Is it painful?
Most patients experience only mild, manageable discomfort—similar to a tooth extraction—thanks to modern anesthesia and post-op support.
The procedure itself is typically performed under local anesthesia, with sedation options available to help you relax or remain comfortably asleep. During placement, you should feel no pain—only pressure or movement, like most routine dental work. Our team monitors your comfort continuously and adjusts anesthesia as needed to ensure a calm experience.
After surgery, any soreness is usually brief and responds well to over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. We provide detailed aftercare instructions—including advice on, oral hygiene, and activity restrictions—to minimize swelling and support smooth healing. Most patients resume light activities the next day.
We follow up closely within 24–48 hours to assess healing and address concerns early. If you’re anxious about pain, let us know—we offer additional comfort strategies like chilled gels, gentle techniques, and time-tested sedation protocols to tailor your experience. Your comfort isn’t an afterthought; it’s built into our process.
