Procedure only took 1/2 hour. Was talked through what was happening.
There was some pain and discomfort but I had elected to have the gas/air rather than sedation but I could have had the sedation if I could not tolerate the pain at any time.
Was looked after very well and would recommend the whole team that looked after me.
