Do Dental Implants Hurt?

Dental implants are one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions for missing teeth — but many patients hesitate, wondering: “Do dental implants hurt?” At Dr. Aburas Dental Center in Dubai, we understand your concerns and are here to walk you through the process step by step.

🦷 What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once healed, a crown is placed on top to restore both function and appearance.

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are permanent, stable, and preserve bone health — making them a preferred solution among dental professionals.

😟 The Big Question: Does the Procedure Hurt?

The short answer is: No, the dental implant procedure should not be painful. With modern technology and local anesthesia, the surgery is typically painless. In fact, most patients say the discomfort is less than a tooth extraction.

What Makes the Process Comfortable?

✅ Local Anesthesia: Completely numbs the area during the procedure
✅ Sedation Options: For nervous patients, we offer conscious sedation or full sedation to make the experience stress-free
✅ Expertise Matters: At Aburas Dental Center, our experienced implant specialists use minimally invasive techniques for faster healing and less discomfort

🛠️ What Happens During the Procedure?

1. Consultation & Imaging: 3D scans (CBCT) are used to plan precise implant placement
2. Implant Placement: The implant is inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia
3. Healing (Osseointegration): Takes 3–6 months as the implant bonds with bone
4. Crown Placement: A natural-looking crown is attached to the healed implant

The surgical part typically takes less than an hour for a single implant.

🤕 What About Pain After the Surgery?

It’s normal to experience mild swelling, soreness, or bruising in the days following surgery. However, this discomfort is manageable and temporary.

How We Help You Heal Comfortably:

• Pain medication: Over-the-counter or prescribed painkillers
• Cold compresses: Reduce swelling
• Soft food diet: For the first few days
• Follow-up visits: To ensure proper healing

Most patients feel back to normal within 3 to 5 days.
