No matter how careful the work is, complications cannot always be avoided. Minor injuries to the mucosa or bone heal without consequences; bleeding can be stopped with cold compresses and firm pressure on the wound with gauze or a tampon. Before the procedure, please inform us about any medications affecting blood clotting or certain medications for osteoporosis, as we will adjust the treatment process accordingly.
In the lower jaw, a rare but possible nerve injury can occur, causing a temporary, or more rarely permanent, decrease in sensation in the lower lip.
In the upper jaw, due to the position of the roots, a temporary opening of the maxillary sinus can sometimes occur. In this case, it is important to follow our post-operative instructions. Healing is mostly spontaneous, but sometimes surgical treatment is required.
