Let Sedation Dentistry Help You

A WHILE BACK WE OVERHEARD someone (NOT one of our patients!) compare dental visits to washing dishes—you don’t like it but you know it needs to be done. Well, in response, may we suggest an analogy of our own?

What if every time there were dirty dishes you could blink your eyes and they would be washed, dried, and back in your cupboards!

Although it doesn’t work quite so miraculously, sedation dentistry does work in much the same way—with results that can feel even faster.

Sedation dentistry has proven helpful to many of our patients, for a variety of reasons and procedures. Sedation dentistry helps a visit seem as though it only lasted a few minutes, when in fact, it may have lasted for hours.

There are many forms of sedation dentistry. At Dynamic Smile Design, Dr. Puig will work with you to determine what’s best for your particular situation. In some cases, sedation can be much like anesthesia during surgery. Most often sedation doesn’t put you completely out. While they may not remember anything, patients who choose sedation dentistry are awake, functional, and responsive.

One of the greatest benefits of sedation dentistry is that procedures that typically take multiple visits can now be accomplished in one visit—saving you a lot of time, stress, and hassle. And obviously, another benefit is that patients who experience dental anxiety can better relax and resolve their fears or worries.

Dr. Puig is very proud of, and confident in, the sedation methods she uses. As with all her dental care, she is on the leading edge of this service—continually updated her skills to offer you the best options.
