What are the side effects of All-on-4 dental implants?

 The side effects of having All-on-4 implants placed in one's mouth are related to the surgical process. These side effects can vary from person to person, with the most common side effect being chronic gum inflammation. Other side effects that have been seen in people who have had All-on-4 dental implants placed in their mouths include:

Tooth and bone resorption
Gum recession
Loosening of the gums that stick out around the implant
Discolouration of the teeth surrounding the implant due to discolouration from plaque building up around it
Permanent changes to chewing muscles may lead to malocclusion (misalignment) or molar shift.

The main side effects include:

Discomfort

The discomfort faced after having the All-on-4 procedure done depends on how much an individual can handle pain and other factors. Some patients may be sore for several days after the surgery, but most sufferers of this level of discomfort say that it is not that bad and can be handled.

Some patients have said that they can return to work right after the surgery. Still, most patients say they sit around at home for a few days following their procedure because it would be hard to sit at work after, or even being upright would increase the amount of pain.

Pain

The type of pain that comes after having dental implants placed is related to the surgery itself and the healing process. After getting dental implants placed in your mouth, many patients have said they experience soreness around the implant site, especially when eating foods and drinking liquids like coffee.

Sensitivity

Patients have said they experience a burning sensation while drinking coffee or other hot drinks, which may be attributed to either hot fluids eating away at a newly placed implant. The discomfort felt by people can vary drastically depending on how much of a tolerance one has to pain, but most patients feel it is no worse than having a tooth pulled or wisdom teeth removed.
