Is dental implant placement or healing uncomfortable?
Placing implants is generally a relatively painless procedure when done by expert dental implant specialist such as Dr. Barbnaell. Usually Novocaine or another similar local anesthetic is all that is necessary to eliminate discomfort during dental implant placement. Complementary oral sedation is offered as an additional service by Dr. Barbanell to make dental implant placement as comfortable as possible, inexpensive and affordable. Dental implant patients may have oral sedation in the form of a pill (Ativan) to become sleepy and relaxed during the dental implant placement procedure. Many patients who take such a pill do not remember much of the dental implant placement procedure the next day and say they felt very relaxed and the procedure went by very quickly. The level of discomfort after the local anesthetic wears off is based on the dental implant patient’s individual tolerance for pain and the amount of dental implants placed.
