Most definitely. Probably a version of Tylenol. NSAIDS, such as Motrin or Advil, can actually slow down the healing of implants. Talk to your surgeon or whoever is placing the implant for you.
It depends on how traumatic the procedure will be. Many times patients will not require to take anything. Most other times, if it is a minor procedure OTC pain medications should suffice.
