Sleep Dentistry
Signature Dental offers Sleep Dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, to help patients who experience dental anxiety or discomfort during dental procedures. This technique involves the use of medication to calm the patient's anxiety and make them feel more relaxed and comfortable during their visit.
Benefits of Sleep Dentistry:
- Reduced Anxiety and Fear: Dental anxiety is a common issue that prevents many patients from seeking necessary dental care. Sleep Dentistry helps to alleviate anxiety and fear, allowing patients to receive the dental care they need without experiencing the stress and discomfort associated with dental procedures.
- Less Discomfort: Dental procedures can be uncomfortable, even painful at times. Sleep Dentistry helps to reduce discomfort by numbing the affected area and making the patient feel more relaxed and comfortable during the procedure.
- Increased Safety and Efficiency: With Sleep Dentistry, our experienced dentists can complete procedures more efficiently while ensuring the patient's safety. Patients are closely monitored throughout the procedure to ensure that they are safe and comfortable.
- Quicker Recovery Time: With Sleep Dentistry, patients typically experience a quicker recovery time, as they can rest and recover more effectively after the procedure.
