Providing the Thousand Oaks and Malibu Areas with Sedation Dentistry
Oral conscious sedation is an amazing yet simple technique that allows patients to snooze through their entire dental appointment. Sedation dentistry helps patients feel relaxed and stress free, since it significantly decreases the body's inclination to tense the muscles when under stress. Sedation dentistry techniques require no IVs and do not cause the possible side effects of general anesthesia. At the Ziv Studio for Smile Design, serving Thousand Oaks and Malibu, we provide sedation dentistry options to ease the fears of anxious patients so that they can receive the treatment they need to keep their smile healthy and beautiful.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Feeling apprehensive or even outright scared of receiving dental care is nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, it is a common fear: Millions of people experience anxiety at the thought of visiting the dentist, including many of our patients from the Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, and greater Los Angeles areas. Sedation dentistry is changing these patients' experiences in the dentist's chair, since it allows them to feel completely at ease during treatment. This allows people who have avoided seeking necessary dental care to receive the treatment they need – and avoid unnecessary burdens on their oral health – without undue fear or discomfort.
Just imagine taking a small pill before your dental appointment, dozing away the afternoon, and waking up to a gorgeous new smile!
Nitrous Oxide Treatment
The Ziv Studio for Smile Design also provides nitrous oxide treatment as an alternative to oral sedation. For our patients from the Thousand Oaks and Malibu areas who do not want full sedation dentistry, but still want something to help them relax, nitrous oxide treatment is often an excellent choice. The nitrous gas acts quickly, provides a flexible duration and level of sedation, produces little grogginess after treatment, and causes few side effects – all while helping to take the edge off a patient's anxiety. Many patients who undergo nitrous treatment fall asleep during treatment, leave our office with little memory of their dental procedure, and quickly return to work or school as usual.
Dr. Ziv is an active member of D.O.C.S., the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation.
