Why do you have this horrible burning sensation after dental implants and bone graphs?

Dental implants and bone grafts are both surgical procedures. It is normal to experience discomfort, pain, and inflammation that will feel like a burn after either of these procedures.

After a dental implant, you may experience:

* Pain at the implant site. This is usually mild and should go away within a few days.

* Swelling around the implant site. This may last for a few days to a week.

* Bruising around the implant site. This is also common and should go away within a few days.

* Bleeding from the implant site. This should be minimal and will usually stop within a day or two.

* Discomfort when eating or drinking. This is also normal and should go away within a few days.

* A burning sensation at the implant site. This is a less common side effect but can occur. It is usually caused by the implant coming into contact with the bone. The burning sensation should go away within a few days.

After a bone graft, you may experience:

* Pain at the graft site. This is usually mild and should go away within a few days.

* Swelling around the graft site. This may last for a few days to a week.

* Bruising around the graft site. This is also common and should go away within a few days.

* Bleeding from the graft site. This should be minimal and will usually stop within a day or two.

* Difficulty opening your mouth. This is a common side effect of a bone graft and should go away within a few days.

* A burning sensation at the graft site. This is a less common side effect but can occur. It is usually caused by the bone graft material coming into contact with the bone. The burning sensation should go away within a few days.
