Once you have experienced Dr. Buchanan’s painless sedation dentistry, like many of our other Livermore patients have, it is extremely likely that you will never be afraid of going to the dentist again! Because you are completely comfortable throughout the sedation dentistry experience, Dr. Buchanan can do years of dental treatments in just one or two simple visits. Many important questions our Livermore patients ask are: “Will I feel any pain?” No. You will feel absolutely nothing, which is the key in keeping you the most comfortable. You will be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. “Will I be unconscious?” No. You will be in a deeply relaxed and comfortable state and (what we find is most important to our patients) you will still be responsive. “What happens afterwards?” After the treatment, you will feel refreshed, with little or no memory of what was accomplished.
At Foothill Dental Care, we can erase years of neglect in just a few simple and standard visits. In fact, with our sedation dentistry, Dr. Buchanan can comfortable whiten your yellow or stained teeth, replace your crowns or dentures, restore sore gums to good health, fix chipped teeth, you name it and Dr. Buchanan can do it for you! Call our office today at (925) 961-5484 to see how sedation dentistry can do wonders for you if you suffer from dental anxiety. Let us take the stress of off you and help us improve your smile!
Another common question our Livermore patients ask: “How long will I be relaxing? “The greatest thing about sedation dentistry is how Dr. Buchanan can individualize each treatment especially for you. Meaning, depending on your needs and which procedures you are schedule for, you will be in a relaxed state anywhere from two to six hours. With sedation dentistry at Foothill Dental Care, you can now have a beautiful smile to show off and also live a healthier and happier lifestyle free of toothaches, headaches, jaw pain, you name it. No wonder so many of our wonderful patients have said:
“Thank you, Dr. Buchanan! Painless sedation dentistry has completely changed my life!”
So, how exactly does sedation dentistry work?
Dr. Buchanan and Associates and their team will give you a small pill that you will need to take an hour prior to your dental appointment at Foothill Dental Care. You will need to have a loved one or friend drive you to our local Livermore office. Most patients who are to undergo sedation dentistry that take the pill tend to feel a bit drowsy when they arrive at the office, which is perfectly normal!
It is then that we will escort you into our comfort room, a room that our Livermore patients, and anyone who has dental anxiety, have grown to love. Dr. Buchanan and Associates and their team will cover you with a thick, warm blanket in order to ensure you are nice and relaxed throughout the process. We will also place you on a monitor to watch your vital signs. One of our staff will be with you and will monitor your vital signs during the entire sedation dentistry treatment process to ensure your health and safety. After that, Dr. Buchanan will begin your treatment to improve your smile.
When your dental treatments at Dr. Buchanan are finished, you will need a family member or friend to take you home so you can recover, relax, and rest as you will still feel a bit drowsy afterwards. If dental anxiety is stopping you from having the gorgeous smile you deserve, call (925) 961-5484 today to set up an appointment. Be relaxed during your visit and let Dr. Buchanan and his staff take care of the rest!
