Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Dentistry

Here we will answer some frequently asked questions about sedation dentistry so that you feel prepared and empowered with knowledge.

Is sedation dentistry safe?
Sedation dentistry is a modern and very safe way to enjoy the benefits of cosmetic and general dentistry treatments with no dental anxiety. Artisan Dentistry offers both oral conscious sedation and intravenous sedation, both of which are safe and highly effective. In many cases, Dr. Paul Mathew can perform more than one procedure while you are sedated. Which means even less dental visits in your future.

Can my dental anxiety be cured with sedation dentistry?
Sedation Dentistry will help you relax to the point where many patients who initially cannot tolerate the thought of the dentist’s chair without sedation find over time that their anxiety diminishes as they experience positive dental experiences with the help of dental sedation. Soon, these same patients are able to tolerate many types of dental procedures with no sedation at all.

What kinds of dental treatments can be performed under sedation?
All types of cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry treatments can be performed with the assistance of sedation, including:

Why should I consider sedation dentistry?
If you’re fearful of the dentist, sedation dentistry offers the opportunity to get the dental care you need without concern for the pain, unpleasant sounds or other distractions that are causing you to procrastinate. Given the latest studies showing a connection between oral disease and heart disease, as well as damage to other organs, doesn’t it make sense to take advantage of sedation dentistry?

Is sedation dentistry expensive?
Conscious oral sedation is a relatively inexpensive solution to the problem of dental anxiety.  Since sedation dentistry relaxes you and allows Dr. Mathew to perform the procedures you need and since several procedures can be performed during one visit, sedation dentistry may actually save you money. However, if you have budgetary concerns, Dr. Mathew offers affordable sedation dentistry financing.

Your health is your most important asset. Please contact us today to schedule your free sedation dentistry consultation with Dr. Mathew of Artisan Dentistry at either the Salem, New Hampshire dental office or the Newburyport, Massachusetts one and find out for yourself how easy it can be to get the best dental care in a comforting environment at prices you can afford.
