Question

How much does getting a tooth pulled hurt? Does getting a dental implant to replace a tooth hurt?

Answer 1

Doesnt hurt...I had nearly 10 teeth pulled throughout my childhood! The dentist will numb your gums so all you really feel is some pressure.

Answer 2

A dental extraction SHOULD NOT hurt if you are relaxed and have profound anesthesia.  If you are nervous the adrenaline gets going and actually fights the anesthesia so its harder for you to get numb.

Implants--well, you will, again, be numbed.  The s***w goes into your bone.  There are no nerves in your bone so no, it shouldn't hurt.

Most patients that have them done, describe them as any other procedure.  You're numbed, the procedure is done, you leave and maybe later you are a little bit sore.

Good luck on your dental visit.

See my avatar? That is my new smile, I have dental implants. I was awake for a 6 hour surgery. My teeth were pulled, implants placed and my new teeth attached in one day. I had shots to numb me so I felt nothing during the procedure. I had all my teeth pulled and believe it or not double wisdom teeth pulled that day that were impacted. So yes I hurt pretty good after my surgery but the pain meds really helped. Sure I hurt after my teeth were pulled but having a dental implant didn't make it worse.I know many whose tooth is already missing and they get dental implants and are never more than just sore. Because it is the removal of the tooths root that causes the pain.
