If you have seen the movie <The Texas Chainsaw Massacre>,

you may have felt fear at the sound of a chainsaw starting up,

and many people feel a similar fear when they go to the dentist.

When you were young, if the dentist

seemed almost like the killer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,

then even as an adult, it is not easy to overcome that fear.

If you are facing implant surgery

and hope the dental treatment will be over in the blink of an eye,

look into painless implant anesthesia.

Reasons for getting an implant

An implant is one type of surgery

that involves cutting the gums

and directly fixing an artificial prosthesis to the jawbone.

It is well known that postoperative side effects such as

implant pain, swelling, and bleeding can be significant.

However, if you delay treatment because you are afraid of such implant pain, swelling, and bleeding,

or because of dental anxiety,

even though you need an implant,

the following problems can occur:

Tooth tipping

Loss of jawbone

Gum recession

Increased risk of inflammation

Jawbone destruction caused by inflammation

Dental osteomyelitis caused by inflammation

Other side effects from leaving an extracted tooth untreated

Causes of implant pain

What kind of pain occurs after implant surgery, exactly?

  • Removal of inflammation

If you are planning to have implant surgery while inflammation is present,

implant surgery is performed after the inflammation is removed,

so pain from the inflammation removal process

may occur.

  • Gum incision

An implant is considered a surgery that involves

incising the gums.

Since the gum tissue is cut with a medical scalpel,

the pain from this incision

naturally causes implant pain.

  • Screw placement

After the gums are incised,

space is secured for the implant screw to be placed.

Since a hole is made in the incised area,

this also naturally

causes implant pain.

Pain-reducing implants

  • Same-day implant

A recommended implant option that can reduce pain

is the same-day implant,

which is possible when the alveolar bone shape is well preserved

and inflammation is minimal.

Because the same-day implant allows implant placement,

bone grafting,

and attachment of a temporary prosthesis

to be completed in one day immediately after extraction,

it can reduce pain caused by incision and placement.

It can also shorten the treatment period,

which in turn shortens the recovery period.

Pain-reducing implants

  • Navigation implant

Another recommended implant option that can reduce pain

is the navigation implant,

which allows treatment without incision

using state-of-the-art equipment.

The navigation implant uses a guide

to predict the placement path in advance

and proceeds accurately,

so it can reduce pain caused by incision and placement.

This also can shorten the treatment period,

which in turn shortens the recovery period.

Painless implant anesthesia

  • Anesthetic implant

Same-day implants and

navigation implants

are ways to reduce pain after surgery,

but if you want treatment without pain during surgery,

an anesthetic implant can be recommended.

Painless implant anesthesia, anesthetic implant,

is carried out with

a safe, shallow stage-1 sedation sleep anesthesia,

a painless injection that continues for 3 days even after waking from anesthesia,

and a topical anesthetic that makes the injection itself not hurt.
