Individuals having cosmetic dentistry treatments can often be afraid of the pain it can cause, but this does not have to be the case, one dental professional has argued.

Dr Craig Heunergardt, founder of North County Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, noted patients should not be worried about getting cosmetic dentistry procedures, as they can often be painless.

In order to ensure his patients are fully comfortable, Dr Heunergardt has begun offering free nitrous oxide and oral triaxolam to anyone having a procedure.

"I did this because I don’t want cost to be a barrier between comfort and getting dental work done," he commented.

Meanwhile, Dr Kailesh Solanki, of Kiss Dental, recently told Cosmetic Dentistry Guide that the number of people looking to have cosmetic dentistry in Manchester has increased significantly in the last few months.

He noted the number of Brits looking to have teeth whitening, invisalign braces and dental implants have all risen.
