Donna H.

“My hygienist is always very thorough and explains what she is going to be doing throughout my visit. She makes it a point to make sure I am comfortable before she starts cleaning/treating my teeth. Although I avoided the dentist in the past, I look forward to my visits now. All of the staff are consistent in excellent customer service and satisfaction. I highly recommend Perfect Smiles to anyone!!” – Donna H.

Liz S.

“I had my very 1st periodontal cleaning today and I must say my hygienist Erin was absolutely gentle and made sure I was not in any pain and made me feel very relaxed, I was absolutely comfortable with what was being done. I have been here many other times and I would highly recommend it to anyone who fears going to the dentist. They really care about you and make sure you are not in any kind of pain. Thank you again Perfect Smiles” – Liz S.

Is sedation dentistry right for me?

Are you one of the many people who dread going to the dentist or have a busy lifestyle and are pressed for time? Do you feel anxious, nervous or even downright terrified at the thought of sitting through a dental appointment? If so, you’re not alone. But fear no more! Our sedation dentistry techniques and comfort amenities will help you relax during dental procedures – might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Sedation dentistry can also help you if you don’t like sitting through dental appointments, can’t relax, have trouble feeling numb, or have strong gag reflexes. If you just want to get all your dental treatment done in one appointment to minimize time spent in a dental chair, sedation dentistry can also be used.

What should I expect with sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry encompasses a wide range of soothing solutions, far beyond what you might have experienced during your wisdom teeth extraction. At Perfect Smiles, we believe in customizing your dental experience with the perfect balance of relaxation and efficiency. We offer three levels of sedation:

Level I : Nitrous Oxide, or “laughing gas,” is the mildest form of sedation we offer.

Ideal for patients seeking a gentle touch of calm during their dental treatments, this complimentary service (valued at $180) requires no medical clearance. You can drive to and from your appointment with minimal side effects, and continue with your day uninterrupted.

Once the nose cone is placed, inhale deeply and allow the tranquil ambiance to envelop you. Within minutes, you’ll be relaxed yet responsive, fully aware of your surroundings with the relief of any tension.

Level II : For those needing a deeper level of relaxation, Level II sedation is the answer.

This comprehensive approach requires pre-arranged transportation and care, as it combines liquid oral medication with Nitrous Oxide for enhanced comfort. With noise-canceling headphones and an overhead TV, you’ll feel at ease, while we carefully monitor your blood pressure and oxygen levels.

Level III : The deepest level of conscious sedation.

The good news is that the majority of patients are great candidates for Level III sedation dentistry. In fact, we like to say they are our safest patients we have in the office, using our hospital grade monitoring system. At Perfect Smiles, we prioritize the health and safety of our patients and make sure to thoroughly evaluate all medical histories and current health conditions before proceeding with sedation dentistry. The process is really easy using our scheduling checklists which will involve a quick fax to your general doctor for clearance.

Sedation and comfort dentistry offers a soothing and secure solution, enabling even the most anxious patients to undergo dental treatment with ease. However, the concept of sedation can evoke uncertainties of its own. Let us put those concerns to rest by revealing the exceptional safety measures in place at Perfect Smiles.

How safe is sedation dentistry?

First and foremost, we ensure that every sedation dentistry candidate receives a quick but extensive health interview with us and then a medical doctor signs off on it. No worries, our team followed an efficient checklist and will take care of everything for you.

Our team of dental professionals are not only proficient in sedation procedures but also boasts extensive credentials and ongoing education in diverse dental specialties. We use this expertise to focus on delivering the highest quality of care for our patients.

Our team is adept in Advanced Life Support Techniques, ensuring that patients are in competent hands during their visit. This certification is above regular cardiopulmonary resuscitation (AKA CPR) and uses a hospital grade monitoring system which will give us a visual recording throughout your appointment of your: Blood pressure, Blood Oxygen level, Heart Rate, Breathing Capnography/ rhythms, and watches the way your heart is beating through an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).

During sedation dentistry appointments, we prioritize patient safety. In fact, our sedation patients are indeed our safest patients, as we maintain a comprehensive understanding of their well-being throughout the entire appointment.

If you need it, dental sedation is always available to help you relax. We offer a choice of three different kinds of sedation.
