Since the dental implant procedure involves minor surgery, many individuals are concerned about the level of pain they can expect both during and after treatment. The good news is, the entire dental implant process typically involves very little discomfort for most patients here at Sutra Dental Spa.
Once Dr. Jimmy Wu is ready to place the dental implant, a local anesthetic applied to the area of the missing tooth is often all that is necessary to ensure you feel no pain during the treatment. Our practice also offers oral conscious sedation for patients who suffer from high levels of dental anxiety. This popular sedation dentistry technique will give you a feeling of extreme relaxation during the treatment, and you likely won’t even remember it taking place once it’s finished. Plus, Dr. Wu utilizes advanced 3D Cone Beam imaging technology as part of our guided dental implant surgery procedures. This detailed view of your oral structures allows Dr. Wu to plan your implant surgery and place the implant with incredible precision, which can ultimately reduce the risk of potential complications or an implant that does not fit in the most comfortable and natural way possible.
Every patient responds differently to the treatment and recovery process, so one person’s experience may not be the same as the other’s. However, with advanced techniques combined with the gentle and experienced hand of our dentist, most of our patients do not suffer extensive discomfort with the dental implant procedure.
