Are dental implants painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during a dental implant procedure because it is performed under local anesthesia. Mild soreness is common for a few days afterward, but it is easily managed with prescribed pain medication. Many patients say the process is more comfortable than a tooth extraction.
