During the procedure, most patients will be given local anesthesia as well as some form of sedation, so you will feel little to no pain. After the procedure and once the anesthesia wears off, you may experience some bleeding and swelling of the gums for which we will give you some simple painkillers. This discomfort will last for just a few days. If you experience increased bleeding, swelling, and pain, accompanied by a fever, call us immediately for an urgent appointment.
