Most of the patients that come to me, they are very impressed by our reviews because they are from the patients that have been anxious in the past and now are anxiety-free coming to my office. So I have a very nice, friendly environment. As soon as the patient walks in, we have a very nice, warming staff. We always start our relationship with talking to them and making them feel comfortable. Some of them are anxiety-free after first of two appointments. Some of the patients, we provide them some medications. We do moderate sedation. We will prescribe them some medications that I would prescribe or we would do nitrous, which really helps them while we are able to perform their dental procedures.
Leave Your Anxiety Behind With Our Expert Care & Attention to Detail
Making sure you’re comfortable is a high priority of Dr. Zia and our staff. We’ll always listen carefully to your concerns and keep you informed on your treatment at every step of the process. We understand that not everyone can sit comfortably through a dental procedure, so we have made our office as comfortable as possible.
For those patients who need a little extra help getting comfortable, we offer two choices for dental sedation:
- Inhaled Sedation – You’ll breathe in this pleasant gas through a small mask over your nose, and immediately you’ll begin to experience a sense of euphoria. You may even be a little giddy. The gas wears off right away, so you can resume normal activity including driving.
- Oral Conscious Sedation – We’ll prescribe a small pill to take before your exam or procedure that will put you in a completely relaxed state. You’ll need to have someone drive you home afterward, since the effects of the medication will linger.
