How to reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding

Implants are not a procedure that ends with a simple process

Because it is a surgery that requires incision and suturing,

there is the burden of pain, swelling, and bleeding,

and you must go through a recovery period because of that.

If you have experienced other surgeries that require incision and suturing,

naturally, concerns about pain, swelling, and bleeding may be even greater.

To ease those worries,

I will introduce ways to reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding.

What is implant surgery?

The reason implants

can involve pain, swelling, and bleeding

can be understood by looking at the process.

• Consultation and treatment plan creation

• Tooth extraction

• First surgery

• Second surgery

• Placement of the upper prosthetic

• Follow-up care

Implant surgery goes through this process.

Of course, even during tooth extraction,

there is pain, swelling, and bleeding.

If you have had a wisdom tooth extracted, it may be easier to understand.

In the first implant surgery,

after making an incision at the surgical site,

the artificial tooth root, the fixture, is placed,

and the incised surgical site is sutured.

Since there is an incision and suturing,

there is no avoiding pain, swelling, and bleeding.

Here, in the second implant surgery as well,

after the surgical site is incised again,

the abutment is connected to the artificial tooth root,

so due to the incision,

pain, swelling, and bleeding are unavoidable.

Pain, swelling, and bleeding after implant surgery

are experienced through tooth extraction, first surgery, and second surgery.

How to reduce implant pain, swelling, and bleeding

• Same-day implants

Pain, swelling, and bleeding after implant surgery

can therefore be reduced by shortening the time and duration.

If One-step same-day implants at Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic are possible,

because the process from extraction to the second surgery is shortened to one day,

the pain, swelling, and bleeding experienced during extraction,

first surgery, and second surgery

are reduced to a shorter period.

Same-day implants are possible

if there is sufficient periodontal tissue

and the shape has been well maintained,

and when performed,

more hard and soft tissue around the extraction site is preserved,

which also helps with faster recovery.

• Navigation implants

Pain, swelling, and bleeding after implant surgery

are reduced as the time and duration are shortened,

so if One-step same-day implants are not possible,

Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic can perform navigation implants,

shortening the period from extraction to the second surgery

to about 2 to 3 months,

so the pain, swelling, and bleeding experienced during extraction,

first surgery, and second surgery

can be reduced to a shorter period.

Navigation implants

set the implant path in advance,

and create a guide so that there are no errors in depth, angle, or direction settings,

allowing the fixture, the artificial tooth root, to be placed without incision

and helping with faster recovery.

How to reduce implant pain, swelling, and bleeding

• Anesthesia

The most certain way to reduce pain after implant surgery

is anesthesia.

The anesthesia methods at Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic include

painless sleep anesthesia using conscious sedation,

PF-72, a pain-relief injection that lasts for 3 days,

and topical anesthesia, an ointment anesthetic that removes the pain of anesthetic injections,

which can effectively reduce pain from the incision.

In particular, sleep anesthesia

is a safe sleep anesthesia technique

in which you can breathe on your own

and have simple communication,

a light sleep state

from which you can wake up quickly.
