Sedation Dentistry for a Relaxing Experience
We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. Our dentists offer two types of sedation dentistry to help you feel calm and comfortable during your treatment.
We know some people feel anxious about dental visits. You are not alone. Dental anxiety is real, and we have real solutions.
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is a mild, safe option that helps you feel calm and relaxed. You remain fully awake and aware. The effects wear off quickly, so you can drive yourself home and go about your day.
Oral conscious sedation is ideal for longer procedures or patients with higher anxiety. You take a pill before your appointment and feel deeply relaxed throughout your treatment. Most patients remember little of the procedure afterward.
And yes, we have an office dog! Marley is a golden retriever who doubles as a therapy dog. He greets patients, offers comfort, and helps both kids and adults feel at ease. Some patients even ask for him by name.
Emergency Dentistry When You Need It
Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them. Our dentists provide urgent dental care for these problems:
- Sudden toothache
- Broken tooth
- Gum or tooth injury
- Lost crowns or fillings
We’re here to provide the care you need. At Howze Dental Group, we prioritize emergency cases to relieve pain and restore your smile as quickly as possible. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, don’t hesitate to call us. Our team will guide you on what to do next and work to get you seen as soon as possible.
