Sedation Dentistry

Did you have a bad experience as a child?  Scared of the dentist?  You are not alone.  Nearly about 1/3 of Americans have anxiety towards going to the dentist.  This can prolong basic and easy procedures leading to more complicated treatment.  We strive for anxiety-free dentistry through several ways.

• Our office staff places emphasis on making your visit comfortable. 
  
• Nitrous oxide is available in our office.  It is the easiest and safest way to calm your fears.  A majority of dental fears are calmed by this simple method.
• Another method is oral conscious sedation.  It's safer than general anesthesia or being completely knocked out.  Medication is prescribed the night before to get a good sleep.  You also take medication prior to coming into the office.  When you arrive we assess your alertness, place you on vital monitors, and let the medication take effect.  During the procedure you rest and are unaware of the noises, yet you respond to our commands and are safely monitored.  The best part is that you forget you were ever at the dentist office. 
  

We attempt to complete all your work in one visit, so you do not have to come back again.  Now coming to the dentist office is easy.
