Dental anxiety shouldn't prevent you from receiving the care your smile needs. At Orange County Dental Care, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for many patients. That's why we offer referrals for sedation options to help you relax during your treatment. Our compassionate approach focuses on ensuring your comfort while providing the quality dental care you deserve in a stress-free environment.
While Orange County Dental Care doesn't offer direct sedation services, we work closely with trusted specialists who provide various sedation options for our patients who experience dental anxiety. We can coordinate referrals based on your specific needs and the complexity of your treatment. Our primary focus remains on creating a comfortable, supportive environment for all patients through compassionate care and clear communication about each procedure.
For patients with dental anxiety, sedation dentistry through our specialist partners offers numerous benefits. It allows necessary dental work to be completed comfortably, often with no memory of the procedure. This approach is also beneficial for patients requiring extensive treatment, those with a strong gag reflex, or individuals with special needs who may have difficulty remaining still during dental procedures.
"As someone who avoided the dentist for years due to anxiety, the sedation option Dr. Etemadieh coordinated completely changed my experience. I was able to get the dental care I needed without stress!"
If you experience dental anxiety, Dr. Etemadieh will discuss your concerns during your consultation and determine whether sedation might be beneficial for your treatment. Based on your medical history, anxiety level, and the complexity of your dental procedure, we can recommend the appropriate specialist for sedation services. Our team works closely with these specialists to ensure coordinated care and a seamless experience for our patients.
On the day of your procedure, the sedation will be administered by the specialist according to the predetermined plan. Throughout your treatment, your vital signs will be monitored to ensure your safety and comfort. After your procedure, you'll need a responsible adult to drive you home, and we'll provide detailed post-treatment instructions. Our team will follow up to ensure you're recovering well and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Dr. Etemadieh and the team at Orange County Dental Care are ready to provide you with exceptional dental care in a comfortable, welcoming environment. Whether you need a routine check-up or are considering a smile transformation, you'll benefit from his expertise and commitment to quality.
