Usually: Usually pain is minor after implants. Have dentist prescribe a stronger med just in case.

Many of my: patients required only one or two doses of NSAIDs. But remember each individual is different and reacts differently to surgical procedures.

Yup: Most people don't. In fact, after 25+ years of placing implants, it is difficult to recall a situation where the post operative recovery was anything other than smooth. Relax and do not give it a second thought.

Post-op pain control: The pain is easily controlled with over the counter analgesics such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. It is not common to prescribe narcotic analgesic if surgical procedure goes well, fast and without any complications.
