Many new patients come to me expressing great fear and hesitation because of dental phobia. Like these patients, you may be suffering with the same fears. You should know that you are not alone, and this is a fairly common issue for many people. However, this fear can result in neglected oral care and long-term problems that become difficult and costly to repair if left untreated. But rest assured that there are many options available through Sedation Dentistry. When you come in for a consultation, my first goal will be to alleviate your fear by discussing advancements in modern sedation dentistry and how they have improved the experience for patients like yourself who suffer from dental phobia.

Sedation Dentistry refers to the practice of administering one of any number of sedatives that will reduce pain and fear and enable you to become quite relaxed. It is important to remember that these treatments will only be administered after we’ve discussed your specific dental fears and you feel comfortable enough with me and your surroundings to trust that your fears are being addressed compassionately. Through the use of Sedation Dentistry, your visits to Provo Dentist Office can be swift and anxiety-free from start to finish.

At Provo Dental we will match your needs with the correct treatment or combination of treatments, and you will be fully informed about each type of sedation treatment. An important thing to keep in mind is that everyone reacts differently to different types of sedation. There are many factors to take into account when choosing your best sedation option, including your physical structure and mental mindset. Specific sedation options are discussed in detail in our Sedation Dentistry Information Packet. Some of these treatments include:

•    Inhalation Sedation
•    Oral Sedation
•    IV (Intravenous) Sedation
•    General Anesthesia (GA)

A controlled and regulated approach to your chosen level of sedation allows me to monitor your comfort throughout the duration of your treatment and ensure that your post-procedure experience leaves you feeling refreshed and renewed. With Sedation Dentistry at Provo Cosmetic Dentist, you can now achieve the beautiful smile that you have always wanted without fear, stress or anxiety.
