Getting dental implants in Coral Springs is a generally painless procedure since you will be anesthetized the entire time. But when the effect of the anesthesia begins to wane, it’s normal to experience some degree of discomfort or pain.
The pain, however, is tolerable and should diminish within a few days. But if it lingers on and intensifies for weeks, then it’s an entirely different story, one that requires you to call your dentist or oral surgeon immediately.

It’s important to distinguish normal symptoms from those that require urgent attention. Some of the symptoms you are likely to experience following surgery are the following:
Pain following dental implant surgery will not stem from the implant itself. Remember, dental implants are not like your natural teeth. They do not have nerves making them insensitive to pain. So, if the pain is felt, it should stem from someplace else, like your gum tissues or the bone surrounding the implants. Dental implant infection is the most common cause of pain resulting from bacteria infiltrating the surrounding bone tissues.
Pain after surgery is only temporary and should last between three to five days. You may take over-the-counter pain medications to relieve the discomfort. However, if the pain is accompanied by jaw stiffness, bruising, and swelling lasting more than ten days, you need to take action and call your dentist.
