Do you get shaky just thinking about a dental cleaning? Does the idea of restorative dentistry make you weak in the knees? Does even picking up the phone to schedule a dental appointment make you break out in a cold sweat? Dental phobia or anxiety is a problem for lots of people and it can keep them from getting necessary care. But it isn’t only fear that keeps people out of the dental office. Some folks avoid general dentistry in Plano because of:
- An extra-strong gag reflex
- Difficulty sitting still for long periods
- TMJ disorder causing jaw lock
- Difficulty getting numb
- Special physical or mental needs
Our caring and compassionate doctors are here to help. We are Level 1 conscious sedation and N2O certified to offer a range of anesthetics, sedation, and anesthesia to help you relax and enjoy a completely pain-free visit.
We offer:
- Oral Sedation – This simple and easy solution does not require the use of needles. You will be given a prescription pill to take about an hour before your appointment so you arrive fully relaxed and ready to float away during treatment. Ask for a pillow and blanket for extra comfort. Remember, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
- Nitrous Oxide – More commonly called laughing gas, Nitrous Oxide is our tried and true relaxation method for all ages. Because it is completely reversible with the administration of oxygen, you can return to work or school after your procedure.
- And if you need even deeper sedation, we have partnered with an anesthesiologist for other methods of in-office sedation.
To keep you from walking around drooling with Novocaine-face, we also offer Oraverse, the easy way to reverse numbing and bring your smile back to life.
