At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.

We would like to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful at all due to proper use of local anaesthetics to deeply numb the bone and gum.

We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort.

Pain free Dental Implants

We will also make sure that you are adequately anaesthetised during the treatment so that the entire procedure is carried out in the most safest and pain-free way as possible.
