Question and answer

Do full dental implants hurt

Full-arch implant treatment uses anaesthesia during surgery, but several surgical sites can cause swelling and soreness during healing.

The short answer

Full-arch treatment uses multiple titanium implants to support a fixed bridge or overdenture. Discomfort varies with extractions, grafting, implant sites, and tissue healing.
