While it's true that many people avoid going to the dentist or their periodontist because they experienced traumatic care as a child, today's dental procedures -- and the experienced care of our staff -- can make your visit much more enjoyable.
We don't want patients to stay away from our office, especially if they are experiencing warning signs of dental issues -- like pain in the mouth, bleeding gums or pain while eating.
At our office we understand these feelings and want to help. Whether you just need a routine cleaning or a brand-new smile, we offer sedation dentistry to make your experience comfortable and relaxing.
Sedation Dentistry is a Path Free from Fear!
Sedation dentistry is used by many dentists to provide a relaxing, calming experience for patients who are afraid of going to the dentist and/or having dental procedures performed.
There are many forms of sedation that can be administered in a variety of ways offering us the flexibility of three levels of sedation – minimal, moderate, and deep – depending on the level of anxiety the patient experiences.
Oral Sedation
Our office in Stuart, Florida offers oral sedation dentistry for our patients. Oral sedation dentistry allows us to relieve anxiety without the use of needles or intravenous tubes. Additionally, patients who traditionally have trouble getting numb have no problem when sedated and relaxed.
About an hour prior to the appointment, the patient will be asked to take a small pill that will make he/she drowsy. By the time a companion accompanies the patient to our office for the appointment, the patient will be feeling relaxed and calm.
We will escort him/her to a comfortable room and cover him/her with a warm, thick blanket.
Once the patient is comfortable and completely relaxed, the doctor and experienced clinical team will complete the dental procedure.
During the entire procedure, the patient’s vital signs will be monitored to ensure their health and safety. After the treatment is completed, the companion will take the patient home to rest and sleep for a couple of hours after the appointment.
