Is it painful to get dental implants?
Any surgery hurts for a while until you heal. Just give yourself a reasonable time to recover after you get your implants.

Reply:Prosthetic Dental Implant Procedure


The prosthetic dental implant procedure process may take from three to nine months because of the time needed


for your bone to heal around the dental implant body.





--------------------------------------...





First procedure: under anesthesia an artificial root (implant body) is placed into the jaw bone. Healing time is up to six months (some systems have immediate loading).














Second procedure: at the time of uncovery, a healing cap (abutment) is placed on to the prosthetic dental implant (some systems are different and there is no need for healing abutments).





Third procedure: when the bone is completely healed to the dental implant, proper fixtures will be placed on to the prosthetic dental implant. At that point the implant will be loaded with either a screw retained crown or a cemented crown.

Reply:Depends on how many you get and what your pain threshold is. Some people freak out over nothing and some are like meh not sooo bad. In my experiance with being a dental assistant to a doctor who does implants, most patients have little to no pain. So have some discomfort but nothing that can't be helped with a mild pain reliever. But it just all depends on how you heal and everyone is different.
Reply:I can tell you from personal experience that it does not hurt, or at least it did not hurt me. I had to get a crown put in because I lost a tooth. Here is a rundown of the procedure:





1. remove the rest of the damaged tooth.


2. drill a titanium rod into your gums where the old tooth was


3. Let the area heal and for the tissue around it


4. screw implant onto the titanium rod





None of this hurt because I was put under when the tooth was removed and the titanium rod was drilled in
