Fear of the dentist is common among men and women of all ages. In some cases, patients actively put off or avoid necessary dental work due to worry or anxiety. Without prompt treatment, a minor dental issue could easily develop into a more complicated and costly problem. To help our patients at Sutra Dental Spa feel at ease while getting the care they need, we offer a popular sedation dentistry technique that can make them feel extremely relaxed during treatment.
The sedation technique used by our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Jimmy Wu, is called oral conscious sedation. Using a small pill taken about one hour before your procedure, you can enter a deep state of relaxation while still retaining your ability to communicate clearly with our dentist. Oral conscious sedation does not require the use of needles and helps many patients experience a virtually painless procedure. With the help of oral conscious sedation, patients are able to overcome their dental phobia, receive the care they need, and sometimes even reduce the total number of office visits required to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Some patients feel so relaxed while under the effects of oral conscious sedation that they do not even remember the details of their procedure after it is complete. To learn how sedation dentistry can help you feel more comfortable at the dentist’s office, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Wu, please contact us for more information.
