Offering Individualized Dental Care For Anxious & Phobic Patients And Patients Who Have A Gagging Problem…
Do you have a “built-in” fear of dentisty? Do you gag or feel like vomiting when the dentist works in your mouth?
These issues are very common but can be managed very successfully under intravenous sedation
Be Proud Of Your Smile
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, normally erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. They are the last teeth to erupt with often no room left to accommodate their size into the already crowded jaw.
Dental Implants
A dental implant utilizes a titanium screw instead of a natural tooth root surgically placed into the jawbone for fitting onto crowns, bridges, and dentures. This solution is useful for replacing one or many teeth.
Bone Graft
Bone grafts involve the use of a grafting material which may either be patient-derived, animal derived or synthetic. Such materials assist the body in regenerating bone where it has been destroyed.
Tongue Tied
Tongue tie is a condition where the front of the tongue is tied down to the gum behind the lower front teeth. This tight tissue is referred to as the lingual frenum. It can restrict the movement of the tongue.
Gum Recession
Gum Recession can take place for a number of reasons like thin bone over the roots of a tooth & Many More. If you think you might be having issues with your gums, please see this article for more information.
Intravenous Sedation
Conscious sedation can be provided in three forms: oral sedation, inhalation sedation and intravenous sedation. Oral sedation involves the ingestion of sedative tablets before the dental appointment.
