Painless Dental Injections

An ideal option for needle-phobic patients

We know that many patients do not like dental injections due to previous experience of being given painful dental injections too quickly. Administering local anaesthetic too quickly is very painful for patients. That is why we use Computer Controlled Local Anaesthetic Delivery (CCLAD) systems to deliver our local anaesthetic painlessly to our patients. We use the latest LA delivery computer technology, the Septodont Dentapen system, which delivers local anaesthetic very gently and painlessly.

Why choose painless dental injections?

Reduced anxiety – painless injections can significantly ease dental anxiety, making visiting the dentist a less stressful experience for everyone.

Increased comfort – painless techniques minimise discomfort, allowing you to relax and focus on the procedure itself.

Improved patient experience – a more comfortable experience can lead to better dental hygiene habits and a greater willingness to return for regular checkups.

More effective treatment – when patients are relaxed and comfortable, dentists can work more efficiently and effectively, leading to better outcomes.

Faster recovery – minimising pain during the injection can contribute to a faster and more comfortable recovery after your dental procedure.

Suitable for all ages – painless injections are a great option for people of all ages, especially children or individuals with a heightened sensitivity to pain.

How do painless dental injections work?

Local anaesthetic solutions are normally kept at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) which is usually much colder than body temperature (37 degrees Celsius). As a result, when the local anaesthetic is administered, there is usually a stinging pain felt by patients due to the cold temperature of the solution relative to body temperature.

At Pearl Dental Clinic, we warm up our local anaesthetic solution to body temperature using a special machine that maintains the same temperature. As a result, our patients usually comment that they did not feel any pain when the body temperature local anaesthetic is administered using our computer controlled local anaesthetic delivery system. Finally, to produce truly painless dental injections, we use topical anaesthetic gel to numb the soft tissue area up before we administer local anaesthetic to our patients.
