The dental implant is a kind of surgery that is done to replace your missing permanent teeth. Some people might get it just by hearing the name of the surgery but you need not worry as Teeth Implants Avon is an expert where the surgery is done by considering the comfort of the patient.
As it is a surgery, anesthesia is given to the patient to make him feel comfortable during the procedure. In general, it is given so that the patient cannot feel anything or no matter how vigorous the treatment is or how many dental implants are needed. However, the anesthesia can make you feel completely conscious or can numb the area where surgery is required. It depends totally on-
- Preference of dentist or oral surgeon
- Person’s comfort level
Types of anesthesia-
Local for minor procedure
This anesthesia is used when the patient needs one or two dental implants. It will help you feel comfortable during the procedure. During the procedure, the patient remains awake but the part where treatment is done, is numbed so that the patient cannot feel anything or any kind of pain.
General for bone grafting
It is a very strong type of anesthesia. This anesthesia is preferred when bone graft surgery is needed in which bone tissue is harvested from elsewhere in your body and placed on your jaw to support your implant. Under this, the patient will not remember the procedure.
Conscious sedation for dental anxiety
Another form of sedition which is generally used at Dental Implants Avon is conscious sedation in which the patient is totally conscious about his surroundings and can answer the questions of doctors. It is combined with local anesthesia and frequently administered in pill form or using nitrous oxide gas. This sedation is useful for those who have a little nervousness about such procedures. It is more like a dream state for the patient.
Recovery after surgery
Sedation helps in not feeling the pain during the procedure but when the effect of these drugs reduces, the patient may feel a minor discomfort for at least a week. He may also feel pain in the cheeks, chin, or eyes. So, it is always suggested after surgery to-
- eat soft foods
- brush gently
- visit your dentist regularly
- take proper medication
- rinse your mouth with warm water twice
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling
Avon Dentist suggests that local anesthesia is a better option than general anesthesia. As it does not have any major side effects and is a safer option. So, you should always have a proper discussion with your dentist or surgeon before taking any sedation.
