If you are one of the thousands of Americans who suffer from dental anxiety, the Preston Dental Center can help. According to the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, 30 percent of the population avoids going to the dentist due to fear. This phenomenon often causes patients to miss years of treatment and may result in the neglect of oral hygiene and a need for extensive remedial care. Dr. Lisa H. Mayes is trained to provide safe, comfortable, and relaxing sedation dentistry to our Raleigh, North Carolina-area patients. Under conscious sedation, our patients commonly have little or no recollection of the treatment they receive. As a result, we can provide an array of restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry services that can restore health and beauty to your mouth.
Dental treatment under conscious sedation is safe, pain-free, and relaxing. Patients with severe dental anxiety that has caused them to go without important treatments for years can now comfortably receive the care they require. Our cosmetic dentists utilize sedation dentistry to safely improve the smiles of patients throughout Raleigh, Durham, and across North Carolina. If you would like to know more about sedation dentistry, contact the Preston Dental Center’s Cary office and schedule a consultation.
Sedation dentistry is one manifestation of our commitment to providing our patients with the highest quality care by utilizing the latest dental techniques and state-of-the-art technologies. Sedation dentistry allows our cosmetic dentists to provide safe and comfortable experiences to their patients so that they can obtain the care they need or want. Patients who suffer from dental anxiety, physical limitations, or overly sensitive gag reflexes can relax as they undergo treatment.
In addition, conscious sedation frequently produces a mild retrograde amnesia; patients who use sedation thus seldom remember much about the procedures they undergo. According to DOCS, sedation dentistry patients often recover sooner and suffer from less postoperative pain than other patients.
