San Diego Cosmetic Dentist

Dr. Loye understands that you may feel uncomfortable or fearful when you come in for your cosmetic dental procedure. But with oral conscious sedation dentistry, your fears can be put to rest in a calming, comfortable, and safe way.

Patients who are appropriate for OCS include those who

• Suffer anxiety when visiting their dentist
• Suffer from acute or chronic soreness of the jaw
• Cannot get numb
• Have a bad gag reflex
• Have neck or back problems
• Have a history of other health problems

Because many people complain of one or more of these problems when they visit the dentist, Dr. Loye has several ways in which to keep you relaxed. Depending on your age, anxiety level, weight, and any other underlying health problems, as well as the procedure you are getting, Dr. Loye will choose the right kind of medication to give you. You might take a pill before you come in for your procedure. If you do not feel with that, Dr. Loye can also administer nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas” to keep you relaxed. All of this is done in a safe and caring way.
