Is dental implant surgery painful?
Most patients are surprised at how comfortable dental implant surgery is. During the procedure, you'll feel no pain due to:
- Local anesthesia (numbing)
- Sedation options (oral sedation or IV sedation available)
- Dr. Talwar's gentle, precise technique
After surgery, most patients describe discomfort as mild to moderate, similar to a tooth extraction. Recovery is typically managed with: - Over-the-counter pain relievers (ibuprofen/acetaminophen) - Prescription medication if needed - Ice packs for swelling - Soft foods for a few days
Most patients return to work the next day and feel back to normal within a week. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and is available for any questions during recovery.
If dental anxiety is a concern, ask about our sedation dentistry options.
