If the thought of dental implants makes you a little nervous, you’re not alone. Many patients express worry about the procedure being painful, but the good news is that dental implants are much more comfortable than you think.
At Glen Lake Dental, we’ll guide you through the process and give you the peace of mind you deserve about this popular tooth replacement option.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone. It replaces your tooth’s roots and supports a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Is the Dental Implant Procedure Painful or Uncomfortable?
Before your implant procedure, we’ll use a local anesthesia to numb your mouth completely so that you won’t feel any pain. You will likely feel pressure but not sharp pain.
After your implant procedure, your mouth may be sore, and you may experience swelling and mild discomfort. We recommend taking over-the-counter pain medication to manage the discomfort.
We’ll give you detailed instructions on how to care for your mouth when you get home.
