Sedation Dentistry
Have you ever avoided going to the dentist because you were concerned about procedural discomfort? Dr. Kelley Fisher empathizes with you. We see many first-time patients who decided to put off visiting the dentist out of a concern about pain.
At our office, we believe that everyone deserves a comfortable dental experience, so we do our best to take your feelings into consideration at all times. If you can relate to that anxious feeling when you think about visiting the dentist, Dr. Fisher has great news for you. It's called Oral Conscious Sedation, and it is quickly becoming the preferred form of dental care for those who have:
- Limited time
- Complex dental problems
- A very sensitive gag reflex
- Difficulty in becoming or maintaining numbness
- A strong aversion to dental noises, smells and tastes
- Apprehension that keeps them from visiting the dentist
One of the biggest benefits of sedation is short-term amnesia. While under sedation, you maintain your ability to swallow and speak - although you'll remember next to nothing about the time you spent with us. How's that for a positive dental experience?
Recline & Relax While Our Eastside dentist Does All the Work
Fully certified in oral sedation, our Issaquah dentist can give you safe, effective and anxiety-free treatment. Prior to administering sedation, we screen you for a variety of risks factors to ensure that you will be safe. During sedation your safety and comfort is always the priority, so we monitor your vital signs and oxygen saturation levels throughout the duration of your treatment.
We also offer nitrous oxide in conjunction with sedation, not as a sedative, but as an analgesic pain reliever. While alert enough to answer and ask questions during the entire procedure, you will feel totally relaxed and comfortable. When the procedure is complete, take time to wake up and refresh yourself.
If you plan to use sedation, we do request that you have a friend or family member drive you to and from our Issaquah dental office.
Your teeth are yours for a lifetime. Don't allow worry to prevent you from keeping them in tip-top shape. Call Bellevue dentist Dr. Kelley Fisher and learn how sedation can dramatically improve your dental experience.
