nRN in Ca.

Yes, unfortuately it is pretty normal for them to hurt. I survived 4 long years of braces and hated every minute of it but in the end, you will be very happy that your teeth are straight. If the pain is like EXCRUCIATING, then you should probably talk to your orthodontist about it but yes, there is usually some pain involved with braces.

Before the procedure...\n\nYES, Didn't like the needles...\nDuring, not a problem.  Didn't feel a thing.\nAfter, hit and miss.  It hurt alittle, but if I \nhit it, chewed on it.  Yeah....  it can be painful.

As a dentist, I have filled many teeth.  I have not had too many people complain about the pain.  Many dentist will use a numbing gel on the tissue prior to giving the injection.  This will help with some sensitivity with the injection.  However, most of the pain from the injection comes from injecting the liquid too quickly.  If the dentist takes his time with the injection there should be very little discomfort.  Once the tooth is numb, you will only be able to feel pressure NOT pain.

Well,simply if you have aches and there is some swallowing,that is a sign of not well done dental surgery or developing an infection,which is very dangerous. As to how you can know to whom you may trust..one simple tip from my own experience ask friends,relatives etc..Good luck!!

It's normal to feel pain after a temorary filling has been placed. The gum and nerves are still healing from drilling and all the work done to have that filling placed. You're just experiencing a temporary sensitivity to hot, cold, even in some cases...if you go outside and breath in through your mouth, air can irritate it also. If the pain persists, suggest to your dentist that he should place a transparent cap on the tooth instead of a temp filling.

i have had a dental implant on my #8. i also had my wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. it was painful. the pain is expected for every surgury. i think the swelling is normal. it will go down as time goes on. make sure you keep the implant very very very clean because if you dont have it clean the implant will not work properly and you will waste all that money you spent on it. the implant heals fully for about 6 months. see the doc if you have any problems.
