Nervous about implant treatment? Learn how freezing and sedation options work so you can feel more at ease in the chair.
Feeling nervous about implant treatment is common, and it should not stop you from getting care. Here is how comfort is approached.
Local freezing
Most implant treatment begins with local freezing, which numbs the area being treated. Your dentist will check you are comfortable before starting.
Sedation options
If freezing alone feels like too little, sedation can help you relax. Options include IV sedation, which your dentist can explain along with who it suits and what to plan for on the day.
Talking it through beforehand
- Tell us what worries you most.
- Ask what you will feel and hear.
- Ask about arranging a ride home and aftercare.
- Agree on a signal so you can pause at any time.
