Dental Implant Placement is NOT painful
Dental implant placement is relatively painless. For years, I personally have called every patient in the evening after placing dental implants. So far 99% of patients, at most report being a little sore the day of implant placement. It's actually less painful that extracting a tooth. Many of my cases are performed flaplessly, meaning the gum is not cut and pulled back. This makes the healing even easier.

Pain after implant surgery
Usually implant placement is not a painful procedure. When implant is placed flaplessly the patient usually has mild discomfort that goes away in a couple of hours and in more extended situations it can be compaired to uncomplicated tooth extraction. In cases when additional grafting is performed the discomfort from the surgery can easily be managed with mild pain medication. Majority of the procedures is performed under local anesthesia.

Implants are a minor surgery
Like getting a tooth pulled, a dental implant is a minor surgical proceedure. Usually people report having less sensitivity than pulling the tooth, but it can have a range from slight to moderate discomfort. The actual placement can be done with no pain after the local anesthetic is given.

Pain after dental implants?
For placement of a dental implant, the discomfort most patients complain of is associated with the incision made in the gum tissue (if even an incision is necessary). Bone has no nerve endings, so you won't experience pain related to the implant being placed into bone.
Although I provide my patients with a prescription for pain, most, if not all, tell me that they didn't need it.

Dental implant is not a painful procedure
Most patients take mild pain medications after dental implant placement. It causes minimal discomfort when done properly and in an atraumatic manner. During surgery, many of my patients choose IV sedation for comfort but it is also quite possible to do it comfortably under local anesthesia or nitrous oxide sedation.

Its minor surgery,therefore minor discomfort.
The mouth has an amazingly quick healing time due to the vascularization of the gums,bone etc. You will be numb during the most painful part and by the time it wears off the pain will be minimal to none..

Dental implant placement is relatively painless
There are several methods to the surgery, some more uncomfortable than others. Most remark that having a filling is more uncomfortable, so a rule of thumb would be that dental implants are not significantly uncomfortable (nice double negative, eh?).
The biggest factor is that there are no nerves in bone, so all discomfort comes from gum tissue treatment. If the tissue is "flapped" there is more discomfort than if there was just a small punch of tissue.
