Sedation dentistry
Cochran Dental Care
Many people choose not to visit the dentist because of a common dental phobia. Dr. Cochran at Cochran Dental Care in Alta Loma, California, has treated many people who neglected their dental health for years because of anxiety. Avoiding regular dental treatment often results in worse dental problems, even to the point where drastic measures become necessary. Dr. Cochran has been specially trained at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry (LVI) in outstanding patient care, and won’t take it personally if the thought of going to the dentist makes you nervous – a lot of people do not like visiting the dentist.
Sedation dentistry addresses this common phobia, and is a great way to eliminate the worry from dental procedures. It’s relaxing, safe and anxiety-free.
What is sedation dentistry?
As the name suggests, it is a technique used by a trained dentist to provide a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for people receiving dental treatment. Dr. Cochran administers a sedative that won’t render you totally unconscious, but will relax you.
Sedation dentistry
Oral conscious sedation – For this type of sedation, you will be given a pill to take at home, about an hour before your procedure. Someone will need to drive you to and from our office, since the pill will make you very drowsy. You won’t be unconscious, but you will feel very relaxed. At the completion of your treatment, you will probably fall asleep for a few hours. When you wake up, you will feel refreshed and have little or no memory of what was done.
This technique is safe, and most patients love it because they often feel that the procedure lasts only a few minutes when in fact, Dr. Cochran has had the opportunity to complete numerous treatments in just one or two visits.
This technique is a great option for those who are nervous about going to the dentist. Dr. Cochran knows how to listen to your needs and can assess what level of sedation is best for you. Please call or email us today for an initial consultation.
