5. What is sleep dentistry?
“Sleep Dentistry” is a receiving your dental care under I.V. sedation or general anesthesia. This means you will be asleep and completely unaware while you dental work is completed. Sleep dentistry is often advantageous for people who have difficulty physically, emotionally or cognitively cooperating with a dentist. This includes people with special needs or medical conditions that place them at risk. The doctors and practitioners of DentistPhone are experts at this form of dentistry. Both I.V sedation and general anesthesia can be controlled to increase or decrease your level of sedation safely and precisely. Sleep dentistry can also be the ideal method when multiple procedures need to be accomplished in one visit, or for those who are highly anxious or phobic.
6. What if I need to see a dental specialist?
Our team includes experienced dentists, endodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, pediatric dentists, physicians, nurses and anesthesiologists. This multi-disciplinary team approach is key to managing the complexities of treating patients who are medically at-risk or emotionally compromised.

After your dentist has reviewed your medical history and completed your examination, any necessary prescriptions can be written or called in to your pharmacy during your initial visit or during any subsequent treatment.
