Afraid of the Dentist? How Sedation Dentistry in Rochelle Park Can Help

Dental anxiety is real. Learn how sedation dentistry at our Rochelle Park office provides a stress-free, comfortable experience for everything from cleanings to implants.

You Are Not Alone in Your Anxiety

Does the thought of a dental visit fill you with anxiety or fear? You are not alone. Millions of Americans avoid necessary dental care due to dental phobia. At Perfected Smiles, we understand and validate these feelings. That's why we offer sedation dentistry, a safe and effective way to ensure you can receive the care you need in a completely relaxed and stress-free environment.

What is Oral Conscious Sedation?

One of the most common methods we use is oral conscious sedation. This involves taking a prescribed medication shortly before your appointment. You will remain conscious and able to communicate with our team, but you will be in a state of deep relaxation. Many patients have little to no memory of the procedure afterward, describing the experience as if they slept through it.

Who is a Candidate for Sedation?

Sedation dentistry is an excellent option for a variety of patients. This includes those with high dental anxiety, a severe gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, or those who need to undergo lengthy procedures like dental implants or a full smile makeover. It allows us to complete more dentistry in a single visit, saving you time.

A Safe and Monitored Experience

Your safety is our absolute priority. Dr. Jason Schepis and Dr. Ryan Maher are highly trained in sedation protocols. Throughout your visit, your vital signs are continuously monitored by our team. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience that changes the way you see dental care.
