Is cosmetic dentistry painful?

Dentist answers

Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and shouldn't cause much discomfort. In cases where you may experience some level of pain, such as gum contouring or placement of dental implants, we use local anesthesia to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible. Patient comfort is a priority at Royal Dental Whittier, and we have options to make your experience as pain-free as possible.
