Dental implant fear

[MsAnxious]

Hi everyone

I am due for placement of dental abutment on the post, which was put in 4 months ago. The pain at that time was quite severe for 4 to 5 days. Will abutment placement be as painful and will there be a risk of nerve damage from abutment placement? I’m starting to get really anxious about this.

I've never done this, hopefully one of our younger dentists will chip in.

However, abutment placement should be completely pain free and there is no way you could get any nerve damage.

I have had several implants placed. The abutment does not hurt. It is a bit uncomfortable just in that you have tugging and a lot of stuff in your mouth, but no pain. I didn’t even get numbed for it. Once the implant is placed, the rest of the procedures were fairly simple and painless.
