Relaxation Dentistry
 

 

What is Relaxation Dentistry?
Relaxation Dentisty is the answer for patients who want to experience dental care in a state of complete relaxation; no worries, fears or sense of time passing. Your treatment is performed more comfortably than you may have ever thought possible. Though avoiding the dentist may be a natural response to your phobia, it can be a long-term mistake. Many times, irreversible damage occurs before you even develop a single symptom. However, it is important to remember that you are not alone. There are millions of people who are in the same situation. Relaxation Dentisty will finally free you of your dental phobias. We have successfully helped hundreds of others just like you. Let us help restore your confidence and give you the peace of mind in knowing you've attained oral health.
High anxiety about dental care
Fear of needles
Strong gag reflex
Difficulty getting numb
Traumatic dental experiences in the past
Complex dental issues
Physical limitations such as back or neck pain
TMJ issues that prevent you from holding your mouth open
Hate noises and/or smells associated with dental treatment
Sensitive teeth

How will I feel during my appointment?
Though you are responsive and can communicate for the entire procedure, terms such as 'sleep dentistry' and 'twilight dentistry' have been used to describe how patients feel. You will be in a state of extreme relaxation, but still be able to respond to team members and the Dentist when necessary. Most patients have little to no memory of their appointment and absolutely no sense of time passing by.
How safe is Relaxation Dentisty?
Extremely safe. Our entire team and Dentists have gone through extensive training to ensure the safety of our patients. During your appointment, you are constantly monitored and will have a specially trained team member with you at all times. Prior to your appointment, our Dentists will review your complete medical history, all of your current medications as well as your current medical conditions to design a customized plan that ensures both the safety and effectiveness of your Relaxation Dentistry visit.
What are the advantages of Relaxation Dentistry?
Complete comfort and relation during dental treatment
Little or no memory of your visit
Less post operative discomfort
Fewer visits
How does an Relaxation DentistryAppointment Work?
At your first appointment our team members will gather information on your overall health. We discuss your desires and concerns and answer any questions you may have. If you are able, we will take x-rays and complete a full exam.
To ensure that you will get a good nights rest and wake up relaxed we will dispense or prescribe a sedative the day before your appointment. A responsible person will have to bring you, pick you up and remain with you for 24 hours following your appointment.
The day of your appointment, your companion will bring you to our office. Once seated, you will then be given additional medication to ensure you achieve the ultimate in relaxation.
Before you are dismissed, our team members will go over postoperative instructions with your companion and ask that they stay with you until you have recovered from your medications.
One of our team members will contact you the following day to see how you're feeling and answer any questions you may have.
