Most patients are pleasantly surprised to find that getting a dental implant is not as painful as they expect. At Gordon Dental in St. Augustine, FL, the procedure is performed using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the process. You may feel slight pressure during the placement, but not pain.
After the procedure, it’s normal to experience mild soreness or swelling for a few days, similar to what you might feel after a tooth extraction. This can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and following your dentist’s aftercare instructions.
Our team is committed to making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. If you have concerns or would like to learn more, call us at (904) 460-0999 or schedule an appointment at our St. Augustine, FL office today.
