Debunking Dental Implant Pain Myths at Sparks Dental

One of the most common questions we hear at Sparks Dental is: "Do dental implants hurt?" Let's set the record straight by debunking common myths and giving you the real facts about implant discomfort.

The Truth About Dental Implant Pain

Myth 1: "Implant Surgery is Extremely Painful"

Fact: Thanks to modern techniques at Sparks Dental, most patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction.

• We use local anesthesia to completely numb the area

• Sedation options are available for anxious patients

• You'll only feel gentle pressure, not pain during the procedure

Myth 2: "Recovery is Unbearable"

Fact: Post-op discomfort is typically:
✔ Mild and temporary (2-3 days)
✔ Easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers
✔ Less severe than most people expect

Our patients at Sparks Dental receive detailed aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort.
