Stop Hiding Your Smile

The holidays are right around the corner and will be here before you know it, and thanks to your restorative dentist, you don’t have to hide your smile.

Schedule an appointment for cosmetic dentistry today and you can have a stunning toothy grin that you will be happy to show off at during the festive season.

Not everyone has a perfect smile. In fact, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the majority of people in the United States cover their mouth when they talk, but thanks to the wonders of modern 21st century dentistry, you can fix that gap between your front teeth, brighten your dull smile, or fix that vampire fang that is the result of a chipped tooth.

Traditional dentistry is more focused on prevention, diagnosis, oral hygiene, and treating oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Cosmetic dentistry will improve the look of your mouth, teeth, and most importantly, your smile.

Sleep your way through the Appointment with Sedation Sleep Dentistry

If the word dentist brings back painful memories, schedule an appointment with a dentist for Sedation Sleep Dentistry.

Web MD explains that Sedation Sleep Dentistry can help people who experience a true fear of the dentist, and people who have sensitive teeth. If you have had traumatic dental experiences in the past, Sedation Sleep Dentistry could be the perfect solution. Other people who may benefit from Sedation Sleep Dentistry include those who have a hard time getting numb and others who have complex dental issues.

If the thought of a needle or shot makes your skin crawl or you have a limited amount of time when it comes to dental care, you may also benefit from Sedation Sleep Dentistry. Call your dentist today and schedule Sedation Sleep Dentistry if you cannot stand the taste, smell, or noise of the dentist office, or if you are embarrassed about your teeth and gums.

There are three types of Sedation Sleep Dentistry. Light Sedation, Moderate Sedation, and Heavy Sedation.

Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas, is used for Light Sedation. Your dentist will place a small mask over your nose so that you can inhale the gas and oxygen mixture. Nitrous Oxide wears off quickly and is extremely safe. So much so that you can drive yourself home after your dental appointment. Your dentist can also control your level of Light Sedation with Nitrous Oxide.  

During Moderate Sedation, your dentist will prescribe you pills in order to relax you. Benzodiazepines are from the Valium family and can cause drowsiness. Some patients may even fall asleep while sitting in the dentist’s chair. Most patients have very little if any memory of the dental appointment. The Moderate Sedation pills work as a sort of mild anesthetic for pain control.

Deep Sedation is administered through an IV directly into your blood stream. This type of Sedation Sleep Dentistry can be used to sedate patients so that they are completely unaware of the procedure. Only a handful of California dentists are qualified to provide you with Deep Sedation allowing your dentist to control the amount and level of sedation required. After you come out of deep sedation, you will have no memory of the dental treatment. Deep Sedation is excellent for long dental appointments and to aid in pain control.

If you would like more information regarding Sedation Sleep Dentistry, schedule an appointment with your dentist who will be able to determine the best type of sedation for your needs.
