Your Choice for Stress-Free Fresno I.V. Sedation Dentistry
There are only a few dentists who are licensed to perform IV Sedation in California. Dr. Kurt Whitlow and Dr. Nathan Boyd are among the 5% that are trained and licensed to do so. If you have a dental phobia keeping you from enjoying a beautiful healthy smile, IV Sedation might be the perfect solution for you.
Don’t let your fear of the dentist stand in the way of your dental health. At Whitlow Dental Care we believe that everyone deserves a bright, clean, natural-looking smile without worrying about the potential stress and pain of dental treatments.
Sedation dentistry is the perfect choice for those who experience overwhelming dental anxiety because, with a range of options, you’ll be completely relaxed and care-free throughout your next dental appointment. We understand the needs of people who fear the dentist and do our best to help you feel at ease while you receive your much needed dental treatment while sedated.
ENJOY YOUR SMILE WITHOUT FEAR.
Sedation dentistry is especially helpful for those with:
- Intense fear
- Trauma from an early dental experience
- Difficulty getting numb
- A sensitive gag reflex
- Very sensitive teeth
- Complex dental problems
- A limited timeframe in which to complete dental care
Whitlow’s Sedation Process
In our office we start by giving you a sedation pill to take 1 hour before your appointment that way when you arrive you are feeling relaxed and much less anxious for your dental treatment. The Doctor will then come in and make sure you are nice and relaxed while he starts the IV.
Most of our patients say that hardly even remember walking into our office for their appointment and that is was the best experience they have had with having their dental treatment done.
We also offer oral sedation and nitrous as alternatives to the IV sedation.
Please call our office today at 55-441-7700 if you have any questions or to set up an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
