“How long does dental implant pain last?”
I had a dental implant procedure 3 days ago and still feel pain. How long does dental implant pain last?

If you are concerned about pain you should contact your dentist. Simple implant placement will heal much faster than if it was done at the same time as an extraction or grafting procedure. Pain after three days could be completely normal depending on what exactly was done.
Hi!
I am so sorry that you still are experiencing pain. Typically, when a surgical procedure is done, such as an extraction or a dental implant, the pain will usually peak at day 3-4 and will subside and get better with a little soreness. Some patients in my practice experience no pain which is great! While others say that have a little pain, but only last for a few days and subsides.
In more complex cases, if the procedure was difficult or took longer, the pain may last a little longer.
If you continue to experience pain, I would consult with your dentist to make sure everything looks healthy and there is no infection. Hope this helps!

Depending on the procedure you had, dental implant procedures can be a little uncomfortable. It might be a good idea to reach out to your dentist to let them know and maybe find reassurance that your discomfort is normal for the procedure you had.
The pain should only be minimal by day 3. If it is still intense after the third day you should contact the treating dentist.
