How long will it take for my dental implants to stop hurting? My dentist keeps telling me to give it more time. I got the implants in August to secure my dentures. They are tender overall but when I eat it\u2019s totally uncomfortable. I\u2019ve lost weight because of it. Most of the pain is on the top left side of my mouth. That helps because I usually chew on the right side anyway. It\u2019s just the pressure from chewing. Sometimes it feels like it\u2019s going into my sinuses. How much longer is it going to take before the pain goes away? Thanks Dinah<\/p>\n

During several weeks after getting dental implants, pain and discomfort are normal. If you received your implants in August, by no means should you be feeling pain when you chew. Your dentist shouldn\u2019t tell you to give it more time.<\/p>\n

Although Dr. Szarek would need to examine your implants to let you know exactly what\u2019s going on, your dentist needs to take a closer look to identify the source of your discomfort. If he can\u2019t figure it out, we have some suggestions.<\/p>\n

We suggest that you give your dentist another opportunity to address the issues. If you\u2019re not satisfied with his efforts:<\/p>\n
