Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry in Newport Beach, CA

We all love to walk out of the dentist’s office with fresh-feeling teeth and an improved state of oral health, but for some people, the idea of actually going to the dentist can make them downright fearful. Yet, not only the timid elects sedation dentistry. Some patients have to undergo multiple cosmetic procedures, but do not have the time to revisit Dr. Yazdan office. In these situations, sedation dentistry can help comfort a patient’s experience, and help make the most of their time spent with us.

Patients who benefit commonly have:

• A fear or anxiety of being at the dentist
• A hard time sitting still for long periods of time
• A hard time becoming (and staying) numb from anesthetics

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation allows your doctor to provide a variety of dental treatments safely and comfortably to patients who experience anxiety when visiting the dentist. There are several benefits, including:

• No memory of undergoing the procedure
• No sense of time while under sedation
• No sense of smell or sound
• No fear or anxiety during treatment

Patients who have undergone a procedure using sedation dentistry will tell you it is a simple, relaxing way to experience dentistry.
