If you've lost a lot of teeth and thought about getting dental implants, you may have heard about All-on-4 implants. All-on-4 implants are generally safe and effective, but like any surgical procedure, there are potential side effects and risks. Common side effects include temporary pain and discomfort after surgery, swelling and bruising, minor bleeding, and sensitivity of the gums. These typically subside within a few days. Rare but more serious complications can include infection at the implant site, nerve damage, sinus problems (for upper jaw implants), and implant failure. Proper candidate screening, good surgical technique, and careful post-operative care minimize these risks.
