A dental implant is a great way to replace a missing or decaying tooth, and bring back your beautiful smile. Sometimes people need a dental implant because of an injury or gum disease. A dental implant has its own metal “root” that is surgically implanted into your jaw.
Many people have phobias and fears about having surgery. While it is true that dental implant surgery is invasive, it does not have to be painful if the dentist uses sedation dentistry. In fact, you should only feel pressure, not awful pain during sedation dentistry for dental implants.
Our dentist uses different types of sedation dentistry, including laughing gas (nitrous oxide), oral sedation, painkiller injections and IV sedation. Sometimes a combination of those choices are used. There is no one-size-fits all. Different patients have different needs. Our dentist will take your medical history and note any medications you are currently taking to find the best way to keep you pain-free during your dental implant procedure.
