Are anaesthetics provided during implants and how much does implant cost

Q. Hi there. I have had the biggest fear of the dentist since I can remember and I am now 20 and still haven’t gotten over this fear. I’ve been to a number of dentists, one who tried giving me sedatives which didn’t work for me at all as I am so nervous about the dentist. I have recently been having hypnotherapy for the dentist however I still get ever so anxious about the dentist and it makes me feel ill. I have always been told that I’ll need implants as I never had enough teeth. However I feel I require implants sooner than I’d like. I have a hole in one of my front teeth and this makes me so self conscious that I can’t smile. This is currently ruining my life as I have no self confidence because of this. I’d like to be able to smile and not worry about the way I look. How are the implants placed? Is this under anesthetic? Also roughly how much would it cost to replace the front big tooth? Thank you ever so much for your help.

A. I’m sorry to hear of your problems. Implants are normally placed with just local anaesthetic but intra-venous sedation works well to make patients less anxious during the proceedure. The cost for a single front tooth and sedation will be in the region of £2200 at my clinic in Essex.
