Sedation Dentistry — Our Newport News, Virginia Patients Have the Sleep Dentistry Option
For many patients, a trip to the dentist creates an overwhelming sense of panic or anxiety. Some patients fear dental instruments and dental work; others may be embarrassed about a dental condition. Unfortunately, these fears can keep a person from getting much-needed dental care. We at the office of Dr. William T. Griffin understand your feelings. However, we know that when your fears keep you from getting needed dental treatment, small problems can lead to major dental issues. Now conscious sedation dentistry available at our Newport News, Virginia practice offers you a way to overcome your fears and get the dental care you need.
Conscious Sedation Dentistry: The Answer to Dental Anxieties
For patients who dread dental work or are anxious about the condition of their teeth, Dr. Griffin offers a revolutionary option called conscious sedation dentistry at his Newport News, Virginia practice. Conscious sedation dentistry, or "sleep dentistry," allows maximum comfort during dental treatment and is extremely safe. Our Virginia patients enter a complete state of relaxation during sleep dentistry, where they are virtually unaware of any treatment. After dental work is complete, the patient is gently awakened from the sleep dentistry procedure and has no recollection of any discomfort.
How Does Sleep Dentistry Begin?
Before any dental work is done, Dr. Griffin will talk with you to learn your concerns at his comfortable Virginia office. He’ll discuss sleep dentistry with you and answer any questions you might have. Next, we’ll ask you to give us information about your health and describe any health issues. Dr. Griffin can give you a preliminary examination and we can take x-rays at this point, or we can wait until you return to our Virginia office and continue your examination under sleep dentistry.
What Happens in Sleep Dentistry?
Our sedation dentistry procedure is simple and easy. We’ll give you a calming sedative to take the night before you come to our Newport News, Virginia office for your sleep dentistry session. On the day of your procedure, a friend or relative will bring you to our office. We’ll seat you comfortably, and Dr. Griffin will give you additional medication to calm you completely. As your sedation dentistry session continues, you will be in a state of complete relaxation and totally unaware of the dental work being performed. After your dental work is complete, you’ll awaken with no recollection of any discomfort. Then your companion will take you home from our Virginia practice to relax peacefully until effects of the sleep dentistry medication have disappeared.
The Advantages of Sleep Dentistry
In addition to the anxiety-free, painless dental experience that sedation dentistry provides, our Virginia patients have found that sleep dentistry affords the benefit of a faster, more efficient dental visit. Dr. Griffin may complete multiple procedures — even years' worth of dental work — in just one convenient sleep dentistry appointment. A wide variety of procedures and treatments can be accomplished with the aid of conscious sedation dentistry. In one visit to our Newport News, Virginia office, Dr. Griffin can place porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, or dentures during a patient’s sedation dentistry treatment.
