One of the most common questions we receive is: “Are dental implants painful?”
Answer: Contrary to popular belief, modern dental implant procedures are performed under local anesthesia and using advanced techniques that minimize pain, sometimes to the point of being almost non-existent. After the implant, the patient may feel slight discomfort or minor swelling, which will disappear within a few days with the use of painkillers. Implants are not only a permanent solution for missing teeth, but also maintain jaw health and provide a natural appearance and excellent chewing and speech function.
