While most patients stick to their dental appointment schedules, others don’t have this luxury. It’s not because of a fault of their own doing. These patients have dental fear and anxiety that makes dental appointments a nightmare. But guess what? With sedation dentistry, Dr. Monti Harpalani and the team can help you overcome dental anxiety for a stress-free experience in the dental office.

Our Approach to Gentle, Stress-Free Dentistry

Dental anxiety shouldn’t make you miss that crucial dental anxiety. You may not have dental anxiety, but you need a “booster” to help you endure that complex and lengthy dental procedure. Whatever your situation, we have a remedy. Besides our comfortable dental office setting, we administer anesthesia to reduce discomfort and pain.

For patients who need more relaxation, we offer the following anxiety-free dentistry options:

• Laughing gas: Also known as nitrous oxide, this oral sedation is administered by breathing through a mask. You feel drowsy when the mask is on but remain conscious throughout the treatment. This sedation takes effect instantaneously, just as it immediately leaves your system when the mask is removed. Laughing gas is ideal for mild dental anxiety and can be used in all patients, including children.
• Medicinal sedation: If your anxiety is so severe that it prevents you from visiting a dental office, we prescribe an oral pill that you take an hour or so before the appointment. This sedation makes you drowsy, so you need someone to drive you in and out of the dental office. Pill sedation puts you in a deep relaxation state, and the dentist can work on you for hours without even realizing it.

If you struggle with dental anxiety, you still deserve optimal dental care. Don’t postpone that crucial appointment anymore. Instead, call 281-809-4902 to talk to Dr. Harpalani about oral sedation options.
