Sedation Dentistry
Sleep Dentistry in Orange County near Anaheim – Sedation Dentistry Options
Many people who suffer from excessive dental anxiety due to traumatic dental experiences in the past delay seeking dental care even when they know they need treatment, preferring to suffer the pain rather than face a dental visit. Now, thanks to the safe and effective sedation dentistry options available at Mohr Exceptional Dentistry, even the most nervous patients can have bright, healthy smiles without having to endure unnecessary fear or pain. Although dental sedation is often referred to as sleep dentistry, at our Anaheim-area Orange County practice we feature oral and intravenous conscious sedation options, which allow us to maintain the utmost level of safety for our patients.
Oral Conscious Sedation
The simplest sleep dentistry option offered at Mohr Exceptional Dentistry is oral conscious sedation. With this method, you simply take a single pill before your appointment in order to attain a profound state of calm and keep anxieties at bay. You will be conscious throughout your treatment but experience no pain or fear, and you will be monitored attentively at all times by medical professionals to ensure your safety. Following treatment with oral conscious sedation, a friend or family member will be required to drive you home, as the effects of the sedation will take several hours to wear off completely. Most patients who choose this sedation method recall few details of their treatment afterwards, experiencing only the benefits of Dr. Gregory A. Mohr's exceptional dental skills while avoiding pain and fear. Oral conscious sedation is an excellent choice for nearly any patient who suffers from dental anxiety, and it is often used during the placement of tooth-colored fillings, dental bridges, ceramic crowns, and other dental restorations.
IV Conscious Sedation
At Mohr Exceptional Dentistry, we also offer intravenous (IV) conscious sedation. In order to maintain the highest standard of safety, all IV sedation treatments are administered by a board-certified medical anesthesiologist who will monitor you at all times during your treatment, allowing Dr. Mohr to concentrate on providing your dental care. Though you will not actually be in a state of sleep, IV sedation dentistry at our Anaheim-area Orange County office will allow you to maintain a completely calm and tranquil mood throughout your treatment. In fact, thanks to the deep state of relaxation that our patients are able to attain with IV sedation, we can often accomplish several visits' worth of dental treatment in only one session, saving our patients both time and unnecessary stress while allowing us to achieve striking results. This sedation method is often used in combination with smile makeovers, full mouth restorations, and the placement of porcelain veneers, as well as for patients who suffer particularly high levels of dental anxiety.
