Sedation Dentistry

Reports show that approximately 50% of the population does not attend to their dental needs. Many of these people are fearful of, or have had negatives experiences with previous dental treatments. Others simply do not have the time to make repeated trips to the dentist office to complete extensive treatments they require.

Through the use of sedation dentistry, dental treatments can now be painless and less stressful for the patients. Also, with the use of Sedation Dentistry procedures that once took numerous visits can be completed in one or two visits.

Dr. Timm is Hospital and University trained in both Oral and Intraveneous Sedation. Dr. Schultz is University Trained and Dr. Timm is certified by the Minnesota Board of Dentistry in Sedation Dentistry.

Don’t let fear or time prevent you from having the healthy, beautiful smile you always wanted, and deserve. With dental sedation, you can remain completely relaxed and ease while you are at your appointment. It takes special training to be able to administer sedation, which both Doctors have received. With this advanced training, the procedure is very safe. If you like the idea of sleeping through treatment and waking up to your dream smile, dental sedation may be right for you!

Oral  sedation can be achieved by taking a small pill shortly before your appointment. Once you are dropped off at your appointment, we help you rest comfortably. Although you are conscious during treatment, you are largely unaware of what is happening. Most patients report little or no memory of their appointment afterwards. We constantly monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety. You can rest assured that you are in well-trained, professional hands! Sedation can be used for many general and cosmetic dentistry procedures. Intravenous sedation differs only in that the sedation medicine is delivered through an IV line placed gently in the arm.

Are you one of the majority of people who has put off going to the dentist due to anxiety and fear of dental treatment? You are not alone and we can help. We can successfully treat years of dental neglect in a dignified and comfortable manner.

Who makes a good candidate for Sedation Dentistry? Adults who have:
* High fear
* Previous traumatic dental experiences
* Difficulty getting numb
* Bad gag reflex
* Limited time to complete dental care
* Complex dental problems
* Fear of needles and shots
* Hate noises, smells and tastes associated with dental care
* Embarrassed about their teeth

Sedation helps you relax to the point where you are virtually unaware of your treatment. You wake gently at the end of your procedure with very little memory of what occurred. Sedation dentistry can help complete multiple long procedures-even years' worth of dental work-in just one appointment. For people who have avoided dental treatment for many years, sedation dentistry can provide the opportunity to at last receive the care they need.
