Unfortunately, it depends. The more invasive the surgery the more swelling & tissue discoloration you will have. If you are having minor bone grafting done at the same time you generally
will have some minor swelling in the area (think grape sized puffiness at the site of surgery). Major bone grafting or multiple implants means more swelling. A simple single implant screw with no grafting & no extractions generally has minimal to no swelling so long as you follow the post-operative instructions, take any antibiotics prescribed, and ice the area.

There are multiple factors that can contribute to tooth sensitivity. Some people just have more sensitive teeth than others and have to be careful what they eat, avoiding those foods that cause sensitivity. Some people have tooth sensitivity because of cavities; usually this leads to sensitivity to sweets and temperatures. Many people have sensitive root surfaces because of receding gums that expose the dentin of the root surface (generally sensitive for most people). There are other factors that could contribute to tooth sensitivity. If the cause can be identified there are procedures that can help or at least improve the sensitivity (cavities=fillings, receding gums=gum procedure).
