Pain is a subjective experience whose intensity depends on several factors, many of them highly personal. Nevertheless, many healthcare professionals, including dentists, find it helpful to rank pain on a scale or in relation to other procedures.
So, when considering a dental implant in Brisbane, your concern about how much it will hurt centres around the surgical procedure itself. The dentists at Edward St Dental will recommend dental implants in to replace one or more teeth.
The implant procedure should be relatively comfortable as our Brisbane dental team will thoroughly numb the implant site. But because the nature of any surgery is invasive, you may experience a degree of soreness in the days following implantation. Still, most of the time, you can manage that discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Do Dental Implants Hurt More Than Tooth Extractions?
From a relativistic point of view, patients often ask for pain comparisons between standard dental procedures. And since dental implants and tooth extractions both involve tooth replacement issues, many people compare the two.
However, research on this subject has revealed that in the vast majority of cases, a dental extraction is more painful than a dental implant, primarily due to the traumatic nature of emergency extractions and the tooth infections that usually accompany the need for removing your tooth.
