When thinking about scheduling your next dental appointment, there can often be that little thought in the back of your mind that keeps you from doing it. Whatever that thought may be, it can leave you feeling uneasy, stressed and even anxious.
The dentists at Loudoun Dental Smiles understand your concerns and do everything they can make your trip to the dentist office comfortable and relaxing. To help you through the dental procedure, we may suggest that you use sedation dentistry.
Sedation dentistry combines an oral sedative with nitrous oxide. Although the sedative will allow you to remain conscious during the procedure, you will still feel very drowsy and remember very little about the actual procedure. By using sedation dentistry, we are able to perform several general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry or restorative dentistry procedures within a single visit. This can eliminate the number of trips to the dentist office you have to make, which means more convenient scheduling for you as well.
Sedation dentistry is an ideal choice for patients with:
- Fear and stress about their dental office visit
- A need for several procedures but have a tight schedule
- A sensitive gag reflex
- Unrelated dental pain that makes it difficult to find comfort
- Difficulty numbing with local anesthetic
If you’re still feeling a little uneasy and sedation dentistry doesn’t seem like quite the right fit for you, we also work with board certified anesthesiologists for patients wishing to be completely asleep during their dental procedure. We want to do whatever we can to make our patients comfortable, and if that includes winding down to relax in our personal massage chairs after your visit, then we want you to do just that.
Loudoun Dental Smiles is here to make your dental visits as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. Visit us today!
