The pain associated with getting a dental implant varies from person to person and depends on the individual’s pain tolerance and the complexity of the procedure. Some patients may experience discomfort or soreness for a few days following the implant surgery, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs. In more complex cases, such as those involving bone grafting or multiple implants, patients may experience more significant pain and discomfort. However, most patients report that any discomfort is manageable and outweighed by the benefits of a fully restored smile.
