While 15% of Americans suffer from dental anxiety, it’s no surprise that many neglect dental check-ups and exams until problems have become so horrible that teeth need to be extracted. Whether the apprehension or fear stems from a previous bad experience or insecurity about the condition of your teeth, our practice’s primary goal is to make patients feel welcome, comfortable, and secure.
Dr. Amirian is a New York State Oral Conscious Sedation Licensee and offers anxious patients pill oral sedation and laughing gas sedation to help them relax during the most routine treatment. Sedation dentistry in Brooklyn, NY can also help patients complete more complex procedures in less time, sometimes in a single visit, and those patients only requiring a simple cleaning can doze off in the dental chair and rest easy while we take care of all your dental concerns.
“Best dentist service! They are very professional, gentle and caring with their patients. I would recommend this dental office to anyone. Their respond to emergency situations is fast and effective. Overall I had a really good experience”
“I just got home! I'm so happy that my concerns were listened to & addressed. The staff & dentists showed care & concern. He is patient & precise. I actually enjoyed my visit to the dentist this time. I will definitely refer my friends & family to them.”
For most dental and surgical procedures, we use local anesthetic such as lidocaine, to numb the area we are working on. Once you are properly numb, you do not feel pain.
Laughing gas helps patients relax during appointments.
Patients, who have mild or moderate dental anxiety, can benefit tremendously with oral sedation. Our doctors would prescribe medication in a pill form that you can take in our office an hour before your dental appointment starts.
IV sedation is a good choice for patients who are very nervous and desire a deeper level of sedation. This is commonly referred to as “Twilight sleep” and our NY dental team uses monitors to assess your vital signs and administer oxygen.
It is a safer form of anesthesia because you are still conscious and breathing on your own. Many patients fall asleep but can be easily awakened.
