A Custom Approach for Sedation Dentistry in Alexandria

Sedation dentistry in Alexandria VA, has made a huge difference in the lives of thousands of our patients. Some people know us throughout Virginia as “the sedation dentists” because of the benefits they’ve heard about this modern solution, which brought them to our practice. Here are some commonly asked questions we hear from Burke and Alexandria sedation dentistry clients during consultations:

What is sedation dentistry?

This solution is a safe and effective technique that helps people feel completely relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointments. McMillan and Associates offers various options to meet the needs of almost any patient… from the lighter levels sometimes called Oral Conscious, up to the deeper levels of general anesthesia sometimes referred to as Sleep Dentistry.

Who is sedation for?

This option is right for anyone who wants a comfortable and relaxing experience, and meets minimum health requirements. It is especially useful if you:

• delay or avoid dental treatment because of fear.
• have had a bad experience at the dentist in the past.
• can’t get comfortable while receiving dentistry.
• are uncomfortable with the sights, sounds or smells of the surroundings.
• can’t sit still for certain lengths of time.
• have problems getting numb, making appointment very painful.
• are embarrassed about the condition of your teeth.
• have a bad gag reflex.
• have extremely sensitive teeth or gums.
• hate needles and shots.
• need a lot of work done and don’t have time for several appointments.
