Does placing a crown on an implant hurt?
It typically does not hurt but this all depends on each patient’s situation. One example is when tissue collapse occurs at the implant site and you are seating an implant crown for the first time then this could be potentially “painful” or just uncomfortable depending on how much soft tissue is being pushed or displaced. After some time, the discomfort will go away. READ MORE
How long do mini implants last?
I'd be honest. Your better alternative would be just to invest in getting regular dental implants (no minis). The regular-sized implants will give you less problems and less potential "headaches" in the future. READ MORE
How long does a tooth extraction and bone graft take to stop hurting?
Normally and typically, post-operative pain after an extraction with standard bone graft placed into the extraction socket is most prominent up to 24 hours with swelling up to 48 hours and will gradually decrease as time persists. Of course, this varies from one patient to another with many other factors (such as age, medical conditions, etc.) that can contribute to the pain time frame and healing process. READ MORE
