Sedation Dentistry for Naples / Fort Myers — Bonita Springs Dentist Fred Eck D. D. S.

Many patients experience overwhelming panic and anxiety when they have to visit the dentist for a procedure. Their feelings can result from a fear of dental instruments and dental work. Some patients are acutely embarrassed about a dental condition. Dr. Eck understands these fears and feelings and has compassion for his patients who suffer from dental anxieties. However, he cautions these patients that putting off needed dental care allows small dental problems to develop into major dental issues that require much more extensive and costly dental work. Now with sedation dentistry, our Naples and Fort Myers patients can overcome their anxieties and get the dental treatment they need and the cosmetic results they desire. Our Bonita Springs dentist, Fred Eck D.D.S., offers pleasant sedation dentistry for all procedures, from dental implants to porcelain veneers to TMJ treatment, so that all of our patients can accomplish their dental goals.

Sedation Dentistry

To alleviate the anxiety of his patients who dread dental work or are embarrassed about a dental condition, Bonita Springs dentist Fred Eck D.D.S. offers the option of conscious sedation dentistry. Our Naples and Fort Myers patients have praised this revolutionary method because it allows them to undergo any treatment without fear or anxiety. Sedation dentistry, also known as "relaxation dentistry," allows the patient to completely relax into a state of tranquil comfort. All of the sounds and sensations of the dental procedure fade away.

The Sedation Dentistry Procedure

Before any work begins, Dr. Eck meets with the prospective sedation dentistry patient in his comfortable office to discuss dental fears. He outlines the steps he'll take, answers any questions, and addresses any concerns. X-rays can be taken at this point, or they can be taken after the patient has entered a sedated state. On the day of the procedure, a relative or acquaintance drives the patient to our Bonita Springs office. We offer various types of sedation based upon the patient's needs, including IV and oral and nitrous oxide analgesia, so that the patient enters a state of complete relaxation. Dental work does not begin until the patient is totally calm and sedated. Once the work is complete, the patient's companion provides a ride home, where the patient relaxes quietly until the medication's effects have disappeared.

Sedation Dentistry's Advantages

Sedation dentistry offers our Naples and Fort Myers patients a comfortable way to accomplish needed dental work comfortably and without anxiety. Additionally, sedation dentistry provides a more efficient dental experience because Dr. Eck can complete multiple procedures in one convenient appointment. In one visit to our Bonita Springs office, our dentist can place implant crowns, repair cavities with tooth-colored fillings, and perform laser dentistry and teeth whitening, all while the patient is in a completely comfortable, relaxed state. To ensure that all his patients have the ability to achieve their dental objectives, Dr. Eck offers sedation dentistry for every procedure he performs.
