If the dental implant doesn’t fit in properly with your bite, it can also cause pain in the bone around your dental implant. This can be treated with antibiotics as well as removal of any contaminated material. But many times there’s no traceable cause this type of infection. Other times it is related to poor oral hygiene. This might be more common if you get dental implants in Mexico or other foreign destination. Sometimes this is related to problems with the dental implant procedure, such as excess cement from the abutment. This is when bacteria have begun to invade the bone around the dental implant. A dental implant infection, peri-implantitis, is the most common cause of pain around a dental implant. Most often, the dental implant pain is coming from the gums and bone around the dental implant. Pain associated with a dental implant must be coming from somewhere else. The implant itself is completely incapable of experiencing pain.

If you develop dental implant pain years later, it’s not a good sign and it demands attention.ĭental implants aren’t like normal teeth because they don’t have nerves inside the tooth.

In fact, you should pretty much forget it’s there most of the time (except, hopefully, when it comes time to clean it). After the initial healing period, your dental implant should be comfortable.
