Sedation Dentistry Denver

Overcome Your Fears for a Healthy Smile

Many of the patients we see at University Park Family Dental come to us for help with their dental phobias. The sedation dentistry options available at our Denver office give anxious patients a chance to put their fears aside and improve the health of their teeth, mouth, and gums. Dr. Avery Lopez offers oral conscious sedation to alleviate the stress patients feel about dental appointments. To learn more about our options or schedule a consultation, contact us today.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Undergoing treatment with oral conscious sedation involves taking a few pills, prescribed by Dr. Lopez, an hour or so before your dental appointment. By the time a friend or family member has driven you to our office, you will have fallen into a state of relaxation and comfort. Although you will remain conscious for the duration of your appointment, you may feel relaxed enough to doze off. Depending on the severity of your anxiety, Dr. Lopez may plan to administer additional sedation or anesthesia once you arrive at the office. Once your treatment is complete, you will be driven back home to wait for the sedation to wear off (usually within a few hours). Oral conscious sedation will leave you with little to no memory of your appointment.

Understanding the Benefits

Whether you struggle with a sensitive gag reflex, want to manage the anxiety you feel when at the dentist, or have neglected your oral health and wish to restore it in as few appointments as possible, the sedation dentistry options we provide at our Denver office can help. Dr. Lopez's vast experience in administering sedation paired with his expertise in cosmetic and restorative dentistry will provide the most successful, comfortable, and stress-free experience for you and your family. Sedation can give you the chance to take control of your oral health and the appearance of your smile without fear.
