Virtually Pain Free Dental Care...
 We
know that many patients are apprehensive about receiving dental care.
At Dr. Gardner's, we pride ourselves on our
ability to make each patient as comfortable and relaxed as possible
while receiving care.
First, we listen to your concerns. We then discuss different methods for
making you as comfortable as possible. Together, we lay out a
treatment plan that will meet your needs. We have several options:
1. Dr. Gardner's Sedation Dental Care Program
Many of Dr. Gardner's patients prefer to relax through their dental care. Comprehensive Cosmetic and Laser Dentistry offers a Sedation Care Program including IV and Oral Sedation. Patients can relax and in many cases have all of their
dental needs taken care of in just one appointment. If this
sounds right for you, just click here for more information.
2. Dr. Gardner's Famous Virtually Painless Injection
Most of our patients never know they
have received an injection. That's because of Dr. Gardner's famous
virtually "Painless Injection" technique. Dr. Gardner and Dr. Burch's patients brag about how they can sneak injections right by them easily and painlessly.
Injectable anesthetics, such as Lidocaine, prevent pain in a specific area of your mouth during
treatment by blocking the nerves that sense or transmit pain and
numbing mouth tissues.
They cause the temporary numbness often referred to as a "fat lip"
feeling. Injectable anesthetics may be used in such procedures
as filling cavities, preparing teeth for crowns or treating gum
disease.
Sedation Dentistry with Dr. Burch in Conroe
 Often times other offices use terms such as "sleep dentistry" or "twilight sleep" when talking about sedation. This can be confusing since it suggests the patient will be "put to sleep." The reality is that you remain conscious during IV sedation. You have control of your breathing, reflexes and will also be able to understand your dentist and respond to his requests.
When the visit is completed, most
people feel like there were asleep because the medications used
induce a state of relaxation, and the majority of patients don't
remember much of the procedure performed. This makes it feel as
though the appointment was much shorter than it actually was.
Although our office, like most others,
also performs "oral sedation," or taking a pill for sedation, IV
sedation offer some advantages. The main advantage is the medication
used during IV sedation is effective much more quickly than in pill
form, so it allows the dentist to use additional dosing if needed to
achieve a more desired level of sedation and tailor it to the
patient's needs.
Imagine being able to smile with confidence and chew your food without
pain. No wonder so many patients say: "Sedation dentistry
changed my life."
