Oral Sedation Dentistry

ARE THERE TIMES WHEN YOU’VE DREADED YOUR NEXT DENTAL APPOINTMENT? Even felt a level of apprehension, wanted to cancel, or avoided going even though you knew you needed to? Well, you are not alone. Over one-third of Americans have admitted to having a level of anxiety over dental visits.

At our office in Mechanicsville, Maryland, Dr. Modic understands these apprehensions and knows how important oral health relates to overall health. This is why he is a certified sedation dentist and insures that every patient can be as comfortable as possible, no matter what procedure is being performed.

We understand there are many levels of anxiety patients face. Because every patient and dental circumstances are unique, Dr. Modic will listen to every situation to determine a personalized sedation dentistry plan for each patient. Our office offers multiple forms of oral sedation dentistry, including oral conscious, IV and nitrous sedation.

IV sedation and oral sedation dentistry keep patients in a conscious state throughout the entire dental procedure. Patients are aware and responsive, but relaxed while in the dental chair. After the procedure is over, most patients report not even realizing they just sat through it all. Because of this, what may have previously taken multiple visits to the dentist can now be accomplished with one appointment.

Come to your next dental appointment free of fears and anxiety; let Dr. Tim Modic, a certified sedation dentist in Mechanicsville MD near Waldorf, and our staff show you what oral sedation dentistry can do for you.
