In spite of the latest dental technology and minimally invasive techniques, many patients still suffer from a great fear of the dentist. Their past bad dental experiences, control issues, and fear of pain can cause great stress, and anxiety before they even walk through the door. If you happen to be one of the millions of people who have postponed dental treatment because of anxiety and fear, you can now take a deep breath and relax. Dr. Johns understands your concerns and offers sedation dentistry for a uniquely exceptional dental experience. He has been personally providing sedation to patients for over 30 years.

With oral sedation dentistry, we find that our patients can safely maintain total peace of mind and body during long dental procedures. Even very long visits in the dental chair can be comfortable for patients choosing the sedation dentistry option.

How does it all work? Typically you will take a pill by mouth before your appointment. The amount and type of medication will be determined at your initial consultation. Our goal is to have you very sleepy and relaxed, but still be able to respond to verbal stimulus when needed. While you are under the effects of sedation, Dr. Johns and our expert team will perform the dental procedures for that visit, and afterwards, you will find that you have little or no memory of the procedure. With sedation dentistry, many procedures can be preformed during one dental visit alone allowing fewer visits in a comfortable environment. Therefore, sedation is an excellent option for many of our patients.
