What is Oral Sedation Dentistry?
We all know how important it is to see a dentist twice a year for exams and professional cleanings. But for many Americans, previous uncomfortable experiences can be a deterrent to receiving this necessary care. Orange County sedation dentist, Dr. Norman Huefner understands this fear and strives to make all dental procedures, both cosmetic and general, comfortable for everyone.
By utilizing sedation dentistry, the staff at Sensational Smiles is able to provide comprehensive oral care for patients who suffer from the anxiety and discomfort that can accompany a visit to the dentist’s office. Offering sedation dentistry is simply another step we take in ensuring your entire visit is pleasant, and your results are satisfying.
How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?
We offer our patients a number of solutions to help curb nervousness. First, we listen closely to your concerns. We know you probably hate going to the dentist, that you’re afraid of being hurt, and you’re embarrassed that you’ve put off your dentistry for such a long time because of these factors. We understand how you feel. We won’t judge you.
After carefully listening to you and discovering your dental needs, Dr. Huefner will decide which method is most suited to your particular needs. At Sensational Smiles we offer one of the safest and most comfortable methods of relaxing or sedating our patients, oral sedation dentistry with pills (we do not use shots or IVs in the arm) and/or nitrous oxide gas.
We offer sedation that allows every patient to feel comfortable and safe while undergoing their dental procedures. Because sedation methods range from very mild to moderately deep sedation we may require that you arrange for a friend or family member to give you a ride to and from your sedation dentistry appointment. We will discuss the various types of sedation and any associated risks with you during your initial consultation.
If you live in Orange County, California and have been avoiding the dentist due to anxiety or fear, please contact the professional and friendly sedation dentistry team at Sensational Smiles to see how we can help alleviate your fears and help you get the dental care you deserve. Remember, we understand your fears and we don’t judge you.- Back to Blog
