Does the implant procedure hurt? What should I expect during surgery?
Most patients report that getting an implant is easier than a tooth extraction.
During surgery, we use local anesthesia or sedation to ensure complete comfort. You will feel pressure but no pain.
After the procedure:
• Mild soreness for 24–48 hours
• Swelling for a day or two
• Pain is manageable with routine medications
• Most people resume normal activities within a day
Because implants are minimally invasive and performed with precision, the recovery is typically smooth.
