Sedation Dentistry
If you experience dental anxiety, you're not alone. Many of our patients were fearful of going to the dentist before they visited our practice. After showing them how comfortable sedation dentistry can be, we eliminated their fears and helped them achieve their smile goals.
A member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS), Dr. Milfred understands your fear. With sedation dentistry, he will calm your anxiety so that you can have a peaceful dental experience. You'll take an oral sedative prior to your appointment. Dr. Milfred may administer nitrous oxide to enhance the sedative effects. After you enter a state of deep relaxation, we will attend to your dental procedures. While you're in our care, we'll conscientiously monitor your vital signs and comfort level. As the sedative wears off, you'll have little or no memory of your visit. For your safety, you will want to be sure to have friend or family member drive you to and from your sedation dentistry appointment.
In addition to oral conscious sedation, we also offer computer-aided anesthesia delivery, as well as nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
