Sedation Dentistry has become more mainstream.  Taking a couple of pills before treatment makes the apprehensive patient comfortable.  The fear of going to the dentist is rapidly becoming a thing of the past for those that have avoided dental care due to anxiety.

Yesterday, Monday, August 2nd, I worked on a patient for 7 hours to begin the journey of a smile reconstruction under light sedation.  It was nothing less than amazing to help this patient achieve the smile he has always desired. Please read further on why I love cosmetic dentistry as much as I do......

Many patients are asking me, "why sedation dentistry?" Before I got involved with sedating our patients, I believed that once patients were introduced to our office they would feel so comfortable the need for sedation would be none existent. The fact is that a substantial number of people avoid going to the dentist due to fear.
