Comprehensive Esthetic Dentistry At David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates - Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry

If you want a movie star smile, David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates in Pearland can explain your cosmetic dentistry options.

Whether you have damaged teeth, aging enamel, or teeth that need aligning or whitening, we can address your problem areas, provide you with an overall assessment, and discuss the treatments that are best for you.

A smile makeover usually involves two or more procedures, which may include dental veneers, dental implants, cosmetic bonding, and teeth whitening or bleaching.

Sometimes the initial examination reveals dental treatments that are necessary to correct other problems, such as bite alignment. In such cases, Invisalign clear braces may be an unobtrusive option.

Dental Anxiety? Try Sedation Dentistry in Pearland

Do you worry about seeing the dentist? Does your anxiety level start to rise, even when you set up an appointment? David C. Montrz, DDS, PA & Associates in Pearland have a solution: sedation dentistry.

Most of us get at least a little nervous before an appointment. For some people it’s more than that. It may be because you suspect you have new cavities, or worry about the idea of drilling, but for such patients, the anxiety is in overdrive. With sedation dentistry at our Pearland or Friendswood office, we’ll put you at ease.

There are several options.

1. Nitrous Oxide

This is what is commonly known as laughing gas, and it’s been in use at dental offices across America for more than a hundred years. Once it’s administered, probably won’t make you laugh (you never know, though), but most patients are put at ease within a few minutes. Afterward, it wears off quickly and there are no side effects, so you’ll be able to drive yourself home.

2. Oral Conscious Sedation

For patients who need a little more than nitrous oxide, the next level is oral conscious sedation. We prescribe a sedative that you take an hour before your scheduled appointment. Most patients are awake through the entire procedure but don’t remember anything. Since this is the next level of sedation, it’s more powerful – and you’ll need a ride back home.

3. IV Sedation

IV Sedation is for those patients with dental phobia, have a medical issue, or want to complete a series of treatments in a single visit. At this level, the patient is completely out. It is administered by professionals and is perfectly safe, but again, you will need a ride home when it’s over.

Our practice has created a special website devoted to sedation dentistry, and it should answer all of your questions:

Help Me – I’m Afraid Of The Dentist!

Categories: Sedation Dentistry

Houston Sleep Dentistry If you are afraid of your cosmetic dentist, you are not alone. At David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates – Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we encounter many nervous first-time dental patients. How do we calm their fears, provide a comfortable dental environment and earn lifelong patients?

1) We carefully explain the findings of the initial dental examination and thoroughly outline any recommended procedures. The consultation also includes a discussion about pain control, including oral conscious sedation medications. This allows our  patients to make informed decisions about their oral health and necessary dental procedures.

2) Dr. Montz practices gentle, pain-free dentistry. Alvin cosmetic dentistry treatment will not begin until you are numb. Keep in mind, however, that every dentistry patient reacts to numbing agents and sedation medications differently.

Speak up quickly if you start to feel discomfort. We will pause treatment, administer additional analgesic and wait until it takes effect. We never rush cosmetic dental or restorative procedures.

We will do our best to make you comfortable, whether you are receiving dental veneers, undergoing crown-lengthening treatment, having your teeth whitened, or replacing your old silver fillings.

3) We provide many in-office amenities to help our dental patients focus on something pleasant during cosmetic dental treatment. Not every dental patient chooses sleep dentistry. Sometimes, chemical-free diversions, such as listening to your favorite music, provide a distraction while letting you remain clear-headed.

At David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates – Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we understand dental anxiety and will help you overcome it. We are located at 2443 S Galveston Ave  in Pearland, 77581.

To schedule a friendly consultation, call 832-895-5120 or visit https://www.pearlandsmiles.com/.

Afraid of the Dentist? Pearland Sedation Dentistry Can Help If you live near Pearland and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.

Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Pearland at David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates – Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Pearland for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous cosmetic and restorative dental clients in the Friendswood area.

Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, Houston dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Pearland patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:

  • Teeth sensitivita;
  • Fear of needles;
  • A powerful gag reflex;
  • Difficulty controlling body movement;
  • Lengthy multi-procedure visits;
  • Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections.

If you need dental work more extensive than a filling; such as a root canal, tooth implant, crown replacement or wisdom tooth extraction; call David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates – Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry at 832-895-5120. When you come to our office at 2443 S Galveston Ave

Sedation Dentistry In Pearland

Friendswood Sedation Dentistry Many Pearland dentistry patients have discovered the benefits of anxiety-free dentistry (sometimes called sleep dentistry). There are three main types of sedation options available in the Houston area.

Inhalation

Nitrous Oxide, sometimes called ‘laughing gas‘ has been used in Friendswood cosmetic dental offices for over a century, because, in many ways, it is an ideal sedative. It begins to work quickly, but then wears off as soon as the Alvin dental patient stops inhaling it. Breathing nitrous oxide can produce warm tingling sensations and a feeling of euphoria.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral sedatives take longer to work than nitrous, but produce a calmer state for many nervous Friendswood dental patients. Triazolam and diazepam are common oral sedatives used in dentistry. These sedative medications are routinely prescribed by Houston physicians for anxiety, insomnia, and muscle spasms.

Oral sedation is a good sedation choice for anxious patients who require a lengthy dental procedure. After the dental visit, it takes a while for the medication to wear off. A Manvel conscious sedation patient should not plan to drive home after undergoing oral sedation.

IV Sedation

Like nitrous, intra-venous sedation starts working immediately as the sedative enters the bloodstream. IV sedation usually produces the deepest state of relaxation. IV patients can dream away the entire procedure and wake up calm and relaxed.

To schedule a sedation consultation, call David C. Montz DDS, PA & Associates – Family, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry at 832-895-5120. We have the answer for your dental anxiety.
