Can I choose to have an anaesthetic for every part of the treatment?

A local anaesthetic is offered as standard for periodontal and implant treatments. This means you will feel no pain during the procedure. For some simple procedures an anaesthetic is not necessary. If you are anxious, you can discuss this with your practitioner. There are then options for extra support, such as light sedation. For extensive procedures or complex situations, sedation may be considered. In rare cases, general anaesthesia is possible at a clinic or hospital. The dentist assesses whether anaesthesia is medically appropriate. You are always fully informed in advance about the choice of anaesthetic. Your comfort and safety come first.
