Oct 01, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Dr. Ryan Crain, cosmetic and dental implants dentist in Willow Park, TX is now offering conscious sedation for his patients at Texas Grins to provide them with a more comfortable and less anxious dental visit.
An estimated 1 in 7 Americans experience fear or anxiety about the dentist to some degree. For some patients, their anxiety about the dentist is enough to prevent them from attending their recommended cleanings and checkups. With conscious sedation, Dr. Crain can now provide these patients with a more relaxing experience at the dentist, encouraging them to receive regular care for optimal oral health.
“Conscious sedation is win-win situation for both our patients and our staff,” said Dr. Crain. “Our patients are able to experience a much more relaxing visit, and my staff and I are able to provide them with more regular care and also complete more procedures within one visit.”
Conscious sedation, also known as “sleep dentistry,” puts the patient into a deep state of relaxation but still allows them to be responsive and aware of their surroundings to a certain extent. Though still responsive, the patient is less perceptive to the sights, smells, and sounds of the office environment, and much less receptive to pain.
The most common method of conscious sedation is through inhalation sedation, where the patient is provided with a small mask through with nitrous oxide is flowing. After breathing in the gas, the patient falls into a deep relaxation. Nitrous oxide is safe for most patients and has no lasting effects, so patients can effectively get back to their day-to-day activities after treatment. Other methods available for conscious sedation include oral sedation, where the patient is provided with prescription pill prior to the appointment that has the same relaxation effect.
Dr. Crain and his staff at Texas Grins are committed to providing patients with the latest tools, technology, and procedures in dentistry. Dr. Crain is a preferred Invisalign dentist to provide patients with a better alternative than traditional braces for straighter teeth. Dr. Crain also provides patients with teeth whitening for patients looking to dramatically improve their smile in just one office visit.
Dr. Crain has been practicing dentistry for several years and is a member of several professional organizations, including the Texas Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the East Parker County Chamber, and many more. Dr. Crain spends a lot of his time giving back to the community and those in need. He recently traveled to Guatemala to provide underserved communities with essential dental care.
