Patients with:

• Fear and Anxiety
  Nearly half of people with dental problems avoid dental care because of their fears and anxiety. Modern, safe anesthesia techniques allow the fearful patient to have dental procedures accomplished without the anxiety associated with dentistry.
• Low Pain Threshold
  People perceive pain differently. Some have difficulty with numbing. With general anesthesia and sedation techniques, the perception of pain can be altered and patients can be virtually pain free during the treatment.
• Active Gag Reflexes
  Some patients will gag before the smallest x-ray film is even placed in their mouth, or before they have a simple impression taken. Using anesthesia services can eliminate the problems caused by gagging.
• Extensive Treatment
  For sophisticated procedures such as implant dentistry, or full mouth rehabilitation, and extended procedures such as periodontal surgery and root canal therapy, anesthesia services provide increased patient comfort. Completing the treatment under general anesthesia also minimizes the need for multiple visits.
• Special Needs
  For physically and mentally challenged patients, and for individuals emotionally uncomfortable in the traditional dental office setting, anesthesia services can provide both a way to accomplish complete dental care as well as a more pleasant experience.
