For many people, the thought of dental treatment causes extreme anxiety, and even total avoidance of care, to the detriment of their appearance, their health, and their comfort. Such feelings and emotions often originate from traumatic past experiences in childhood, and this becomes a learned event, bringing up feelings of fear and anxiety whenever any of the unpleasant parts of the past experience are encountered in the present. Thus, everything from smells, sights, sounds, or thoughts of the dental setting can cause extreme levels of fear and anxiety to surface. Indeed, many people don't even remember a single past event in their lives to explain these feelings, because such learned fears may be vicarious experiences from parents or siblings, friends, or even the media, such as films, cartoons, or advertisements.

Oral conscious sedation will put you at ease so you experience little to no discomfort; however, we may also administer a local anesthetic to ensure that you don't experience any pain. At this point in the procedure you'll be so relaxed that you'll hardly even notice. Whether you're anxious about going to the dentist or just too busy for multiple visits, sedation dentistry can be a great solution to getting ALL your dental work done during one visit…comfortably and stress-free. We believe in an in-depth approach to the management of dental-related fears and associated anxieties. Our protocols and techniques not only allow patients to become at ease and achieve comfort during procedures, but also to gain mastery over their past feelings of apprehension. A smile you have dreamed about and the dental health you know you need, become possible.
