Sedation and Cosmetic Dentistry

By Modesto Garafalo


It's very common for people to avoid the dentist. It can be intimidating to think of a stranger's hands inside of your mouth. Still, if you avoid the dentist, you are at increased risk for disease. It's important that your teeth be professionally cleaned so that they are well maintained. A dentist provides more than just a cleaning; he or she will also examine your mouth for signs of cancer and other problems.

There are a wide variety of factors you must consider when trying to find a cosmetic and sedation dentist. Below, you will find a guide to help you in this sometimes challenging search. Hopefully you will become less frustrated by applying these tips.

An imperfection in your smile can affect your confidence. Overall health is very important, but appearance is also important; cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the look of your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can alter the color, shape, and straightness of your teeth. The most common cosmetic procedure is whitening, and it aims to improve the appearance of your smile by lightening the shade of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are another option in cosmetic dentistry. A porcelain veneer is bonded to a tooth, covering it up, and improving the appearance of your smile. Although these tools can be very beneficial, some people do not get them because they are afraid of seeing a dentist.

Sedation dentistry is a great option for people who get anxiety when at the dentist's office. This provides you with an opportunity to receive dental treatment without any of the fear that usually accompanies it.

With sedation dentistry, you will be relaxed, and you will not feel any pain. To a sedated patient, a long procedure will go by in minutes. Remember, though, that being sedated does not mean being unconscious. You will be awake, but calm and relaxed.

Because you are awake the entire time, sedation dentistry is not the same as sleep dentistry. People often wake up feeling exhausted when they undergo sleep dentistry. For this reason, many people prefer sedation dentistry.

A cosmetic dentist will also benefit from sedation dentistry. With sedation dentistry, a cosmetic dentist will know that the patient is relaxed and not in pain; therefore, he or she will be able to focus on the procedure itself.
