Oral Sedation: Safe & Comfortable
Oral Sedation
Are you unhappy with your smile, but afraid to set foot in a dental office? Would you love to do something about your chipped or crooked teeth but can't bear the thought of someone working in your mouth?
Or are you simply in need of extensive dental work, and would like to get in all done in as few appointments as possible?
Sedation Dentistry is the solution -- Now you can make up years of mistreatment with little or no discomfort with the use of oral sedation. This new advancement in dentistry will change any previously fearful perceptions about getting the necessary treatment for your good oral health.
If you feel anxious about visting the dentist, suffer from acute or chronic jaw soreness, have a gag reflex and have avoided the dentist due to discomfort, have previoulsy complained that you do not get properly numbed, or have physical limitations such as back and neck problems, oral sedation can help provide you with a comfortable, safe, and relaxed dental experience - allowing your dentists to provide you with the care you deserve.
Imagine being able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. No wonder so many patients say,
"Sedation dentistry changed my life!"
Sedation Dentistry, how does it work?
You will be asked to take a pill the night before and one an hour prior to your appointment.
You will need to be driven to the office. These pills will make you very sleepy.
Some patients may require additional pills if the desired effect has not ben met.
This will be decided by Dr Khan.
Once in the office, you will be made very comfortable with blankets and pillows and placed on a pulse and oxygen monitor. Shortly thereafter we will begin your treatment. During your appointment, you will be very relaxed and at time, even sleeping. But you will not be unconscious. You will be able to breathe on your own and respond to our directions. At the end of the appointment you will need to be driven back home. These pills stay in your system for 3 to 6 hours depending on your metabolism. Most of our patients do not even remember coming to the dentist the day after the appointment.
Imagine yourself with a beautiful smile that you always wanted, now easier than ever with oral sedation. Let us become your sedation dentist- Springfield VA, Burke and Fairfax VA areas welcome..
Dr. Khan has been trained and certified
by the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, a renowned oral sedation training facility.
