Five-Star Testimonial from Our Patient in the Waterford Area!

John’s Testimonial

“I had anxiety about what I was going to do, how I was gonna do it, the expenses involved, etc. Until I met Dr. Sheehan, I had a lot of reservation, but she gave me courage. I’m very satisfied with what she has done. The implants are supposed to secure your teeth, and be more pleasurable to eat. I am looking forward to eating what I want! Look at your quality of life! The procedure is not a painful operation. Make the decision, and have it done!”

Life-Changing Results

Sedation Dentistry Has Its Benefits Check Them Out!

The vast majority of people are at least mildly uncomfortable going to the dentist.

It’s likely you know someone with a chronic (potentially debilitating) fear of the dentist. There are dental sedation solutions to ease dental anxiety.

  • Wake Up Smiling...

You often aren’t aware of the procedure, and sometimes you’ll have no memory of it afterward.

  • Time Travel...

Being sedated or asleep during the appointment can make the procedure seem faster. You’ll wake up and the time will feel like it went by in an instant.

  • Needle-Free and Pain-Free…

If you’re afraid of needles, there’s no need to fear dental sedation! There are many options that are needle-free and pain-free.

  • Better for Your Overall Health...

You can finally get the care you need that you have been putting off — possibly for years! Normally this might have been terrifying, but with the help of dental sedation you can take care of your oral health without the stress.

  • Save Time...

You can have two-to-three times the amount of work done in one day, minimizing the need for multiple future appointments!

  • You Can Get IV Sedation for Tooth Extractions!
