Sedation Dentistry
We fully understand that many people are anxious about visiting the dentist. Since we don’t want fear to hold you back from getting the dental care you need, we offer sedation dentistry to improve your experience. Sedation dentistry allows you to completely go to sleep while you get your dental work painlessly done. With sedation dentistry, you are able to come to your appointment and leave without ever being aware that any dental work was performed. Instead of avoiding dental procedures, ask us about sedation dentistry.
Sleep Dentistry
Do you snore while you sleep or wake up gasping for air during the night? If so, you may suffer from a condition called sleep apnea. Dr. Sheets can talk to you about several options available which can treat this very serious condition.
Special Needs Dentistry
Special needs patients require dental work too. They also deserve to find a dentist and staff who are compassionate. They need a dentist who is understanding and able to work with them to ensure that their mouths are healthy.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a very safe form of sedation. It is inhaled and the effects start within a few seconds. It can be adjusted quickly if a patient is too light or too deep. Also, after a few minutes without the gas, it is safe to drive home. It has very little side effects and hardly any effects on the kidneys, liver, brain, and more.
Nitrous oxide makes many people feel happy and warm. It causes a lot of people to laugh so it is often called laughing gas. It is great for sedation when a person is nervous at the dentist. It is also a great pain relief.
Not many dentists use nitrous oxide analgesia anymore. We would be glad to use it if you are extremely nervous or you need some pain relief during your procedure. Our goal is to keep you as relaxed as possible, no matter what procedure that we are performing.
