Sedation Dentistry
Antioch, California
Imagine walking into the dental office, relaxing comfortably with a warm blanket as you fall in and out of sleep. When you fully awake you find that your dental treatment is complete. Deep relaxation dentistry, using oral medication, routinely provides this experience. Millions of patients have been treated by this safe and effective protocol by Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) members.
Antioch Dentist, Dr. Palano at Diablo Hills Dental Excellence understands that going to the dentist can be a stressful experience for some people. That’s why he offers the option of sedation dentistry. With sedation dentistry, Dr. Palano will use both oral sedation and nitrous oxide to allow you to slip easily into a deeply relaxed and calm state. This will allow you to be much more comfortable during your treatment.
You should consider "deep relaxation dentistry" if:
- Anxiety or fear are keeping you from seeking dental care
- You have not had good dental experiences in the past
- You have difficulty getting numb
- You have a severe gag reflex
- You have a need for complicated dental treatment
- Longer and fewer visits are better for your busy schedule, but long visits are difficult to sit still for.
With sedation dentistry, you can relax through your dental appointment and leave refreshed, with little memory of the experience. Complex dental treatments that require multiple appointments can often be completed in as little as one or visits - all while you relax in the capable and caring hands of the Diablo Hills Dental Excellence team. Sedation dentistry is considered a safe and effective way to reduce the fatigue and stress of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
At Diablo Hills Dental Excellence, you can experience total comfort while your teeth are restored and your smile improved. Please contact our Dentist, Dr. Palano today to schedule your free initial sedation dentistry consultation in our office serving Antioch, California.
