Does the dental implant treatment hurt?

Most patients report that having a dental implant placed is easier than having a tooth extracted. Many patients will state that it feels like having a filling placed. There is some vibration and "drilling" sounds, but it is a very comfortable procedure.

Most patients will have some mild discomfort for a few days following dental implant placement, but usually nothing requiring more than Motrin or Tylenol. About 30% of patients will have some mild swelling for three to four days. Most patients are fine to return to work the following day and strenuous exercise in two days.
