When a patient sits down in the chair of a dentist-surgeon, a million thoughts flash through his head and excitement arises from the upcoming manipulations. Dentistry does not stand still, and every day even the most complex operations become more comfortable during the manipulation itself, and the rehabilitation period is easier.
But because of past unsuccessful trips to the dentist, people already have a preconceived attitude towards any dental treatment.
This operation consists in building up bone tissue in the upper jaw for further successful implantation of teeth. There are 2 types of sinus lift: open and closed. In both cases, manipulation requires a major intervention in the soft tissues of the oral cavity, which causes fear in the eyes of the patient.
Pain during surgery
It is believed that pain in any surgical treatment is much higher than in the treatment of, for example, caries. This is not true. With any intervention, even such a large one as dental implantation, the most modern anesthetic drugs are used.
“What if the effect of anesthesia wears off during the operation?”
The Dental Way clinic employs high-level surgeons who know what dose of anesthetic should be applied during the sinus lift operation to ensure painlessness for the entire procedure.
If the anesthesia begins to wear off, you will feel it gradually and you will be able to inform your doctor about it, who will repeat the procedure to numb the area of the operation.
Pain during the rehabilitation phase
Any tissue damage tends to hurt, because this is a complex process controlled by our nervous system, and it will not go away completely unnoticed.
These sensations are not unbearable. Discomfort must be endured, it will pass in a few days.
After major operations, the dentist will prescribe painkillers for you, which will make the healing period of the surgical wound completely painless.
“Doctor, what if I have a huge swelling after the operation?”
What is edema? This is the body’s way of protecting the tissues in the operation area from any impact and creating conditions for fast and comfortable tissue regeneration.
A major intervention is often accompanied by swelling, which disappears after a few days. If it persists for a long time, then you need to contact your doctor.
The main success of any operation is competent planning and compliance with all recommendations given by the doctor. At the very beginning, you can ask all your questions and your dentist will tell you in detail the stages and sensations both during the operation and after. Do not trust third-party sources that are not related to dentistry.
