There is no template treatment plan here. What we recommend takes account of your medical history, the medications you take, conditions such as diabetes that affect healing, your schedule, your budget, and how you actually feel about dental treatment — because a plan you are not comfortable with is a plan that does not get completed.
For patients who find treatment stressful, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation, along with comfort technology including a computerized pain-free injection system and single-tooth anesthesia that numbs only the tooth being treated. Many patients who have avoided periodontal care for years are able to move forward once sedation is part of the conversation.
Anxiety about dental treatment is common and nothing to apologize for. Tell us about it at your consultation and we will build the visit around it, from how much we explain as we go to how the appointment is paced and how many procedures we combine into one sitting.
