It is purely the experience of surgery in the mouth after injection of local anaesthesia. The actual implant placements are usually less invasive then a tooth extraction and even postoperative complications such as swelling, bruising, discomfort are in general less prominent than after extraction of multiple teeth.
For the prosthetic restoration with a fixed arch of artificial teeth (implant bridge), an impression will be taken intraorally directly after implant placement. The placement of the temporary implant bridge usually takes place the following day within 24 hours and only seldom needs the application of local anaesthesia.
After a healing period of approximately 3 months, all implants will be checked for stability and the temporary fixed implant bridge will be replaced with a permanent fixed implant bridge that pays attention to the new conditions of healed gums.
