"Wake Up to a New Smile"

Let me create the smile of your dreams - Sedation Dentistry

Dr. Williams received extensive special training, and is among the leaders in the US, using this technique.  Only 1% of the dentists in the country are qualified in this conscious sedation dentistry, and patients come from all over the western United States to San Diego to be treated using this comfortable, safe, and effective system.

What is it?

For Sedation Dentistry or Sleep Dentistry, as it is sometimes called, the medicine used is called Triazolam.  It is a small blue pill taken at your visit.  This tablet has been prescribed over 10 million times per year, by physicians, for patient's use at home.  The drug has almost no side effects or interaction with other medicines you may currently be taking.

What are the benefits?

It allows you to comfortably undergo everything from a simple cleaning to extensive concerns.  One of the additional benefits is that the medicine has an amnesia quality which for most patients, tends to prevent almost any memory of the visit.

• Sedation Dentistry enhances effectiveness of anesthetic.
• Sedation Dentistry decreases gagging.
• Sedation Dentistry assist in decreasing joint and muscle soreness.
• Sedation Dentistry allows more treatment to be provided in a shorter time, which could decrease total number of visits.

How long does it last?

For most patients, the effects last between 2-4 hours, so we require you to have someone drive you home.

Am I really asleep?

Most patients do tend to fall asleep, however, you can still respond to verbal commands.  Even the most apprehensive patients have been ecstatic with the results.

Safety

We constantly monitor each patient with a computerized pulse oximeter, which measures heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation.  We also have a reversal agent on hand that reverses the effect of the medicine in less than 30 seconds.  We have treated over 1500 patients safely and comfortably.  We are caring for patient's everyday using this safe comfortable and relaxing oral sedation method.  It's a blessing for our patients.  Please call our office to hear what our patients have to say about sedation dentistry.  We are compiling a list everyday of happy, comfortable, sedation dentistry patients.

Patients have written to us at Kenny Williams DDS - Cosmetic and Sedation Dentistry to let us know how invaluable our service was to their lives.  Sedation dentistry has encouraged 1000's of patients to come forward and sleep while their dentist transformed their smiles.
