Sedation Dentistry | Columbia SC Dentist | Griffin DMD

Fearlessly Healthy Smiles

Do you have a sensitive gag reflex? Does the sound of a drill or the thought of a needle make you cringe?

If you struggle with visiting the dentist because of a genuine concern about discomfort, sedation dentistry may very well be your avenue to ideal dental health. Since the ADA recently approved and standardized the practice of sedation, thousands of patients have completed dental work that would have otherwise gone undetected and unresolved.

"I think it’s a huge godsend," remarks Dr. Justin Griffin. "Sedation dentistry has all but removed fear and anxiety from the dental experience." We use oral conscious sedation to provide you with a pain-free, stress-free experience that is quiet, soothing and relaxing.

Thanks to sedation dentistry, fear of pain is no longer an obstacle to fantastic, consistent oral health. Don’t allow the fear of pain to make you put off your next visit to the dentist. Call Dr. Justin Griffin and learn why nothing stands between you and ideal dental health.

Zero Discomfort - Fantastic Results

The oral sedation process gives you the ability to "sleep" through your dental visits. Take a small pill the evening before your procedure and one more when you arrive. Ask a friend or family member to drop you off and pick you up. Then curl up in a warm blanket, snuggle into a body pillow, rest your head against a neck warmer and take a nap while Columbia dentist Justin Griffin does the work.

Under sedation, there is little or no interruption, allowing us to work faster and more efficiently. You wake up with little or no recollection of your procedure. Using sedation is very safe and a team member will be continually monitoring your comfort along with your blood pressure, pulse rate and oxygen saturation.

Many of our sedation dentistry patients opt to complete many cosmetic procedures in one sitting, you can truly wake up to a new smile. We can remove a few cavities; perform a root canal and add a crown or a bridge — just let us know what you would like to accomplish.

Have you tried sedation yet? If you haven’t, you’re missing out on one of the best things to happen to modern dentistry since the invention of local anesthetic. Call our Blythewood dental office, WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry, today.
