I just had a dental implant 2 hours ago. I'm home. No pain. Sometimes it seems like all people hear are the horror stories about different dental procedures, and obviously everyone has a different experience -- but sometimes its not so bad. It helps that Dr Tinawi is very calm and he's really concerned about not causing you any pain. It also helps that he has a sense of humor. It's nice to have a dentisy who's not too serious all the time.
