Our office offers RELAXATION TECHNOLOGY

We offer sleep sedation where medication given to you, puts you to sleep and when you wake up your dental work is completed. If you do not want to be totally asleep, we offer light sedation where you are dozing in and out of sleep. In both types of sedation, you will have no memory of going to the dentist. This type of procedure usually helps the dental phobic.

Please read on and you will find out more information about how gentle this office is to our patients.

Dental Treatment For The High Anxiety Patient
For the person who fears going to the dentist, is truly phobic about going to the dentist, loses sleep over the thought of going to the dentist a week before their first visit, and who may break out in a cold sweat days before actually going to see the dentist, fear no more. Many procedures can be performed with sleep sedation and nitrous oxide. Suppose you need a root canal, crown, and an extraction and you can't stand the thought of having this done. Stop worrying. You can be asleep for all dental procedures and have almost all treatments performed in one visit. When you awaken, the dental work is completed. This procedure is also available for the busy professional whose schedules simply do not permit time for a lengthy series of dental treatments. YOU WILL NOT FEEL ANY PAIN, FEAR, OR ANXIETY. We also provide stereo headphones to listen to your favorite music. We have performed this service on over one thousand patients over the last twenty years.

Sleep Sedation
This is where medication given to you before any treatment has begun. It puts you in a light state of sedation, and when you wake up your dental work is completed. You would need to have someone drive you home. This procedure will eliminate all the pain, fear, and anxiety that you feel when you go to the dentist. Dr. Nolan has been performing these procedures for over 25 years. He is one of a handful of dentists that perform this procedure.

Types of Sedation

"Laughing Gas"
Should you desire to not be asleep but would like your anxiety level reduced we can also accommodate you. Nitrous Oxide or "Laughing Gas" is a type of gas that you breathe while your treatment is being done. The "laughing gas" relaxes you so that you are not uptight or nervous while your treatment is being completed.

Comfortable Reception
This office is unlike any dental office you have ever entered. We believe your dental experience begins when you step through the front door of the office. When you enter this newly remodeled office, the guest reception area is contemporary styled, with wood-grained walls and overstuffed chairs. There is a waterfall, which soothes your mind and helps you to relax. You can also view an aquarium, read current magazines, use a computer to get your e-mail, use the telephone for your convenience, or you can kick back and watch television. Our office is here to make your experience at the dentist is a pleasant one. The reception area is warm and cozy. We work with you one-on-one to make sure that you receive exceptional, attentive dental care.
