Is Dental Implant Procedure Painful?

The fear of pain is a genuine concern for many patients considering dental implant procedures.

The reason lies in the endless pain management options available in dental field nowadays:

Here are some of these options:

• Topical Numbing Gel: Before administering local anesthesia, we apply a topical numbing gel to eliminate any discomfort associated with the injection.

• Local Anesthesia (Shot): We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area completely. You'll hardly feel any pain during the procedure.

• Laughing Gas: For those who may still feel anxious or uneasy, we offer laughing gas (nitrous oxide) to induce relaxation and further reduce any potential discomfort.

• Conscious Sedation: In cases where patients require additional relaxation, conscious sedation may be an option. This sedation technique ensures you remain comfortable and calm throughout the procedure.

By the end of your dental implant appointment at Dr. Johnson's, you'll be asking yourself, "Is that a dental chair or a hammock?"
