If you suffer from dental anxiety, you’re not alone. Studies show that 25 million Americans avoid dental visits due to fear or anxiety. This common condition can result in severe damage to oral health which may, in turn, lessen your quality of life. The doctors at Aesthetic Dental Partners have been putting patients at ease for almost three decades. They offer safe, effective sedation methods to create feelings of tranquility and security.

• Nitrous oxide is a gas that’s inhaled through a nasal mask. Commonly called laughing gas, this fast-acting sedation method makes you feel warm and cozy during your dental procedures. The effects of nitrous oxide diminish quickly upon removal of the mask. Most patients resume normal activities immediately following their appointment.
• Oral sedation involves the use of a sedative in pill form. Taken prior to dental procedures, oral sedation alleviates anxiety and lets you rest in total relaxation while the doctor performs your dental work. You won’t be asleep, but you will be calm and at ease. You’ll likely return to your routine the evening of your appointment.

Sedation dentistry lets Dr. Bonner and Dr. Huriega perform your dental work in as few visits as possible, which makes it ideal for busy people who don’t have time to attend multiple appointments, as well as for those who suffer from the very real condition of dental anxiety.
