Is dental implant surgery painful?
Most patients report that dental implant surgery is less painful than they expected. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and we offer sedation options including IV sedation for anxious patients. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
