For many, the thought of sitting in a dentist’s chair brings waves of anxiety and fear, often strong enough to cause avoidance of essential dental care. We get it. At Century City Aesthetic Dentistry, led by the renowned Dr. Bill Dorfman, we specialize in helping anxious dental patients ease, and even overcome, their fears. If going to the dentist feels daunting, Dr. Dorfman and his compassionate team are here to show you it doesn’t have to be that way.

Understanding Dental Anxiety
Dental fear is more common than you might think, and you’re not alone. Whether it’s due to past negative experiences, fear of pain, or the sense of helplessness often associated with dental visits, many individuals struggle to step foot in a dental office. Unfortunately, this can lead to postponed care and worsening oral health issues.
But what if there was a way to finally feel calm and in control at the dentist? Through sedation dentistry, Dr. Dorfman offers solutions tailored to your comfort, changing the experience altogether.
Discover Sedation Dentistry
Dr. Bill Dorfman’s approach includes offering different levels of sedation dentistry designed to meet your specific needs. Whether you experience mild anxiety or severe dental phobia, there’s an option to ensure your visit is as stress-free as possible.
Sedation Options Include:
- Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide): A great option for mild to moderate anxiety, nitrous oxide keeps you calm and comfortable during your procedure, and its effects wear off almost immediately after.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: This involves taking a prescribed sedative before your appointment, allowing you to be calm and relaxed while remaining awake.
- IV Sedation: For those with severe dental phobia or who need extensive procedures, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation, ensuring you won’t feel or remember much of the appointment.
Dr. Dorfman and his team take the time to clarify each method, guiding you to choose the best option for your needs.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry doesn’t just make dental visits bearable—it actively transforms them. Among its many advantages, sedation can help you:
- Feel Calm and Relaxed: Say goodbye to fear and tension.
- Complete Multiple Procedures in One Visit: Save time by addressing several dental issues in a single appointment.
- Reduce Memory of the Visit: For those who experience severe phobia, sedation minimizes memory of the procedure, making future visits easier.
This approach ensures you can get the care you need without feeling overwhelmed.
