Does implant or periodontal surgery hurt?
This is one of the most frequent concerns. After surgery, the most common comment we receive is how comfortable people were after the procedure. If you follow the postoperative instructions as directed and take the non narcotic prescriptions and antibiotics Dr. Desai has suggested and finally apply ice to the extraoral skin surface of the surgical site, most people return to work the next day and comment how smoothly things have gone! The most common complaint is some residual root sensitivity which lessens usually within 4-6 weeks after surgery.
