So figure on staying in Israel for around 6 months - the first of which will be uncomfortable and inconvenienced.

I too wondered how you can just zip over to Israel and have an implant, since the process can take up to a year.
However, I have had two implants and am in the process of having two more, with all the lead-ups--tooth extraction, bone graft, sinus lift surgery, temporary. I have never had any pain, nor any of the other problems you describe.
But I wouldn't go to Israel for an implant. Too expensive and can't be done in one shot.
