Many times they can simply be reverse torqued out with minimal pain. Each case is unique however.
Dental implant removal is performed under local anesthesia +/- nitrous, oral sedation, or intravenous sedation. You should not feel sharp pain during the procedure itself if you have been given adequate local anesthesia. The recovery will be similar to when the implant was placed and you should expect some swelling, discomfort and bleeding in the recovery period.
That would depend on whether or not the implant is failing or solid. My assumption would that is being removed because it is failing. Probably similar to a tooth extraction.
The procedure itself is not painful since it is performed under local anesthesia. After dental implantation, once the numbness wears off, mild pain may be noticed by the patient. Most patients who undergo this procedure say the pain is less than the pain of tooth extraction.
