Replacing missing teeth through dental implants definitely won’t be pain-free, but that doesn’t mean that the pain will be unbearable. Oral surgeons and dentists will work with the patient to come up with the best pain management method. During and after the procedure, there may be discomfort, but with the right pain management tools, the amount of pain that comes with the implant placement should be controlled.
After placement, the implants may cause some soreness or discomfort but again, there shouldn’t be major pain. As the implants fuse with the bone and the wounds heal, the mouth will definitely feel some discomfort. However, this can all be managed with medications.
