Sedation Dentistry

Does going to the dentist frighten you?

Has it been five, ten, fifteen, even twenty years since you last had any dental treatment? Would you appreciate being completely relaxed, having all your dental needs taken care of in perhaps one appointment... and afterwards remember very little about your visit? If you answered yes to any of these questions, WE can help.

Fortunately, going to the dentist no longer has to be a frightening journey.

Dr. Mariah and Dr. Lara wish to help you through the clouds of fear that have been keeping you from attaining the goal of a healthy mouth. You are not alone! Over 100 million Americans experience some form of fear or anxiety about going to the dentist. We have certified D.O.C.S. training, and have been practicing sedation dentistry in our office for over 15 years. Please contact us at (920) 849-9341 for a complimentary sedation dentistry consultation.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Many patients find being able to relax deeply the key to regular dental visits and good conscious health. This level of comfort is called conscious sedation: you breathe, swallow, and are in control. However, all of your anxieties about dental care are removed. You are able to respond when the dentist asks questions and you remain aware of your surroundings. The amazing thing is that most people remember very little about their actual visit, except that all of their work was performed in one appointment.

You are evaluated on an individual approach to allow Dr. Mariah and Dr. Lara to decide what sedation method is most appropriate for you. This includes putting crushed pills under your tongue all while we monitor your vital signs to confirm you are safely relaxed. No IVs. It is that easy.

Personal testimonials of our patients and why they feel so good about our dental team:

"The procedure went well and was over before I knew it. The staff was wonderful and supportive of my fear of having dental work done. They followed up to make sure all went well, and that I was feeling good the day after. Would not hesitate to do the same if any amount of work had to be done again." Pam H.

"I felt very good about my dental visit because Dr. Murphy explained everything in detail. I took the pill an hour before my appointment and felt very relaxed when I went to my appointment. My procedure took a few hours and it seemed like a half hour. She and her staff were very helpful in explaining everything. I would suggest it to anyone who worries about having a dental procedure done." Nancy L.

"I feel so good about Dr. Baus because with sedation dentistry a four hour dentist appointment was a breeze." John D.

For people who have a high level of fear at the mere thought of a visit to a dentist, just making the first call to schedule an appointment is a very difficult challenge.
