I am saying this because I have 2 missing teeth that I want to replace with implants. I think that I also need orthodontics because my teeth are shifting badly. The teeth have been missing for 4 years. I still go to the dentist for cleanings (and I am nervous during that) but getting the thought work done like the implants and orthodontics is making me nauseous. My dentist is not sympathetic or patient with my questions. He keeps telling me that I will be fine, but that\u2019s not helpful. I am frustrated. Typically, how painful is the work that I need to be done? \u2013 Lance from Harrisburg, PA<\/p>\n<p>Lance \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for contacting our office with your question.<\/p>\n<h2>Painless Dental Care<\/h2>\n<p>The dental treatment you need can be painless\u2014especially if you see a gentle dentist who cares about your anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>A gentle dentist has methods to ensure that any injections you might need are painless. And the dentist will help you relax during your appointment. Your phobia won&#8217;t be an issue, and you will have a productive dental appointment. This will help the dentist complete as much work as possible in one appointment.<\/p>\n<p>You will benefit by finding two or three dentists who offer sedation. Request a consultation with each of them. Explain your dental phobia, ask questions about the treatment you need, and take notes. Your interaction with the dentists will help you decide whom you are most comfortable with for your dental care.<\/p>\n<p>You are interested in dental implants, so for best results, look for a dentist with <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-dental-implants.html\">advanced implant<\/a> and cosmetic dentistry training. It will ensure that you get high-quality implants that look natural.<\/p>\n<h2>Comfortable Recovery<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1812\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1812\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1812\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/dental-anxiety-implants.jpg\" alt=\"Diagram of three phases of dental implants for info about dental anxiety and implants\" width=\"450\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/dental-anxiety-implants.jpg 450w, https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/dental-anxiety-implants-300x259.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1812\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can get dental implants despite your dental phobia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can expect discomfort after dental implant surgery, but your dentist or oral surgeon will explain how to manage it.
