A member asked:
Would it be abnormal not to experience any pain after a sinus lift and implant?

WNL: (within normal limits) yes, it is perfectly normal. Many people will have some discomfort, which is easily managable with pain meds.

Individual variance: It's amazing how different we all are. Whether it's the removal of a wisdom tooth, periodontal surgery, a sinus lift, or placement of a dental implant, some patients take no pain medication and do not swell while others need strong pain medication, swell and turn black and blue. Everyone is different. I can't predict how you will do. You and your own dentist can predict things better.
