Sedation Dentistry
|
|
Most people can manage dental treatment
with little more than some slight anxiety. For some people
however, going to the dentist is a lot more difficult. If
you have ever avoided getting much needed dental care out
of fear or anxiety, or if the thought of going to the dentist
makes you anxious or nervous, then sedation dentistry could
be for you. Sedation dentistry, sometimes called sleep dentistry,
is a method of using sedatives to calm a patient and reduce
his or her awareness during an oral procedure. Using sedation
dentistry, we are able to perform restorative dentistry,
as well as dental implant placement surgeries, while patients
rest in a deeply relaxed state. We offer both nitrous oxide
and conscious sedation for the comfort of all patients.

Sedation Dentistry Candidates
People who suffer from dental anxiety, individuals who would
rather not remember their oral surgery, and people who have
difficulty sitting still for prolonged periods are good
candidates for sedation dentistry. |
