Comfortable Care For the High Fear Patient

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Staten Island Sedation Dentist Can Help

If you live near Staten Island and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.

Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Staten Island at Staten Island Dental Care. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Staten Island for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous restorative and cosmetic dental clients in the Brooklyn area.

Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, Staten Island dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Staten Island patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:

Teeth sensitivita;
Fear of needles;
A powerful gag reflex;
Difficulty controlling body movement;
Lengthy multi-procedure visits;
Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections.

If you need dental work more extensive than a filling; such as a root canal, dental implant, crown replacement or wisdom tooth extraction; call Staten Island Dental Care at (347) 695-4370. When you come to our office at 1520 Richmond Avenue in Staten Island, we can give you more information about sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is only one of the services we offer at Staten Island Dental Care, where your smile is our top priority!

Sedation Dentistry In Staten Island

Many Staten Island cosmetic dentistry patients have discovered the benefits of anxiety-free dentistry (sometimes called sleep dentistry). There are three main types of sedation options available in the Staten Island area.

Inhalation

Nitrous Oxide, sometimes called ‘laughing gas‘ has been used in Brooklyn cosmetic dental offices for over a century, because, in many ways, it is an ideal sedative. It begins to work quickly, but then wears off as soon as the Staten Island dental patient stops inhaling it. Breathing nitrous oxide can produce warm tingling sensations and a feeling of euphoria.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral sedatives take longer to work than nitrous, but produce a calmer state for many nervous Staten Island dental patients. Triazolam and diazepam are common oral sedatives used in dentistry. These sedative medications are routinely prescribed by Staten Island physicians for anxiety, insomnia, and muscle spasms.

Oral sedation is a good sedation choice for anxious patients who require a lengthy dental procedure. After the dental visit, it takes a while for the medication to wear off. A Staten Island conscious sedation patient should not plan to drive home after undergoing oral sedation.

IV Sedation

Like nitrous, intra-venous sedation starts working immediately as the sedative enters the bloodstream. IV sedation usually produces the deepest state of relaxation. IV patients can dream away the entire procedure and wake up calm and relaxed.

To schedule a sedation dentistry consultation, call Staten Island Dental Care at (347) 695-4370. We have the answer for your dental anxiety.

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe For Staten Island?

When I discuss sedation dentistry with new Staten Island cosmetic dentistry patients, I encounter many misconceptions. The purpose of today’s Staten Island Dental Care dentistry article is to de-bunk some of the most common myths about dental sedation.

Myth #1: With Bayonne Sedation Dentistry, You Are Completely Unconscious

Some nervous Staten Island dental patients are not only afraid of receiving treatment; they also fear the thought of not being in control. At Staten Island Dental Care, we offer different levels of sedation, but none of the sedation options put you completely to sleep. With oral sedation you are relaxed but not totally knocked out. When we need to ask a Staten Island dental sedation patient a question during the treatment, the patient is able to hear, understand, and respond.

Myth #2: Manhattan Dental Sedation Should Only Be Used For Extensive Dental Treatment

Staten Island anxiety-free dentistry is completely safe. Many nervous Staten Island sedation dentistry clients request sedation for routine exams and procedures.

Myth #3: Most New York Dental Insurance Companies Do Not Cover Staten Island Sleep Dentistry

Some Staten Island dental insurers do cover sedation. Check with your insurer for details about your New York dental insurance benefits.

Myth #4: Staten Island Sleep Dentistry Is Still Experimental

Staten Island cosmetic dentists have been safely providing sedation for many years. Staten Island Dental Care meets all the requirements advised by the American Dental Association. Millions of Americans and thousands of New York dental patients have safely received sedation for dental treatment such as dental implants.

Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in Staten Island

In Cosmetic Dentistry, Sedation Dentistry, Smile Makeover

If you are planning extensive cosmetic dental work, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:

Cost
In the long run, it is less expensive to do it all at once. At Fred Hecht DMD in Staten Island, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most New York residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at (718) 761-5757 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.

Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Staten Island dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry

When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss oral sedation dentistry. Many New York cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. Conscious sedation is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.

In Cosmetic Dentistry, Sedation Dentistry

Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your dentist office holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite New York radio station. A woman clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.

As you read this, does your heart start to race? Are your palms sweaty?

If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients in Staten Island every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your Staten Island dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.

Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule a visit with Dr. Fred Hecht to learn about conscious sedation dentistry.

Total Tooth Restoration

Your face is always on display for others to see. You can’t hide it behind long sleeves or baggy jeans, and a hat won’t hide it away on a sleep-in Saturday.

Many lucky Staten Island residents who have received smile makeovers at Staten Island Dental Care believe their dazzling new smile brightens their whole face. Some Willowbrook professionals have corrected tooth problems prior to beginning a search for new employment.

A beautiful smile is essential to a polished appearance. Brooklyn cosmetic dentistry is not just for people in the public eye, it is for anyone who desires a youthful looking smile.

Manhattan teeth whitening is quicker and more popular than ever. Some of our Staten Island cosmetic dental clients invest in total teeth restoration because they have always been self-conscious about chips, gaps or crooked teeth.

Cosmetic dental treatment may consist of dental bonding, dental implants, dental bridges, orthodontics, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening or a combination.

If you are unfamiliar with the latest materials and procedures, see smile makeover expert Dr. Fred Hecht for a cosmetic dental consultation. Some transformations are completed in just one visit! And don’t forego a new smile because you are afraid of dental treatment. Nervous Staten Island cosmetic dental clients can wake up to a new smile with oral conscious sedation.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Oral sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, oral conscious sedation can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider oral conscious sedation if you have any of the following issues:

Strong gag reflex
Fear of needles
Sensitive teeth
Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
Difficulty getting numb
A history of negative dental experiences
Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related condition
Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call at (718) 761-5757. We can give you more information about sedation options and help you determine which one is right for you. At Staten Island Dental Care we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.
