When it comes to getting dental care, we understand that sometimes less is more. We believe in taking a more conservative and economical approach to dental care. When patients walk through our doors, they know they're getting a conservative treatment that preserves as much of their natural smile as possible.
When you’re dealing with a dental problem, nothing is more important than finding the right dentist to treat the problem. However, most people don’t take into account the importance of finding a dentist that puts your comfort first. With Minimally Invasive Dentistry, we can perform many of the same dental procedures but with less discomfort, fewer side effects, and a faster recovery. In certain situations, we may even be able to avoid anesthesia altogether.
At Laurel Street Smiles, we offer Nitrous Sedation for patients with an overwhelming fear of dental treatments. This is a safe and effective method of administering conscious sedation, which means that you'll stay awake during the procedure. Nitrous Oxide, the gas used in this type of sedation, can be combined with a local anesthetic, so you don't feel pain or anxiety. In fact, many patients report a feeling of well-being during this type of sedation. All bodily functions remain normal during the administration of nitrous oxide, and its effects wear off quickly afterwards.
