Conscious Sedation

Here at Silvestri Dental & Associates we have an amazing variety of protocols available to our patients who for one reason or another have dental fears. It is important to know that a visit to the dentist can be a positive and rewarding experience for you, our patient and us, your dental staff. According to the latest statistics, nearly 30% of Americans are afraid of the dentist. They avoid dental care at all costs, even when they are in pain or distress. But it no longer has to be that way here at Silvestri Dental & Associates.

With the use of sedative gas and/or medications, our highly trained dentist and hygienists can help make you more comfortable so it allows the doctor and staff to work more effectively, accomplishing more in less time with exceptional quality. Sedation dentistry provides a dental experience that is like no other…hours seem like minutes and recovery is a dream. With nitrous oxide and sedation medications, they have been subjected to rigorous research and testing proving that they are safe and have been effectively used for decades. Several of the medications have amnesic properties, meaning that you remember little to nothing of your time in the chair. While other medications simply aid in creating a relaxing and calm experience. With conscious sedation, the patient will always be able to verbally and physically respond to cues and questions from the doctor or staff.

The first step to getting the extraordinary dental care you want and deserve, is to have an appointment with us to review your health history, take x-rays, and have a dental exam. As we gather information about your health, we will discuss your wants and desires. It is also important to talk to the dentist about your fears and concerns, as it will only allow us to make this as easy as possible for you. With the variety of protocols available, we can customize your treatment to your own physiological and pharmacological needs.

While these amazing methods and medications cannot make dental fear disappear, they can give you the confidence and peace of mind to experience quality dental procedures in a whole new way. You might even surprise yourself to gain the self-confidence to get over your fears. Let us here at Silvestri Dental & Associates help you.
