Focusing On Your Whole Body Health

Traducir al español: English | Spanish

For many Yorktown Heights residents, one thing stands in the way of a healthy, beautiful smile – fear of the dentist!  Even routine cleanings can be scary for folks with dental phobia. However, at The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry we have made it our business to offer you the most comfortable dental experience possible, which is why Dr. Lerner offers sedation dentistry services. There’s a lot of misinformation floating around, so here are the facts about sedation dentistry.

What is sedation dentistry?

For millions of Americans, even the thought of visiting the dentist is terrifying. As a result, many people avoid dentists altogether and miss out on a healthy, happy smile. Sedation dentistry is the answer to dental anxiety, aimed at relaxing patients for a comfortable, enjoyable experience.

Who is it for?

Sedation dentistry is generally intended for Yorktown Heights residents whose fear of the dentist might prevent them getting the dental care they need. If you suffer from dental anxiety, sedation dentistry might be the perfect solution. It is also great for patients with high tolerances to anesthesia, soreness of the jaw, or strong gag reflexes.

How does it work?

Dr. Lerner will give you medication before or during your procedure, such as anxiety pills or nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Whatever your preference, the sedatives will help melt away your fears and allow for a pleasant, relaxed experience. Just make sure you have someone to drive you home.

Will I be asleep?

Sedation dentistry does not involve the use of general anesthesia, so you will not be put to sleep during your visit to the dentist. However, the methods and medications used often relax Dr. Lerner’s patients so much that they fall asleep on their own.

Where can I get it?

Many dentists offer sedation dentistry. The best way to find out is to call your dentist. Here at The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we are committed to providing every one of our patients with premium dental care and a comfortable experience. Dr. Lerner offers the highest quality sedation dentistry services to make your visits as comfortable as possible. Contact us today to find out more or schedule an appointment.

"I can’t thank Dr. Lerner and his staff enough, notably his assistant Nicole for expertly handling my mercury filling removals.I had it done in 2 phases and they took very good care of me on both occasions. The whole office is very pleasant, so professional and I look forward to my visits. On this most recent cleaning appointment, Linda did my cleaning. She was gentle and thorough. Highly recommend."

"Excellent experience during my initial consultation. The most complete examination I have ever had by a dentist, including full body muscle testing. This testing uncovered major alignment issues with my jaw which has been causing a lifetime of misalignment throughout the rest of my body. Dr. Lerner and his staff are outside the box thinkers and I am very happy I have found them."
