When you get a dental implant, you can be sure that the first month or so is not going to be pleasant. After that, though, it should be smooth sailing. Dental implant complications are extremely rare, but they can occur. Tooth implant pain is even rarer. Some amount of pain is to be expected, seeing as this is an invasive oral surgical procedure, which will definitely involve drilling a hole in your jawbone and inserting a titanium screw into it. But after the body has accepted the dental implant, there should be no residual pain what so ever, maybe just a little soreness and some bruising.
