What is a Dental Block and How is it Used at Morpheus Medical Aesthetics?
At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics, we are committed to providing a comfortable and effective experience for all our clients, especially when it comes to procedures involving injectable treatments. One of the tools we use to minimize discomfort is the dental block, a local anesthetic technique that numbs specific areas of the face, particularly the lips and mouth, allowing for a virtually pain-free treatment experience.
What is a Dental Block?
A dental block is a localized anesthesia, typically administered via an injection, that temporarily numbs nerves in a targeted area of the face. By blocking nerve signals, the sensation of pain is effectively reduced or eliminated in the area of treatment. Dental blocks are particularly helpful when treating sensitive areas, such as around the lips, which can be more prone to discomfort during injectable treatments like dermal fillers.
How is it Used at Morpheus Medical Aesthetics?
At Morpheus, we strive to enhance the comfort of our clients during treatments. When performing lip augmentation or other dermal filler procedures around the mouth, we offer the option of a dental block to significantly reduce any discomfort. By numbing the area, clients can enjoy a smoother, more pleasant experience without the worry of feeling sensitive pinches or pressure.
The process is quick and simple. The dental block is typically administered a few minutes before the procedure, allowing enough time for the numbing effect to take place. The numbness generally lasts throughout the treatment and wears off gradually afterward, giving clients a pain-free window in which they can receive their desired results with ease.
Why Choose a Dental Block?
While many clients tolerate lip injections well with just a topical numbing cream, some prefer the extra assurance of a dental block for maximum comfort. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals who may be sensitive to pain or those undergoing a more extensive filler procedure. At Morpheus, we tailor each treatment to the client’s comfort level, ensuring that every experience is as enjoyable as possible.
If you’re considering lip fillers or any treatment that could benefit from a dental block, our expert providers are happy to discuss this option with you. Your comfort is our top priority, and we are here to make sure your experience at Morpheus is a pleasant one!
