How much does a full set of both upper lower dental implants cost? How much pain are in during the surgery?
Anywhere between 2G and 4G each, depending on the dentist. There is some discomfort during the surgery, but remember that the area being worked upon will be completely anesthesized. The pain, comparative to the procedure, is relatively minimal.


Specific lab (coagulation time, etc.) test(s) are required prior to the procedure (results expire in 3 months, so make sure you do the procedure within that time span). You may be given additional instructions to follow before the day of the surgery. (That will be at the dentist's discretion).


On the day of the surgery, they will make a saggital incision into the gum area covering the projected bony implant site, and, there, screw in the spike-screw or core, onto which, at a later date, the crown piece will be fitted. Constant ice application (about 3 minutes on / 3minutes off) to the area is usually recommended, for at least 24 hrs. straight; absolute rest it is recommended, while it is usually recommended that antibiotics and pain medication be taken for several days.


The most painful period is the first 3 or 4 days. Then, the pain begins gradually deceasing. By the end of the first week, as you heal, the pain becomes only a discomfort; and, by the end of of the second week, you should be ready and OK. The implant goes in at least six month later, to allow for the bone to grab-on to the spike, and for the area to heal.


In some cases (it is not uncommon), there are certain complications which may arise, such as: rejection, infection, inflammation, hemorrhaging, etc. (the usual issues). Should any of these occur, do not hesitate to call the dentist immediately and seek his urgent attention.


The best way to avoid these issues is to follow the suggestions mentioned above (repeated as follows):


1. Constant ice for the first 24 hrs. (3 min. on/3 min. off).


2. Rest for 48 hrs.


3. Antibiotics (or your prescribed anti- inflammatory/bacteriostatic/bactericidal agent) for 7 to 10 days (or, as directed by the professional in charge).


4. Pain-management for the duration of the pain cycle.


5. Ingest liquid food only, for about 4 days, or longer, then, gradually, begin incorporating more solids into the diet, as you are more able to tolerate (or chew).


After this, wait at least 6 months to be ready to receive your new crown (prosthesis).


We trust this information will help you


dispel any doubts, fears, or misconceptions about the procedure.
