Is Sedation Dentistry Right For You?

A trip to the dentist is generally not something that people look forward to. Even if there is not necessarily a problem that needs to be addressed, it’s not comfortable to have someone’s hands and tools poking around in your mouth. Dentophobia is a fear of dentists and dental procedures that can range from mild anxiety in the dentist chair to crippling fear that keeps some people from seeking the help they need. Fortunately, at Lasting Smiles Dental Care in Las Vegas, Dr. Ghodsi and his staff have a way to calm fears and provide one of the best solutions for Dentophobia: Sedation Dentistry.

Sedation Dentistry at Lasting Smiles Dental Care

At Lasting Smiles Dental Care, Dr. Ghodsi and his staff are the only Las Vegas dental practice using combo sedation which utilizes nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and general anesthesia to make the visit as comfortable and painless as possible. Combo sedation allows them to use less medication, which helps patients wake up feeling refreshed with little to no recollection of their procedure. That means less stress and less pain for the patient. They have no recollection of the procedure, feel no pain, and remain asleep during the duration. Even if you don’t suffer from high levels of anxiety there are many reasons why patients may choose a sedation dentist including:

• Fewer trips to the dental office
• A general fear of needles
• Difficulty with numbing
• Or even simply a desire to simply wake up when it’s over with a beautiful smile
