How to Overcome Your Deep Fear of Dentistry



For patients with an extreme fear or anxiety of dentistry that stems from a deep-seated trauma from a past experience or unshakeable phobia, deep sedation may be the only form of relief. Medication is a last resort and last hope if your oral health is suffering from your inability to seek proper treatment. Dr. Robert Choi can help you determine if you are a good candidate for deep sedation.

If nitrous oxide or oral sedation has not been effective or you experience side effects, then deep sedation may be your best option. It is a convenient, effective and affordable option that is now available to you in our practice. With deep sedation, you can complete major work with little to no memory of your treatment and recover from it's effects faster.

Convenience of Deep Sedation​

Only one visit will be needed. Induction technique does not involve an injection or drink, just a few breaths of a gas. Our specialist can complete evaluation by telephone and on the day of the procedure. Recovery is faster than oral sedation.​​

Affordability of Deep Sedation​

Avoid multiple doses nitrous oxide and/or oral sedation that are not usually covered by dental insurance.

Efficiency of Deep Sedation

Completing dental work will be faster and more effectively accomplished.
