Should Not: The first stage of implant reconstruction with placement of the implant is usually the more involved procedure, and some patients may have some postoperative swelling. Generally, the restorative phase with placement of the abutment (device that is placed on top of the implant to hold the crown) and fabricated crown does not result in facial swelling.

Not likely: With today’s changing technology, implants restoration have become a great choice for replacement of missing teeth without swelling or complications.
