Read on for five reasons you may have implant pain or are experiencing some discomfort after your procedure. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Pain is Normal After Implant Surgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how many dental implants you need to have\nplaced, the amount of discomfort or pain that you feel after your procedure can\nvary. Even though dental implants boast an impressive 98 percent success rate,\nit\u2019s important to note any out-of-the-ordinary symptoms and feelings. Here are\nsome typical side-effects that patients experience after their procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Swelling of the face or the gums<\/li><li>Bruising of facial skin and gums<\/li><li>Pain (although this can typically be addressed\nwith over-the-counter pain medication)<\/li><li>Minor bleeding around the implant site<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the extent of your surgery, your dentist may\nprovide you with prescription medication to take and special aftercare\ninstructions. These are important to keep up with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Potential Causes of Implant Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though dental implant pain is an uncommon issue for\npatients to deal with, it\u2019s still a good idea to know what signs to look for so\nyou can quickly get them addressed and prevent any additional damage or implant\nfailure. Here\u2019s what can cause dental implant pain in Corpus Christi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A loose implant that hasn\u2019t properly integrated\nwith the jawbone.<\/li><li>A loose screw inside the dental implant.<\/li><li>Infection at the implant site.<\/li><li>Implant failure caused by your body rejecting\nthe post. <\/li><li>Nerve damage that occurred during surgery. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should You Visit Your Dentist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing out-of-the-ordinary symptoms, it\nnever hurts to contact your implant dentist in Corpus Christi to ask if it\u2019s\nnormal.
