Dental implants are a popular choice for replacing missing teeth. However, like any other medical procedure, they have potential side effects. The most common side effect is discomfort and swelling at the implant site, which usually lasts a few days after the surgery. Patients may also experience bruising, bleeding, and tenderness in the gums. In rare cases, nerve damage may lead to tingling or numbness in the lips, chin, or tongue. There may also be an increased risk of infection if the implant site does not heal properly. Other possible side effects include implant failure, rejection, and bone loss around the implant. It is essential to discuss all potential risks and side effects with your dentist before opting for a dental implant.
