Sedation Dentistry in Prosper, TX
Relax Your Way to a Healthy Smile
We’ve all experienced that familiar nervousness about visiting the dentist. We might wonder what the hygienist might say about how well we’ve been caring for our teeth. We might worry that the dentist will find a cavity or gum disease. Many of us might even feel apprehensive, anxious, or a little bit afraid of what happens during a dental visit. Dr. Patel understands the many mixed emotions that can accompany professional dental care and he wants to reassure all of his patients that these feelings are normal. Moreover, he believes that the majority of nervous patients can reach a state of calm and relaxation at Prosper Smiles Family Dentistry. Blending a cheerful office atmosphere with amenities that promise to soothe and entertain, Dr. Patel focuses on putting our patients’ comfort first.
Sedation Dentistry at Prosper Smiles Family Dentistry
While creating a calm, inviting environment can help put our patients’ minds at ease, sometimes a little extra help is called for. Dr. Vimal Patel takes dental fear and dental anxiety very seriously and offers inhalation sedation to help his patients feel relaxed during their visit:
- Nitrous oxide. Since the mid-1800s, nitrous oxide has provided a safe, easily controlled method of dental sedation appropriate for even young patients. Delivered through a soft plastic mask that fits over the nose, nitrous oxide makes you feel euphoric and at ease with the procedure at hand. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, meaning you can return to normal activities after your appointment.
