Sedation Dentistry, Pain-Free Dental Care

For many Americans, going to the dentist is still a terrifying prospect. Although modern advancements in dental care make a visit to the dentist comfortable, relaxing, and even fun, nearly 150 million people still avoid the dentist purely out of fear.

We have always been very sensitive to our patients with high fear and apprehension. Now we can offer them a safe and even more comfortable experience. Too many good people avoid getting needed care, due to fear. We look forward to helping these people take proper care of their teeth, using this safe and wonderful technique of anxiety-free dentistry. With a small pill, people can now have their dental care accomplished while they are relaxed and comfortable. We can do years of dental treatment in one or two visits. We can replace dental crowns or dentures, whiten teeth, fix a chipped tooth, and more. People with very busy schedules can get the dental care they need, easily and quickly.

Candidates for Sedation Dentistry are those people with:

• High fear – dental phobias
• Traumatic dental experience
• Difficulty getting numb
• A bad gag reflex
• Very sensitive teeth
• Complex dental problems
• Fear of needles
• Dislike for noises, smells and tastes associated with dental care
• Embarrassment about their teeth
