Sleep Dentistry

Sleep dentistry requires the presence of an anesthesiologist and must be performed by a certified sleep dentist, such as Dr. Coleman. It makes dental care possible for even the most fearful and sensitive people.

For most people, Sedation Dentistry will take the anxiety out of the procedure, making you relaxed and comfortable. However, for others, certain medical problems or past experiences can make dental care almost impossible. Sleep dentistry can help you even if:

• You have had traumatic experiences with dental care in the past
• You are extremely fearful
• You are extremely resistant to numbing medications
• You have a strong gag reflex
• You have severe TMJ

Sleep dentistry is not necessary for everyone. But if you have been unable to tolerate dental visits in the past, it can make dental care possible for you. You’ll be able to avoid future dental pain, problems, and expense.
