People
have lots of reasons for neglecting or delaying
dental procedures, from nervousness about dental
instruments to embarrassment about long ignored
dental problems. But neglecting your dental
health can ruin a beautiful smile - and may even
lead to serious complications. Today, the widespread
availability of safe, effective sedation dentistry
means that there's no reason to put off treatment
any longer.
It's a proven method. Sedation techniques have been
used successfully for decades by M.D. anesthesiologists
around the world. They are now being used in dental
offices with outstanding results.
Of course, your dental work may be covered by your
insurance. Additionally many medical plans will
cover the cost of sedation. Pleasant Dreams Dental
Centers participating dentists can help you with
any financial questions about your treatment or
insurance coverage.
Preperation is easy. Your Pleasant Dreams Dental
Center dentist will advise you on how to prepare
for your sedation and dental work. Usually, it's
as easy as not eating a large meal before your treatment.
What are you waiting for? Just as your dentist for
more information. He or she will be happy to answer

Sedation
dentistry means that you will be sedated during
your dental treatment. Sedation is provided
by either a sedation dentist or an M.D. anesthesiologist
who works side-by-side with the dentist during your
care. All of your dental treatment is performed
while you are in a safe, painless, twilight sedation.
Sedation dentistry at Pleasant Dreams Dental Centers
is performed in state-of-the-art dental offices.
Dr. Perry is your local Pleasant Dreams Dental Dentist.
The result is that you feel no anxiety, no fear,
no pain, and then wake up after the work is completed.
In less than an hour you are ready to leave the
office. And best of all, you feel like you had a
pleasant nap with little or no memory of the dental
appointment. It's safe, it's effective, and it makes
possible the care that you so desperately need. |
|
| This
is the safest type of sedation dentistry.
You are sedated and completely comfortable while
being cared for by a highly trained sedation dentist
or an M.D. anesthesiologist. Your level of sedation
is monitored and adjusted throughout your dental
appointment so that you have no pain or awareness
and no memory of the procedure when its over. |
|
Yes,
someone must bring you to the office and take you
home at the end of your appointment. At home
you will relax and rest comfortably for the rest
of the day.

|
It
depends on the extent of your dental treatment.
It can be as short as 1 hour or as long as 3 to
4 hours. Your dentist will tell you the details
of your treatment and the length of time needed
to complete it.
All types of dentistry can be done while you are
sedated, from simple cleanings to complete smile
makeovers.
And it's not just about helping fearful patients.
For those who want to avoid the inconvenience of
scheduling multiple regular dental appointments,
or those who simply find it difficult to sit for
long appointments, sedation dentistry is the answer
because all your dentistry can be completed in only
one or two appointments.
