Is Sedation Dentistry Safe For Beverly Hills?

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Beverly Hills Sedation Dentistry When we discuss sedation dentistry with new Beverly Hills cosmetic dentistry patients, we encounter many misconceptions. The purpose of today’s Century City Aesthetic Dentistry article is to de-bunk some of the most common myths about dental sedation.

Myth #1: With Sedation Dentistry, You Are Completely Unconscious

Some nervous Beverly Hills dental patients are not only afraid of receiving treatment; they also fear the thought of not being in control. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry we offer different levels of dental sedation, but none of the sedation options put you completely to sleep. With oral sedation you are relaxed but not totally knocked out. When we need to ask a Beverly Hills dental sedation patient a question during the treatment, the patient is able to hear, understand, and respond.

Myth #2: Dental Sedation Should Only Be Used For Extensive Dental Treatment

Beverly Hills anxiety-free dentistry is completely safe. Many nervous dentistry clients request sedation for routine oral health exams and procedures.

Myth #3: Most Dental Insurance Companies Do Not Cover Sedation Dentistry

Some Beverly Hills dental insurers do cover sedation. Check with your insurer for details about your dental insurance benefits.

Myth #4: Sedation Dentistry Is Still Experimental

Our Beverly Hills dental office has been safely providing sedation for many years. Century City Aesthetic Dentistry meets all the requirements advised by the American Dental Association. Millions of Americans and thousands of Beverly Hills dental patients have safely received sedation for dental treatment.

For more information about anxiety-free dentistry, contact Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at http://www.billdorfmandds.com/ or (877) 331-9291 today to schedule a sedation consultation.

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Los Angeles Sedation Dentist Can Help

Friday, October 7th, 2011

Afraid of the Dentist? Your Los Angeles Sedation Dentist Can Help If you live near Los Angeles and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.

Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Los Angeles at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Los Angeles for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous cosmetic dental clients in the L.A. area.

Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, Los Angeles dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Los Angeles patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:

  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Fear of needles
  • A powerful gag reflex
  • Difficulty controlling body movement
  • Lengthy multi-procedure visits
  • Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections

If you need dental work more extensive than tooth colored fillings; such as a tooth implant, crown replacement, porcelain veneers or tooth whitening; call Century City Aesthetic Dentistry at (877) 331-9291. When you come to our office at 2080 Century Park E, Ste 1601 in Los Angeles, we can give you more information about sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is only one of the services we offer at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, where your smile is our top priority!

Help Me Los Angeles; I’m Afraid Of The Dentist!

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

Beverly Hills Sleep Dentistry If you are afraid of your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, you are not alone. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we encounter many nervous first-time Los Angeles dental patients. How do we calm their fears, provide a comfortable dental environment and earn lifelong clients?

1) We carefully explain the findings of the initial dental examination and thoroughly outline any recommended procedures. The consultation also includes a discussion about pain control including oral conscious sedation medications. This allows our California dentistry clients to make informed decisions about their oral health and necessary dental procedures.

2) Dr. Bill Dorfman practices gentle, pain-free dentistry. Century City cosmetic dentistry treatment will not begin until you are numb. Keep in mind, however, that every dentistry patient reacts to numbing agents and sedation medications differently.

Speak up quickly if you start to feel discomfort. We will pause treatment, administer additional analgesic and wait until it takes effect. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we never rush cosmetic dental or restorative procedures.

We will do our best to make you comfortable, whether you are receiving dental veneers, undergoing crown-lengthening treatment, having your teeth whitened, or replacing your old silver fillings.

3) We provide many in-office amenities at Century City Aesthetic Dentistry which help our dental patients focus on something pleasant during cosmetic dental treatment. Not every Los Angeles dental patient chooses sedation dentistry. Sometimes chemical-free diversions such as listening to your favorite music provide a diversion while letting you remain clear-headed.

At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, we understand dental anxiety and will help you overcome it. We are located at 2080 Century Park East, Suite 1601 in Los Angeles, 90067.

To schedule a friendly consultation, call (877) 331-9291 or visit http://www.billdorfmandds.com/.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

Oral Conscious Sedation Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Oral sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, oral conscious sedation can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider oral conscious sedation if you have any of the following issues:

  • Strong gag reflex
  • Fear of needles
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • A history of negative dental experiences
  • Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related condition
  • Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided cosmetic dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call at (877) 331-9291. We can give you more information about sedation options and help you determine which one is right for you. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.

Serving Los Angeles dental patients since 1985.

You deserve a billion dollar smile
