No. Like with a filling and most dental procedures, we numb the area with local anesthesia. As the anesthesia wears off, you may feel a little discomfort but nothing that can’t be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications. If you prefer more than a little numbing, we offer a variety of sedation and anesthesia options that are available to all our patients. Your comfort is very important to us, and we will do all we can to ensure you are relaxed and at ease during your visit.
