These posts are placed underneath the gumline, directly into the jawbone \u2013 and once fully healed, they function as tooth roots that can support a custom dental restoration. However, some patients are curious about receiving dental implants but aren\u2019t ready to commit to the process since they\u2019re not sure what having them will feel like. Continue reading below to learn more about dental implants and why you don\u2019t have anything to worry about, as they feel perfectly natural. <span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial\"> <\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><h2>Does Dental Implant Surgery Hurt?<\/h2> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">Dental implants require a surgical procedure to be placed; however, this process is incredibly straightforward and has a recovery period of just a few months. And if you\u2019re worried about pain, don\u2019t be \u2013 the very first step is numbing your mouth, so you won\u2019t feel any outright pain during the surgery. <\/p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">As you recover, it\u2019s expected to feel some discomfort, especially in the immediate days following the implant placement. But assuming you follow your recovery guidelines closely, this discomfort can be minimized, and you can ensure a smooth healing period and lasting success for your implants. <\/p> <h2>Will I Notice Dental Implants Once They\u2019ve Integrated?<\/h2> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">Since dental implants bond to your bone, they provide a remarkably stable foundation for the crowns, bridges, or whatever other type of restoration is affixed to them. These dental restorations will be custom-made for your smile using lifelike materials, and they\u2019ll feel and function just like your natural teeth.<\/p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">The dental implant posts themselves will permanently bond to your jaws, granting the same stability to your \u201cnew teeth\u201d that your tooth roots previously provided for your natural pearly whites. You\u2019ll be granted a significant portion of your original bite force, and you\u2019ll be able to speak, chew, and smile with ease for years to come.<\/p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">If problems arise with your implants, it\u2019s possible you\u2019ll feel them \u2013 such as if you begin to suffer from gum disease that compromises the tissue surrounding the implant posts. This might cause your implants to feel loose, and though implant failure is unlikely, it\u2019s still possible. If you also feel pain around your implant posts, that\u2019s a sign of an issue that requires professional intervention. <\/p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">The bottom line is that dental implants are designed to look, function, and feel as close to your original teeth as possible. You can comfortably commit to the process knowing that you\u2019re getting a top-of-the-line solution for your missing teeth that simply can\u2019t be beaten. <\/p> <h2>About the Author<\/h2> <p class=\"MsoNormal\">Dr. Cher Rich received her dental degree from the University of Texas at Houston Dental School and has proudly served families in the Houston area for several years.
