The process of getting dental implants is not painful. We provide you with a local anesthetic and can also provide sedation. You will not feel any discomfort during the procedure. Once the anesthetic wears off, it is not uncommon for patients to feel some pain. This pain should begin to subside and eventually disappear after your surgery. If you experience an excessive amount of pain, or the pain only worsens after surgery, you should schedule an appointment right away.
