Dental visits can spark anxiety for many people, and we understand just how overwhelming that fear can be. At Dentistry at Bridlewood in Ocala, Dr. Stephen H. Dunn and Dr. Guneshi De Mel are here to ensure your experience is as comfortable, stress-free, and relaxing as possible with expert sedation dentistry.
Whether you’ve avoided the dentist for years or just need a little help relaxing during a procedure, sedation dentistry could transform the way you view dental care.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients feel calm and at ease during their dental procedures. This approach is especially beneficial for individuals with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or those undergoing lengthy treatments. At Dentistry at Bridlewood, we offer tailored sedation options, ensuring your comfort while delivering paramount dental care.
The sedation methods we use vary depending on your unique needs. Options may include minimal sedation, where you’re awake but relaxed, to moderate sedation, where you may not remember much of the procedure. This helps patients receive the care they need without unnecessary stress or discomfort.
Why Sedation Dentistry Matters for Anxious Patients
We see countless patients who delay essential dental care simply because of fear or anxiety. Unfortunately, putting off those appointments can lead to more significant dental issues that require even more time and procedures to address.
Our team at Dentistry at Bridlewood works hard to help Ocala residents overcome these challenges. With sedation dentistry, we provide a welcoming environment that allows patients to feel in control and worry-free. Here’s how sedation dentistry can improve your dental experience:
- Relieves Dental Anxiety and Fear
For individuals who feel nervous just thinking about the dentist, sedation offers a way to eliminate the stress that often accompanies dental visits. Imagine sitting in the chair without worrying about discomfort—it’s possible with our approach.
- Eases Complex or Lengthy Procedures
If you’re facing an extensive procedure or multiple treatments in one visit, sedation can make the time feel like it’s flying by. Our top priority is to make even the most involved visits as pleasant as possible.
- Helps with Sensory Sensitivities
If the sound of drills or the brightness of dental instruments makes you uneasy, sedation helps take the edge off, allowing you to focus on getting the care you need.
- Encourages Regular Check-Ups
When anxiety stops being a barrier, scheduling regular dental check-ups feels much easier. Preventative care can save you from needing complex treatments in the future.
