In all honesty i’m going for the implant. I’m still in pain from mine and I had them done nearly a week ago. In the past my tooth extractions hurt for up to two days max, but without the extreme swelling and bruising i got from the implants.
BUT
It depends on every person and how the body reacts.
After doing dentistry for 40+ years and having both procedures done to me, here is my answer. Doing either procedure should be painless whether you are numbed up or have IV sedation. Post op pain is much less from the implant than from a surgical extraction.
implant hurts more
