Fear has no boundaries. It affects all types of people. There is no age, sex, economic or race discrimination. This is the reason the American Dental Association estimates that close to 20% and some industry experts estimate close to 25% of the population avoids going to the dentist.
Is It For You?
If you have a fear of dentists, sensitive teeth, hate needles, have a bad gag reflex or limited time to go to the dentist, Sedation/Sleep Dentistry can help you. Sedation/Sleep Dentistry places you in a cozy state of total relaxation. You will have little or no memory of the experience. And best of all…..NO DISCOMFORT! We won't start your treatment until you are completely comfortable. Ask for sedation to eliminate your anxieties about dental care.
How long will it take?
By taking a pill an hour before your appointment you will already be relaxed when you arrive at our office. You must be accompanied to and from the appointment by a friend or loved one. Depending on your individual needs, you will be relaxed and sedated for a short or long visit. This may allow treatment requiring six or eight visits to be accomplished in as little as one.
Is it worth it?
Sedation/Sleep Dentistry is a very safe and effective way to provide complex dental care with the greatest degree of comfort to adult patients who have anxieties and fears about their dental care.
