Oral conscious sedation is a safe and time tested option Dr. Charles Fana offers our patients to accomplish necessary and elective dental treatment.   A large number of the general public experience fear or anxiety with regard to dental treatment.  Apprehensive patients tend to avoid the dentist allowing the pain to wreak havoc on their day to day life.  Avoiding treatment can only cause the problem to become more serious.

 

This comfortable mode of patient care can be accomplished in two visits.  The first visit will allow the dentist to gather and assess a complete health and dental history to include a thorough exam and dental x-rays.  If you and the dentist are comfortable that oral conscious sedation is a fit for your treatment requirements, he will explain in detail how it works.  You will be given a prescription for a sedative medication that will allow you to enjoy a restful night’s sleep the night before your actual treatment appointment. 

 

You will be asked to have someone drive you to and from the treatment appointment.  Once you arrive, you will take additional medication that will leave you in a comfortable, sleep-like tranquil state of mind while still allowing you to breathe and speak on your own.  Our trained staff will monitor your comfort level throughout the entire visit.  You will experience a level of patient care you never thought was possible.  Afterwards, you may not remember anything about the actual procedure. 

 

We see this as a win-win way to provide superior care for our patients.  It is a rewarding service we offer; rewarding for you to receive necessary or desired treatment comfortably . . . rewarding for us to be able to work more efficiently.  Dr. Fana is a trained oral conscious sedation dentist, certified and permitted by the Board of Dentistry for the State of Georgia.
