Does a dental implant hurt?

Anxiety is often worse than the appointment. We explain each step, numb thoroughly, and check you are comfortable before we start. Sedation can be discussed for nervous patients or longer surgical visits — see sedation dentistry.

Healing is quiet work. The implant needs weeks to months to integrate with bone before the final crown is fitted. That waiting period is not pain; it is biology. You will have a dated timeline in your written plan.

If swelling, fever or difficulty swallowing appears after surgery, treat that as urgent and phone us the same day.
