I had my 4th implant put in and it has been the easiest recovery so far. It was my lower first molar on the left. I was very nervous as I had an implant done on the lower right first molar and it was very painful after the numbing wore off. It didn’t last long and after some Tramadol it was fine and almost pain free the next day.
I had a different surgeon this time, a periodontic surgeon and he is amazing! His injections are almost painless...just a pinch once. He kept asking if I was okay because I was apparently making facial expressions at the sounds and pressure. ? He said I was telling him I was okay but my face said otherwise.
He did something different with the gums and instead of cutting them open, he used something like a hole punch, so no stitches. I am home, numbness has worn off, and I have only Tylenol in my system. I just have some soreness and stiffness from the injections, but otherwise feel pretty good!
