Painless dental treatment
Through painless dental treatment, we ensure maximum comfort for our Patients during every procedure. In our daily practice, we use the modern, safe and pain-free Dentapen anaesthesia system (watch the Dentapen video here), as well as highly effective anaesthetic gels and preparations that keep our Patients feeling comfortable throughout their visit.
In addition, what helps us eliminate all the typical problems associated with traditional anaesthesia are top-quality anaesthetic solutions and modern methods of local anaesthetic delivery — including the highly effective computer-controlled Dentapen system from the renowned manufacturer Septodont.
The solutions used in our practice provide comfortable anaesthesia for patients of all ages, and their effectiveness and fast onset of action often exceed expectations.
During treatments, we use a computer-assisted system in which a microprocessor precisely adjusts the dosage of the anaesthetic agent to each Patient individually (pressure, volume, speed). The method of administration also enhances comfort by preventing numbness of the tongue and lips. Procedures performed with this system and our advanced anaesthetic preparations are painless and allow for immediate anaesthesia of 1 to 6 teeth.
We provide all our Patients with personalised care both after treatment and throughout the healing process.
Our experience, combined with modern anaesthesia systems, makes it possible to carry out all stages of treatment painlessly — even for individuals with a very low pain threshold.
What does painless dental treatment involve?
Painless dental treatment involves performing procedures in a way that prevents the patient from feeling pain or the uncomfortable pressure often associated with traditional anaesthesia.
This is achieved using specialised computer-controlled systems, such as Dentapen, which precisely regulate the amount and speed of the anaesthetic being delivered. As a result, the anaesthesia works quickly, does not cause numbness of the lips or tongue, and allows the procedure to be carried out comfortably — even for patients who are particularly sensitive to pain.
How does the Dentapen computer-controlled anaesthesia system work?
Dentapen is a modern device that delivers the anaesthetic in a microprocessor-controlled manner. This allows for very precise adjustment of the pressure and delivery speed, eliminating the unpleasant feeling of pressure typical of traditional injections. The anaesthesia works quickly, is highly effective, and does not cause excessive numbness of the lips or tongue. As a result, the patient feels only minimal discomfort at the moment of insertion, while the entire procedure is carried out without pain and in complete comfort.
Is computer-controlled anaesthesia safe for children and adults?
Yes, computer-controlled anaesthesia is completely safe for both children and adults. Thanks to the microprocessor’s precise control of the dosage, the body receives only the amount of anaesthetic that is truly necessary. The administration is gentle, virtually painless, and well tolerated even by young patients or individuals who are particularly sensitive to pain. This solution allows both simple and more complex dental procedures to be performed without stress.
What makes Dentapen different from traditional dental anaesthesia?
Dentapen is a computer-controlled anaesthesia system that works differently from a traditional syringe. The device’s microprocessor regulates the pressure and delivery speed of the anaesthetic, ensuring a smooth and almost imperceptible application. As a result, the patient does not feel pain or pressure, and unpleasant numbness of the lips or tongue is avoided. Compared to the traditional method, Dentapen provides greater comfort and allows for fast, precise anaesthesia of exactly the teeth that require treatment.
Do you experience numbness of the tongue and lips during painless dental treatment?
No, during painless dental treatment using the Dentapen computer-controlled system, there is no typical, bothersome numbness of the tongue and lips. The anaesthetic is delivered very precisely only to the area that requires treatment, allowing the patient to remain fully comfortable and able to speak or swallow normally. This is a major advantage compared to traditional anaesthesia.
How long does computer-controlled anaesthesia last during a dental procedure?
The duration of computer-controlled anaesthesia depends on the type of procedure and the anaesthetic used, but it typically lasts from several dozen minutes to even a few hours. Thanks to precise dosing, Dentapen ensures full patient comfort throughout the entire treatment, without a sudden loss of effect. Importantly, once the procedure is finished, the anaesthesia wears off gradually, and the patient does not experience prolonged numbness of the lips or tongue.
Is painless dental treatment effective for people with a low pain threshold?
Yes. With computer-controlled anaesthesia (e.g., Dentapen), the microprocessor administers the anaesthetic very slowly and under constant low pressure, eliminating the feeling of pressure — the main cause of discomfort. The anaesthesia works quickly and targets only the treatment area, so even highly sensitive patients usually undergo the procedure calmly and without pain. If needed, the effect can be enhanced with a numbing gel, anaesthetic buffering or additional methods (such as nitrous oxide). If you have allergies, general health conditions or have previously experienced difficulties with anaesthesia, inform your dentist — they will choose the safest preparation and dosage.
How many teeth can be anaesthetised at once with the Dentapen system?
Most often, 1 to 6 teeth can be anaesthetised at the same time — quickly and very precisely within the treatment area. For more extensive procedures, the dentist may combine Dentapen with another technique (e.g., nerve block anaesthesia) to comfortably cover an entire quadrant. It all depends on the treatment plan and the patient’s anatomy.
Is additional care needed after painless dental treatment?
Yes — a short and sensible “aftercare” routine supports healing, although with Dentapen most patients return to normal activities quickly. The key recommendations include:
-
Do not eat or drink hot beverages until the anaesthesia has worn off (to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue).
-
Avoid hard and sticky foods on the treated side for 24 hours.
-
Take any prescribed medications exactly as instructed; for mild discomfort, a standard pain reliever is usually sufficient (avoid aspirin after extractions).
-
Gentle oral hygiene: brush your teeth with a soft toothbrush, avoiding the fresh treatment area for the first day; use only mouth rinses recommended by your dentist.
-
A cold compress (10–15 minutes) on the outside of the cheek may help reduce swelling after more invasive procedures.
-
Avoid alcohol and intense physical activity on the day of the procedure.
Contact us if you experience: increasing pain despite medication, prolonged bleeding, fever, significant swelling, rash, or numbness lasting longer than a few hours.
In our clinic, you will receive personalised post-treatment instructions and quick access to support whenever needed.
Why is it worth choosing modern computer-controlled anaesthesia in dentistry?
Briefly: for greater comfort, precision and predictability. Systems like Dentapen control the pressure and delivery speed of the anaesthetic using a microprocessor, so the anaesthesia works quickly, without the “pressure pain” typical of traditional injections, and usually without bothersome numbness of the lips or tongue.
The key benefits include:
-
Minimal discomfort during administration – smooth, controlled delivery instead of a sudden injection.
-
Fast, accurate effect – only the necessary area is anaesthetised (from 1 to 6 teeth).
-
Reduced soft-tissue numbness – easier speaking, swallowing and returning to daily activities.
-
Better tolerance for sensitive patients and children – less stress and better cooperation.
-
Stable anaesthesia throughout the procedure – no “wearing off” halfway through.
-
Dose safety – precise, individually adjusted amount of anaesthetic.
If you have a low pain threshold, needle anxiety or previous negative experiences with anaesthesia, computer-controlled delivery usually makes a noticeable difference from the very first visit.
