If the thought of visiting the dentist fills you with dread, you’re not alone. Many people experience dental anxiety, but avoiding necessary care can lead to serious oral health issues. Fortunately, Smile by Design Dental Group offers a compassionate solution with sedation dentistry. This personalized approach ensures that you can receive dental treatments comfortably and without fear from a top Irvine dentist, Dr. Michael Choi. Whether for a routine appointment or a more involved procedure, our sedation care is designed to help you relax fully and make your dental visits a positive experience.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
At Smile by Design Dental Group, sedation dentistry is our key to enhancing patient comfort without the need for deep unconsciousness. We primarily use oral sedation, a safe and effective method that keeps you relaxed yet responsive throughout your dental procedure. This form of sedation ensures that you stay comfortable, significantly reducing anxiety without the complexities of general anesthesia. It’s an ideal solution for maintaining awareness and communication during treatment, ensuring both safety and ease for your dental experience.
Who Benefits from Sedation Dentistry?
You might consider sedation dentistry if you:
- Have a low pain threshold
- Possess highly sensitive teeth
- Experience an overactive gag reflex
- Are apprehensive about dental noises and sensations, such as the drill
- Find it difficult to sit still in the dentist’s chair
- Often feel anxious about or postpone dental appointments
