All-on-4® dental implants combine the stability of dental implants with a custom denture, replacing an entire arch of missing teeth and giving you the confidence you need to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly.
And if you’re worried about pain, the procedure is typically less painful than a tooth extraction, making it a fantastic way to restore your smile.
How Painful is an All-on-4 Implant Procedure?
When you choose the All-on-4 system to replace your upper or lower teeth, some discomfort is normal, but for most patients, it’s no more uncomfortable than having a tooth removed.
Here are some ways to manage discomfort and heal properly after your procedure:
- Apply ice packs to your face for 20 minutes at a time. This will numb the area and reduce swelling.
- Get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activity.
- Take over-the-counter pain medications to manage discomfort.
- Eat soft foods and avoid drinking from a straw for a few days.
