Positive dental experiences go beyond quality care. Often, successful dental visits are shaped by patients’ comfort during treatment. A way to ensure this is through dental sedation, which is a convenient option for many patients looking to enhance their next dental visit. Here are some ways this treatment option can help transform your next appointment.
Alleviate Dental Anxiety and Phobia
Regular dental visits are a critical part of maintaining a healthy smile. However, fears of pain, embarrassment over the condition of their smile, and other dental anxieties can prevent patients from making appointments for necessary cleanings and check-ups. For these individuals, dental sedation is an ideal option for helping alleviate the side effects of anxiety during treatment. As sedation can be applied to any dental procedure, nervous patients can enjoy its soothing effects during even basic cleanings.
Shorten Lengthy Procedures
Not every dental experience takes the same amount of time. While some visits can be completed in under an hour, more extensive restorative and cosmetic treatments can take longer. With dental sedation, patients often feel as if their procedure is completed in a much shorter time, allowing them to remain comfortable throughout the treatment.
Condense Multiple Visits
Similar to shortening lengthy treatment times, sedation dentistry allows patients to undergo multiple procedures all in one appointment. Rather than having to take multiple days off work just to complete one treatment, patients are able to visit our Lakewood dental office and receive their entire treatment in one sitting.
Encourage Relaxation
Dental sedation doesn’t just help patients with dental anxiety remain calm. For patients who struggle with sitting still for extended periods of time, sedation can help patients keep relaxed throughout their treatment, allowing our dentists to successfully and safely provide treatment.
Pain Free Dentistry
One of the most significant triggers of dental anxiety and phobia is fear of pain or past painful dental experiences. With sedation dentistry, Dr. Scala is able to help patients relax before gently applying local anesthetic. When combined, our patients at Lakewood Ranch Cosmetic Dentistry are able to undergo dental care in a comfortable, relaxed environment.
At our Lakewood dental practice, providing comfortable care is a key element to healthier, more beautiful smiles. To ensure a positive dental experience, we offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation to our patients.
