Sedation Dentistry
If you suffer from dental anxiety or fear, have had negative experiences when visiting the dentist or simply feel nervous about your treatment, our dentists and team may recommend sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry is also a good option for individuals who have trouble getting numb or who have a sensitive gag reflex.
Sedation dentistry involves the use of special medications to help you feel calmer and more relaxed during your visit. There are several types of sedation dentistry available, ranging from mild sedatives that simply help you relax to deeper forms of sedation that will cause you to fall asleep. Our dentists will review your options with you to ensure that you receive the form of sedation that is right for you. Common types of sedation dentistry include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation and IV sedation.
Sedation dentistry is designed to help you feel more comfortable during your treatment. Our team will carefully monitor you throughout your visit to ensure that you are safe and that you remain comfortable. Depending on the type of sedation you receive, you may need to have a friend or family member drive you to and from your appointment.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a mild sedation treatment offered at our office to help anxious patients feel more at ease during their dental treatment. This sedation method allows our patients to remain conscious during treatment, which helps them have a comfortable and relaxed experience. The benefits of oral sedation include:
- Quick and easy use
- Comfortable experience
- Lower cost than that of other sedation options
Offered in pill form, oral sedation is taken before you arrive for your dental appointment. Our dentists will give you a list of instructions for how to take your pill, and it is important to follow these instructions exactly. Remember to have a family member or friend drive you to and from your appointment, as you may feel drowsy as the sedation takes hold. It is also not unexpected for you to remember very little of your appointment, which is why it is important that you prepare accordingly.
IV Sedation
IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, is a conscious sedation method that involves injecting sedative medication directly into the bloodstream. This helps you relax quickly and provides a calming alternative for patients who require more intensive dental treatment or suffer from anxiety while at the dental office. Before administering IV sedation, our dentists will meet with you to go over your medical history and dental needs to see if IV sedation is right for you.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia at Artistic Dentistry is a safe and effective way to ensure patient comfort during complex dental procedures. It involves using medications to induce a state of controlled unconsciousness, allowing our skilled dental team to perform treatments without causing any pain or distress. This method is particularly beneficial for patients with severe dental anxiety, those undergoing extensive dental work, or individuals with special healthcare needs. Our experienced anesthesiologists closely monitor each patient throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times.
One of the most important things to remember is to bring someone with you to drive you home from the office. This type of sedation is safe, but because it is a sedation treatment, we will monitor you throughout your entire appointment to prevent any complications and ask that you have a family member or friend stay with you for several hours after you return home until the medicine has worked its way out of your system.
Our dentists will provide you with detailed instructions on what to expect before your appointment.

Implant Dentistry
Are you tired of dealing with the discomfort and inconvenience of traditional dentures? At Artistic Dentistry, we offer a modern, long-lasting solution that can transform your oral health and restore your confidence: dental implants. Our expert team is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care, ensuring that you leave our office with a smile that looks and feels natural.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are advanced dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth with unparalleled precision and stability. A dental implant consists of three main components: a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, an abutment that connects the post to the prosthetic tooth, and a custom-made crown that mimics the appearance of a natural tooth. Implants are versatile and can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch.
The Advantages of Dental Implants Over Traditional Dentures
Why choose dental implants over traditional dentures? Here are some compelling reasons that highlight the significant benefits of dental implants:
- Natural Look and Feel — Dental implants are designed to replicate the appearance and functionality of natural teeth. The custom-made crowns blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a beautiful and natural smile.
- Enhanced Comfort — Unlike dentures, which can cause irritation and discomfort, implants are securely anchored in the jawbone. This stability eliminates the risk of slipping and ensures a comfortable fit.
- Improved Oral Health — Dental implants help preserve the jawbone by stimulating natural bone growth, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. This support maintains the structure of your face and prevents the sunken appearance associated with traditional dentures.
- No Dietary Restrictions — With dental implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry. There’s no need to avoid hard or chewy foods, as the implants provide the same biting and chewing strength as natural teeth.
- Permanent Solution — While traditional dentures may need to be replaced or adjusted over time, dental implants are a long-term solution. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective investment in your oral health.
- Easy Maintenance — Caring for dental implants is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are all that’s needed to keep your implants in optimal condition.
- Improved Speech — Traditional dentures can sometimes slip or cause mumbling, affecting your speech. Dental implants, however, provide a stable foundation, allowing you to speak clearly and confidently.
