If the pain persists beyond what NSAIDS can help with, or if it lasts for more than a couple days; or extreme swelling, purulence, or fracture of the remaining tooth, its advisable to contact your provider for a reevaluation. Hope it helps! Dr P READ MORE

  • Does it hurt getting a crown on an implant?

    A normal implant crown should NOT hurt. It should feel like a natural tooth. That being said, sometimes getting a tooth removed in preparation for an implant can hurt and your surgeon might decide to give you pain relievers. If your implant is hurting after the healing process is completed, you NEED to visit a dentist office IMMEDIATELY. This could be a sign that your implant/abutment/crown need additional treatment. I hope this helps! Dr P READ MORE
