Relaxing optimal care

So we have plenty of patients who are afraid of the dentist, afraid of the dental office, afraid to even present for a visit, for a consultation. Some patients just shaking in the chair before we even walk in the room just from having prior poor experiences as children or any time in the past and you know when you have a bad experience in the dental chair it's really hard to get over that and it often prevents patients from seeking care, the care that they need. In our office you know we always start out with a consultation visit so we have the time and the space for the patient to express their concerns, to express what they want and what they need and how we can get them there. 

So you know we do take the time at that consultation visit to really discuss with them what their options are and how we can help get them through the treatment that they need. I always let the patient know they can raise their hand at any time if they're feeling something they don't want to feel or if they just need a break they can raise their hand so they have full control over stopping the procedure anytime as long as it's safe to do so. I think that puts a lot of power into the patient's hands that they often didn't have in prior experiences and that allows them to feel a little more comfortable having that control. 

We also you know allow them to play some music or a video to help get their mind off of things and I think the environment is definitely more comfortable than what they expect.

Take Advantage of Sedation

IV sedation offers a comfortable solution for patients who want to sleep through their oral surgery procedure. Your doctor will carefully administer medication through a small IV, helping you reach a deep state of relaxation while maintaining your body's natural protective reflexes. Most patients remember nothing about their treatment.

Our experienced team monitors your vital signs throughout the entire procedure, ensuring your complete safety and comfort. Many patients tell us that IV sedation made their surgery feel like it took just minutes, even though they were in the chair much longer. You'll wake feeling refreshed, with no memory of the sounds or sensations of your procedure.
