Calming the Fear and Anxiety of Trips to the Dentist
If going to the Dentist causes you fear and anxiety, you are not alone…it’s time to talk to the professionals at AXIS Dental Group. Our clinic prides itself on providing a caring environment focused on a positive dental experience. We always do whatever we can to ensure the complete comfort of our patients.
One way we deliver on this promise is by offering patients the option to be asleep or sedated during their treatment. This procedure, known as Sleep Dentistry, Dentistry Asleep, or Sleep and Sedation Dentistry, involves the use of some level of sedation to make the patient unconscious or asleep. The dental procedures are then performed while you’re in this state. We have Anaesthetists and Registered Nurses on staff.
We offer different levels of sedation based on your own unique situation and needs.
- General Anaesthesia – you’re completely asleep and unconscious
- Deep Sedation – you’re unconscious but not in as deep a state of sedation; you should experience a faster recovery from this type of sedation
- Conscious Sedation – you remain conscious and responsive but are in a state that enables treatments to be carried out
Sedation Dentistry makes it possible for you to be completely relaxed during your dental treatments. It’s much like falling asleep and waking up with all your dental work done. You won’t feel any discomfort and you’ll wake up to a new smile with little stress or anxiety.
Dr. Terry Papneja and his team have over 30 years of experience in the area of Sleep and Sedation Dentistry so you can have complete confidence that you’re in good hands. We offer a wide variety of dental treatments to our patients through Sleep and Sedation Dentistry. These include:
