“Once you've experienced sedation
dentistry with Dr Pham, you'll never be afraid to go to the dentist
again.” |
|
·
If you've been hiding your
smile, putting up with pain, or putting off going to the dentist
because you're too busy,
|
|
your life is about to
change! New and safe sedation techniques mean you can have dental
treatment done quickly, |
|
with little or no
discomfort. |
|
|
|
·
Your have 3 options for
sedation: (will vary depending on individual needs) |
|
·
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
("Laughing Gas")-is the lightest sedation you can have, where |
|
it induces an anxiolytic
feeling (relaxing state). |
|
·
Oral Sedation
-is the mid-level sedation where you take a pill and you will feel
relaxed for 4-6 hours,
|
|
and may have little memory
of the dental procedure. You will be sedated just enough to be
unaware |
|
of the treatment, as if you
were relaxing. You will wake up refreshed, with little of what
was accomplished. |
|
You will need a companion
to take you to the office as you relax and return you home to finish
your relaxing day. |
|
·
Intravenous Sedation (I.V.
Sedation)-the is the deepest sedation we will provide in an
office setting, |
|
and will be
administered by a Board
Certified Anesthesiologist. You will have no memory of
the dental |
|
procedure and leaving
the dental office as if nothing has ever happened. You will need
a companion to take |
|
you to the office and
return you home with no recollection of the procedure performed. |
|
|

·
Oral Sedation and I.V.
Sedation will allow Dr. Pham to help you get years of dental
treatments in one or two visits because |
|
you feel completely
comfortable. We can replace crowns or dentures, restore sore
gums to good health, whiten yellow or |
|
stained teeth, fix a
chipped/broken tooth, and more. People with very busy schedules
can get the dental care they need, |
|
easily and quickly. |

Imagine being able to smile
with confidence and chew your food without pain. No wonder so many
patients say: |
|
·
"Sedation dentistry changed
my life." |
