Sedation Dentistry Houston

DENTISTRY by john barras dds can be your Houston sedation dentistry source. Houston Dentists Dr. Barras and Dr. Gusemano understand the anxiety and apprehensions that their patients have. Your comfort is their top priority. We want to be sure all our patients have a sedation option to ensure they maintain good oral health.

 

Dr. Barras and Dr. Gusemano are Houston sedation dentists offering options for patients who have fears of going to the dentist. For many patients, nitrous oxide or laughing gas is used to relax the patient. With few side effects and a quick recovery time, nitrous oxide is a great sedation option. Within minutes after your procedures, you will be able to drive your car.

 

For patients with serious apprehensions, Dr. Barras can provide an anesthesiologist to give you an I.V. anesthesia. Because the anesthesia will take time to wear off, you’ll need to arrange someone to drive you home from your appointment.

 

To feel more comfortable at your appointment, we recommend the following steps:

 

Communication: Inform your dentist and dental staff about your anxiety, allowing them to accommodate your needs. There may be ways to adapt your procedure to better suit your needs.

 

Diversions: Watching television or listening to headphones during your procedure can keep your mind at ease. DENTISTRY by john barras dds provides plasma tvs and headphones in all of our treatment rooms.

 

Timing: Schedule appointments at times you know you won't be rushed or under stress, think about first thing in the morning. This way you won't have had the stresses of a normal day to key you up. Sedation dentistry is a safe alternative for those who fear the dentist. Our goal is to make you sure you have a pleasant, relaxed appointment.
