Are Dental Implants Painful? What Longmont Patients Should Know

October 7, 2025

If you’ve been thinking about getting dental implants but worry about pain or recovery, you’re not alone. At Revive-Dental™, serving patients in Longmont, Boulder, Firestone, and across Northern Colorado, we hear this question every day:

“Are dental implants painful?”
The good news? Most patients report only mild discomfort, and many say it’s far easier than they expected.

Why Implant Placement Is More Comfortable Than You Think

Modern implant dentistry has made significant advancements. At Revive-Dental™, we use advanced imaging, precise placement technology, and sedation options to ensure every patient feels relaxed and confident from start to finish.
Here’s what makes the experience so comfortable:

  • Local anesthesia or IV sedation: You won’t feel pain during the procedure. Most patients describe feeling light pressure but no discomfort.
  • Minimally invasive techniques: Using guided technology, Dr. Briskie places implants with precision, which reduces swelling, bleeding, and post-op soreness.
  • Fast healing and same-day solutions: Many patients receive temporary teeth the same day as surgery, minimizing downtime and maximizing comfort.

What to Expect After the Procedure

It’s normal to experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days, similar to what you would after having a tooth extracted. Most patients manage it easily with over-the-counter pain relievers and return to their normal routines within a few days.
To ensure the smoothest recovery, our team provides:

  • Personalized post-op instructions
  • Access to gentle pain management options
  • Follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Long-Term Comfort and Confidence

Once healed, dental implants feel completely natural, just like real teeth. There’s no slipping, clicking, or irritation like with traditional dentures. You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence knowing your implants are secure and comfortable.
And because implants prevent bone loss, they help protect your facial structure and oral health long-term, making them one of the best investments you can make in your overall wellness.

Your Comfort Is Our Priority

At Revive-Dental™, we specialize in helping patients overcome dental anxiety and rebuild their smiles with confidence. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or need a full-arch restoration with All-on-6 dental implants, our team is here to make the process comfortable, safe, and life-changing.
