Is Getting a Dental Implant Painful?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains that most patients experience minimal pain after dental implant placement, with over-the-counter pain relievers typically sufficient for discomfort. If you’re considering dental implants, schedule a free consultation today to learn about the procedure and recovery process.

Most patients experience very little pain after the placement of dental implants. This is partly because we provide appropriate medications to help manage any postoperative discomfort. Following the procedure, patients typically find that over-the-counter pain relievers are sufficient to control any mild soreness or discomfort.

While the procedure itself is well-tolerated, we ensure that you are comfortable throughout the recovery process by offering guidance on pain management and prescribing medications if needed. Most patients report minimal discomfort and are able to resume their normal activities relatively quickly after the implant placement.
