Understanding Common Misconceptions
The most common misconception about dental implants is that the procedure is extremely painful, but the reality is that most patients report only minor discomfort after their implant placement.
The discomfort you’ll feel is similar to having a tooth extracted, which can be controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers. Here’s why dental implants aren’t as scary and painful as you might think:
- Anesthesia — We use a local anesthetic to completely numb your mouth and prevent pain during your procedure.
- Technology — With state-of-the-art 3-D digital imaging technology, we can precisely plan your implant placement, streamlining the process and shortening the length of your appointment.
- Sedation — If you’re anxious about your procedure, we offer nitrous oxide to keep you calm and relaxed. Before you know it, your treatment will be over!
Keeping You Comfortable in Eagan
Before we surgically place your dental implants, we’ll use local anesthesia to numb your mouth so you won’t feel any pain. We do this by injecting a solution into the area of your mouth we’ll be working on; this solution blocks the nerve signals to your brain.
You’ll be awake during your appointment but won’t feel anything. Your mouth will be numb for several hours, giving us plenty of time to place your dental implants and keeping you comfortable after your appointment. If you experience discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, we recommend using ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication.
