Is Getting a Dental Implant Painful?

In this video, Dr. Chris Powell explains that getting a dental implant involves minimal discomfort, with most patients returning to work the next day.

Many people ask if getting a dental implant is painful. Surprisingly, it is not as painful as you might expect. Most patients may take pain medication on the first night and possibly into the second day, but typically, ibuprofen is sufficient for the first day or two. Many patients are able to return to work the same day or the next day after the procedure. There is no need to be afraid of pain, as dental implants generally do not cause significant discomfort.
