While the dental implants procedure is typically safe, there is some degree of risk involved. These risks can include:
Infection or delayed healing at the implant site. Coming in for regular appointments and checkups allows the dentist to monitor the tissue healing.
Injury to the gum tissues or blood vessels around the surgery site. Our dentist will take scans to map out the location of the vessels and take precautions to avoid them.
Damage to the nerves because of which you may sense numbness, tingling, or pain. This discomfort may extend to the tongue, lips, chin, and original teeth. The pre-procedure scans will help our dentist avoid the nerves.
Possibility of an injury to the sinus cavities in case the implant rod sticks through the upper jaw. This is rare!
