RELAX… You’re in great hands!  Even the most fearful patient can “snooze” through complicated care with complete comfort and relaxation.

Nearly 50% of the population feels nervous or uncomfortable about having dental procedures done.  Dr. Nevein Amer and her team have dedicated themselves to making patients comfortable and at ease during dental exams and procedures. With Conscious Oral Sedation Dentistry, we can treat patients who desperately need dental work but are too afraid to seek care.

In an open and caring atmosphere patients can receive pain free dental care while knowing they are not being judged or looked down on over their anxiety or fear.  We strive to excel at the technical aspects of dentistry, but just as important, we strive to care for the patient’s emotional needs.  There will be times that just getting through the door for a consultation will be a small victory for some patients.  We know the importance of that first step and we are committed to providing compassion and starting a relationship built on trust.  We take your fear seriously and are dedicated to providing a dental experience that will both improve your dental health and lessen your dental fears. 

What you can expect from Conscious Oral Sedation Dentistry

• It is safe!  Dr. Amer will give you a small pill prior to treatment.  No intravenous tubes or needles.    
• You will be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing.  Dr. Amer will give you a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment.  Your companion will accompany you to and from the office.  By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy.
• It Really Works!  You really can relax through your dental appointment.  You will have little or no memory of the experience.  You probably will not remember any sounds or smells.  Most patients remember nothing about their treatment.   A few will remember a little, usually at the end of their appointment when we are getting them ready to go home. 
• People who have difficulty getting numb will find that sedation dentistry eliminates this problem.
• Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
