Houston’s Best Dentists at The Comprehensive Dental Group of Houston have been practicing Sedation Dentistry for years
For many in Houston, the memory of a painful dental experience prevents them from maintaining their dental health. Their anxiety level can escalate at the simple thought of calling to schedule a dental appointment. Patients who suffer from this level of fear can benefit from dental procedures performed at the Comprehensive Dental Group of Houston in a Sedation Dentistry setting.
Imagine being able to accomplish all your dental care in as little as one appointment. Typically, you will arrive one hour prior to your dental appointment and take a small sedative pill. You are made comfortable and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs. When you reach the proper level of relaxation your dental treatment will begin. When treatment is completed, your driver takes you home to continue sleeping. In most cases you will remember very little about the visit. This form of dentistry is know as Sleep Dentistry or Sedation Dentistry and it is based off of Oral Conscious Sedation
If your apprehension level is greater than what can be controlled with oral medication, the Comprehensive Dental Group of Houston works with several Board Certified Anesthesiologists to provide IV sedation for our patients. Deep Sedation or General Anesthesia performed by a licensed Anesthesiologist will allow even the most apprehensive patient to complete their dental treatment.
The ideal candidate for this type of dental appointment is an individual who experiences a high fear of dental treatment, has had a prior traumatic dental experience, has had difficulty swallowing or getting numb, has a fear of injections, needles, noises, smells or tastes associated with dentistry, has complex, extensive dental needs and/or limited time to complete dental treatment, or feels embarrassed about their teeth but cannot improve their appearance or address their dental health due to fear and anxiety. If you’ve been putting off years of dental work, Sedation Dentistry or Sleep Dentistry may change your life. Sedation dentistry has been used safely and successfully for many years with millions of dental procedures. Call today to have Sleep Dentistry performed by the best Houston Cosmetic Dentist.
