What is a Dental Block?
A dental block involves administering small injections inside your mouth to achieve complete numbness. This technique ensures that you can undergo lip filler treatments without any discomfort. The numbness is temporary, allowing you to enjoy a pain-free procedure while still being able to resume your normal activities shortly after.
How Much Does a Dental Block Cost?
Pricing for a dental block at Faces By Bae is £20. This cost is in addition to the lip filler treatment and reflects our commitment to providing an accessible and effective pain management solution for our clients.
How Long Does the Numbness Last?
The numbness from a dental block typically lasts for a short period, sufficient to cover the duration of your lip filler procedure. You can expect the sensation to return to normal 2-4 hours post-procedure.
What is the Downtime for a Dental Block?
One of the significant advantages of a dental block is the minimal downtime involved. You can resume your regular activities almost immediately after the procedure. Any minor effects, such as slight swelling or bruising, generally subside over the coming days. The numbness will stay present for around 1-2 hours post-procedure, gradually fading.Â
How Long Does Each Dental Block Procedure Take?
The administration of a dental block is quick and efficient, usually taking only about 2 minutes. This makes it an ideal option for those looking to minimise discomfort during their lip filler treatments without adding significant time to their appointment.
What is the Pain Threshold for a Dental Block?
Discomfort during the administration of a dental block is generally minimal. Most clients find the brief injections inside the mouth to be well worth the subsequent pain-free experience during their lip filler treatment.

Are There Limitations to a Dental Block?
