The thought of undergoing a dental procedure like an implant can be daunting for many people. Thankfully, the dentists at Raines Dental are well-trained and experienced in providing dental implant restorations that are safe and minimally invasive. But one of the most common questions patients ask is: do dental implants hurt?
The answer to this question is simple: no, they don’t! The entire process is performed with anesthesia to ensure the patient does not feel any discomfort throughout the procedure. During the operation itself, only a local anesthetic will be used if necessary. This ensures that pain is kept to an absolute minimum during the placement of the implant and any restoration work afterward.
For those who experience anxiety while visiting a dentist, there are also other sedation options available such as nitrous oxide or oral sedation.
