Sedation Dentistry
We will understand if you are someone who might have some of these concerns about dental treatment: High fear, previous traumatic dental experiences, difficulty getting numb, a bad gag reflex, very sensitive teeth, complex dental needs, limited time to complete dental care.
We will understand if you: Hate needles and shots, hate the noises and smells associated with dental care, or are afraid or embarrassed about your teeth.
In addition to pleasant, caring staff, comfortable surroundings, and professional know-how, Dr. Alleman can offer several levels of conscious sedation and anxiety control for your comfort and care. Depending on your needs, you may select Oral Conscious Sedation, Nitrous Oxide Sedation, or Anxiety Control to make your dental care possible.
Sedation dentistry works and is safe. For Oral Conscious Sedation, You take a small pill prior to your appointment, no intravenous tubes or needles. You will have little or no memory of the experience. You probably won't remember any sounds or smells. People who have difficulty getting numb will find that conscious sedation eliminates this problem. Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
A typical visit requires that you have a companion transport and accompany you to our office. You will be drowsy. When you arrive, you will be escorted to our comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket, and placed on a vital signs monitor. After you are comfortable, Dr. Alleman and his experienced dental team will administer local anesthetic and take care of your dental needs. When your treatment is done, your companion will transport and accompany you home, and will stay with you for the rest of your comfortable, relaxing day.
