Has dentla implant treatment hit a nerve?

Q. I had five implants in my lower jaw in November 2009. I am 60 and was told that because of the bone atrophy of 38 years, my jaw was like that of a 90 year. During the surgery with implant “B” my left arm and left leg came flying up in the air which of course frightened the Surgeon as well as the patient . I had no contol over that motion as a nerve had been struck. That implant came loose and had to be replaced five weeks later.When the freezing needle was inserted the nerve again was hit causing the same reaction. Since then I have been having excruciating pain in my right shoulder blade,shoulder and arm.Sometimes in all three locations or it can be in either the arm or shoulder or shoulder blade.Is this something that will eventually clear up? Is the Implant on the nerve? Meds and hot baths and exercises as well as prayer help temporarily-but what is the big picture. A few minutes on the computer intesifies the pain and that is even with using my left hand.Even driving antagonizes it. Has anyone else experiened this, as I somehow don”t believe this is an isolated case.
A. I suggest that you discuss this with your surgeon and maybe ask for a referral to a neurologist. It sounds unusual and I have not had any experience of this in 15 yrs of experience in implant dentistry.

Why am I getting pain in jaw where implant was placed over a year ago?

Q. About two years ago now I had my dental implant fitted and eeverything has been great. Then just under under a week ago I was getting this pain in my gum in the area where the implants was implanted. My dentist recommended me to a specialist and he told me I had a sinus on the gum which is causing the trouble. I have been prescribed antibiotics and a clening method. Do you have any experience with this. Is this normal?
A. It can be caused by a number of reasons from a bone infection to a small piece of cement under the gum. It sounds like you will be seeing the right person who will be able to assess the problem and give you some options.

Can nervous patients have dental implants?

Q. I understand that dental implants require the use of drills and needles and all that horrible stuff. Do you think that in the near future some of the new laser or pain free technology that is coming into dentistry may make this procedure less scary?
A. Implants are placed under local anaesthetic, so the patient should not feel any pain. Some of my patients wish iv sedation which helps nervous patients.

Wrong to be so scared of dental implant procedure?

Q. I will be getting one of my teeth pulled and then getting a dental implant but am well and truly concerned about the pain this will involve and the recovery process. How long is it before you can actually start to eat proper food after the implant? Is soft food recommended for a week or so after the procedure?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the recovery process is not as bad as you think, the pain is not so severe and pain killers will be enough to ease any discomfort you will feel. my advice is please do not worry a few days after the procedure generally most patients are back to normal.
 hope this is helpful.

Do symptoms point to infection of dental implant?

Q. Two weeks ago I finally had my dental implant put in. I stuck to all the dentist’s instructions what with salt water to rinse mouth and medication, but still managed to get red sweling around the area. From what I have read up on it would seem that the implant has failed and I have made an appointment within the next few days. Does this kind of thing happen often? Is it likely to happen again if I get the implant done again? How long will it take for the gum to recover from this?
A. it may just be infected. you should seek an appointment with your dentist ASAP

How painful is dental implant treatment?

Q. What is the level of pain are we talking about when it comes to the dental implant procedure? Also, how long will it take for sedation to wear off?
A. The pain is dependable on the type of procedure. If it is a simple case , you should have no discomfort at all after the procedure. When sedation is carried out we tell our patients to stay at home for the rest of the day.

Denture feels uncomfortable after getting implants?

Q. 10 days ago I had two implants placed in my lower jaw at the front. I am a little concerned about my denture which has never been a good fit. At present I am not wearing it but when I do my top teeth will be pressing down quite hard on the denture on to the lower gum. Will this do any harm when I’m eating or do you think I should leave it out.
A. I can’t really tell what is the best thing to do you should really pop back to your dentist as he will be able to advise you accordingly

How painful is the implant procedure?

Q. What is the level of pain I can expect to feel during and after the procedure. It sounds like quite a painful procedure or is that just the way it comes across? What kind of recovery time is normal as well? Thanks!
A. If implants are done correctly and carried out under local anaesthetic, then there should be no discomfort. Recovery period is dependable on weather it is a simple case or requiring bone augmentation.
