Controlling Pain After Implant Placement

Jen, a dentist, asks:

I am getting ready to do my first dental implant cases. I am a general practitioner with residency experience.

What do you usually prescribe for patients to control their pain after dental implant placement and what do you prescribe to decrease swelling? I want my dental implant patients to be comfortable but I do not want to over-prescribe. Thanks for any advice.
