Occasionally, you may experience some complications. Here are a few of them and what you can do if you experience them.
Pain, Tingling, Or Numbness
Although you will have some pain at first, if you have continued discomfort, tingling, or numbness at the site or radiating into your mouth, it may be a sign that your nerves have been slightly damaged.
Tooth Infection
If your implant site is warm and throbs, or if you are experiencing discharge from the site, you may have an infection. An infection is not something you should ignore, as it can spread toxins into your body and cause serious problems.Sinus Issues
Occasionally an implant in your upper jaw can extend into your sinus cavity and cause problems there. These problems can include infection, issues breathing, and other matters.Pain In The Surrounding Tissue Or Teeth
Occasionally, during the implantation process, the surrounding teeth or tissue can be damaged. If you have pain in the areas around the implant, and if it lasts longer than a few days, this can be a sign that something was damaged.
