At Pearl Dental Center of Laurel Lakes, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. That’s why Dr. Akbar Masood, our trusted Laurel MD dentist, is certified to perform conscious sedation dentistry, making your dental experience comfortable and worry-free.

Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective option for patients who feel anxious or fearful about dental visits. With this approach, there’s no reason to let past bad experiences or fear prevent you from receiving the dental care you need for a healthy, confident smile.

Who Benefits from Sedation Dentistry?

Oral sedation dentistry is ideal for individuals with a variety of concerns, such as:

     - High dental anxiety or fear: Sedation eases nerves, making each visit more manageable. A severe gag reflex: Relaxation minimizes this reflex, allowing smoother treatment.

     - Time constraints: Complete extensive treatments in fewer visits.

     - Chronic or acute jaw soreness: Sedation ensures you stay comfortable throughout your appointment.

     - Physical limitations: Patients with back or neck issues can rest in a more relaxed state.

     - Difficulty getting numb: Sedation enhances comfort even when anesthesia challenges arise.

     - Extensive treatment needs: Achieve a healthier smile without feeling overwhelmed.

     - Desire for a comfortable experience: Enjoy relaxed, stress-free dental care.

No matter your reason, our skilled team at Pearl Dental Center is here to ensure that your experience is as comfortable as possible.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

After an initial consultation with Dr. Masood, our experienced Laurel MD dentist, we’ll determine if oral sedation is the right option for you. During your scheduled procedure:

1. Before the visit: You’ll take a prescribed medication to help you feel relaxed by the time you arrive.

2. During the procedure: Dr. Masood will administer an additional pill to keep you calm and comfortable. While you’ll remain somewhat conscious, you’ll feel deeply relaxed and may even doze off.

3. After the appointment: Many patients have little to no memory of their treatment, making it an ideal option for those with dental anxiety.
