In addition, patients may experience post-surgical adverse effects during the first stage implant post placement such as pain, swelling, and bleeding at the surgical site.

Whether a patient needs to have bone grafts will depends on the clinical assessment by your implant specialist, who will consider various factors such as the jawbone condition, the location of the implant, and the potential risks of the procedure to ensure safe and successful results.
