Sedation dentistry is the newest buzz phrase in cosmetic dentistry, but many people don’t understand exactly what it entails. Practiced by many dentists in Miami, sedation dentistry includes any dental procedures carried out under sedation. In some cases, the patient is under general anesthesia, but more often, the dentist performs the procedures while the patient is conscious, but under the influence of anti-anxiety medications.
Miami sedation dentists may use any of several different types of sedatives to help
patients overcome their anxiety and relax. According to national statistics, dentists use nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” about 35 percent of the time when doing sedation dentistry. Miami dentists approach that same average, however, office of Miami cosmetic dentist Howard Hoffman, DDS is an exception. There, the preference for conscious sedation dentistry is oral sedation dentistry. With oral sedation dentistry, you simply take one little pill before your visit and lose all your anxiety and panic about visiting the dentist.
If you’ve resigned yourself to living with crooked teeth, missing teeth or a smile that isn’t all it could be because you’re afraid of pain, oral sedation is the answer you’ve been looking for. Under sedation, the Miami cosmetic dentist can whiten your teeth, realign your smile, repair gaps and broken teeth and perform nearly any other type of cosmetic dentistry – and you won’t feel a thing. In fact, oral sedation is so effective that many patients don’t even recall the procedure.
What kind of makeover does your smile need? Psychologists say that an open, warm smile has a positive effect on how others perceive you. People who smile often are more likely to be hired when they apply for jobs and more likely to be remembered positively by the people around them. Broken, crooked or chipped teeth – or even a smile that isn’t as bright as it could be – can make you self-conscious and affect your smile, and that, in turn, can affect how others see you. If you live in Miami, sedation dentistry is an option if you need to repair chipped or broken teeth, fix old dental repairs, straighten your smile, adjust the spacing of your teeth or just brighten the color of your teeth. Don’t let your fear of the dentist stand in the way of a bright, beautiful smile.
