Restore Your Smile Painlessly with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can change your life dramatically. The more teeth you lose, the greater the impact on your smile, oral health, and functionality. The good news is that you don’t have to live with missing teeth permanently. You can replace lost teeth with implants and restore your quality of life. Are dental implants painful? No, the surgery is performed under anesthesia, so you feel no pain during the procedure. If you live in Walnut Creek, California, or a nearby community, you can contact the Mark A. Wong, DDS Family Dentistry team to learn more about implant treatment.

Sedation for Dental Implants

Getting implants is more complicated than removable dentures, but the results are also more enduring. Although implants require surgery, Dr. Wong takes excellent care to ensure you have a safe, painless procedure. Before scheduling implant treatment, we’ll review the different aspects of the process with you and explain the use of sedation or anesthesia so you feel comfortable with your decision. 

Depending on your treatment, here’s what you can expect in terms of sedation and anesthesia:

• Local anesthetic – For single implants, a local anesthetic should suffice to keep you comfortable while the implants are being placed. As this anesthetic wears off fairly quickly, you can drive home after your procedure.
• Conscious sedation – Conscious sedation is yet another option for implant treatment. Conscious sedation helps you relax by making you slightly drowsy. This keeps you from feeling anxious or fearful. Dr. Wong may combine conscious sedation with an anesthetic to give you a pleasant implant experience.
