Do you suffer from dental anxiety? Do you need a lot of dental work but do not want to take off a lot of time from work? Dr. Luffey can help! Dr. Luffey is trained to provide safe, comfortable, and relaxing sedation dentistry. Under conscious sedation, our patients commonly have little or no recollection of the treatment they receive. As a result, we can provide an array of services that can restore health and beauty to your mouth. What is Sedation Dentistry? Oral sedation dentistry is now the most common technique used in the United States to quell patient fears. The technique is easy and requires no needles. Best of all, the medications create such a comfortable experience that most patients do not remember the visit; it is as if they slept through the treatment. In reality, oral sedation dentistry maintains a level of consciousness in the patient for safety and cooperation. Note that most dental treatments still require a local anesthetic injected in the mouth, even when sedation dentistry techniques are performed. Sedation dentistry can be used for dental anxiety but can also be used for patients who wish to avoid significant times away from work. Because we can make you comfortable, it is possible to have multiple visits and hours of appointments condensed into one visit! This is NOT IV sedation and provides a completely comfortable experience in the dental chair. Extremely low dose oral medications provide for a relaxing night's sleep before your appointment and for a relaxing dental experience. An added benefit is a bit of amnesia about your appointment when you go to bed that night. |
