Replacing Missing Teeth With Dental Implants

What to Expect with Dental Implants
Dr. Purdy equates the procedure as similar to a filling or a
crown when it comes to pain tolerance and discomfort. He practices conservative dentistry so will only do the bare minimum necessary to achieve results. He takes extra steps to minimize post-op problems including pain and swelling. In almost all cases, narcotics are not even necessary and patients can manage pan with OTC medication.
