“Is dental implant surgery painful?”

Most of our patients say it is not as bad as having a tooth pulled.

Dental implant surgery can vary in terms of discomfort depending on several factors, including your pain tolerance, the complexity of the procedure, and the extent of any pre-existing dental issues. During the procedure, you can expect local anesthesia or even sedation to help you relax. After the procedure, your periodontist will likely prescribe pain medication or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to manage any discomfort. The best option is to speak with your dentist about your particular treatment plan. He or she can provide additional support to help make the process as comfortable as possible for you!
