We can combine Sedation Dentistry with Dentures, or with the patient’s dentures.

How is that accomplished?
A few steps prior to your sedation appointment, we can fabricate or begin to fabricate the denture. We can combine dentures with tooth removals. There are many patients who choose to go the route with Dentures, removable appliances. Many of those steps, the tedious process of fitting dentures, can be accomplished with the removal of the teeth and then a few steps of introducing the denture and delivering the denture at the same time.

Those combinations can offer patients an awful lot for those patients that just don’t care to come back to the dentist for multiple visits. Many of the patients enjoy that. In fact, you can go from a point where you can just have your teeth that day. Without Sedation, there are multiple steps that are involved, and yes, it tends to drag out the number of appointments we see you and we cannot combine them because of the steps that we can accomplish with Sedation Dentistry.

The types of procedures we can do with Sedation Dentistry is practically unlimited.

We can do all types of Restorative Dentistry, we can do Cosmetic Dentistry, we can do Oral Surgery. Any of these services are easily accomplished with Sedation.

We are also able to combine Sedation Dentistry with Cosmetic Dentistry. In fact, we currently have patients that are utilizing it. Simple, it is a step where the patient can choose what they want to do, they can preview the desired results, and we accomplish that in one to two short visits.

You CAN get Veneers done with Sedation Dentistry.

The nice thing about it is that with IV Sedation, it is a very short period of time. We can accomplish Veneering patients teeth in literally about an hours time.

Do we make Sedation Affordable?

There is a small cost involved with it. We do make arrangements to have a doctor come in and that cost is a little bit more. But many of times, what we do is ask patients just to make payments. There are different vehicles for patients to make payments: interest-free payment plans, the can prepay, all types of things are available to our patients.

Patients sometimes have the concept that they can’t afford it. It always comes up. I am really interested in explaining to patients that we have very successful patients, patients who are very wealthy, and we have those patients who are not and we work with them. We want to offer our Sedation services to them and we can phase these things and make it very affordable for them.
