Is Getting an Implant Denture Painful?

In this video, Dr. John Coolican, a renowned Wilkes-Barre, PA implant dentist, explains the minimal discomfort you can expect when receiving dental implants for denture retention.

A common question I get is do these mini implants hurt? All right. I can tell you that all precautions are taken to make you completely numb for this procedure. This procedure does not involve cutting of the gum or stitches. The implants are placed painlessly and quickly in place and your new implant denture is snapped into place. Most patients tell me that they feel little achy for a day or two and that’s about it. Please call me to schedule your free consultation to discuss the possibilities that I can do for you.
