Does Getting a Dental Implant Hurt? What Patients Should Really Expect

“Will it hurt?”
This is one of the most common questions patients ask before getting a dental implant. The reassuring truth is that, at Ledismile Dental Clinic, most patients report very little to no pain during the procedure — and minimal discomfort afterward.

A Comfortable Procedure with Local Anesthesia

Dental implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area completely. This means the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. Instead, most describe only mild pressure or gentle vibrations, similar to what they might experience during a routine dental filling.

Modern techniques and advanced digital technology allow for a minimally invasive approach. As a result, the procedure is quick, highly precise, and remarkably comfortable.

What to Expect After the Procedure

Some mild swelling or tenderness may occur during the first one to two days. These symptoms are normal and typically resolve quickly with the post-operative care instructions provided by the dentist.

In the majority of cases, patients return to work or resume their daily activities within 24–48 hours.
