Relax at Potranco Dental & Braces

Dental Anxiety

Feeling anxious about your next dental visit? Sedation dentistry can help you!

Dental anxiety is a very common problem. Even people who work at dental offices experience dental phobia!

Vanessa is a Potranco Dental & Braces team member who worked with us for over a year before she built up the nerve to get in the chair for a dental cleaning. She’d had traumatic experiences in the past, and the team at Potranco Dental & Braces did a great job making her feel at home and putting her at ease.

Our hygienists and dentists will review all the treatment & processes planned beforehand, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Beyond that, you’ll be relaxed by our calming atmosphere; including warm scented towels, beverage bar, TVs in the treatment rooms, a computer station, and much more.

FACT: Dentophobia is a very common fear in the U.S.

Conscious Sedation is Available

At Potranco Dental & Braces, we offer conscious sedation to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your dental visit. With conscious sedation, you remain awake and responsive throughout your procedure, but experience a deep sense of calm that helps ease anxiety and worry. This sedation option is ideal for patients who feel nervous about dental work, have difficulty sitting still for extended periods, or are undergoing more complex procedures. Before administering any sedation, we carefully review your complete health history, including all medications and supplements you’re taking, as well as important lifestyle factors.

After determining that you’re a good candidate for conscious sedation, we’ll walk you through all the steps to prepare for your appointment. At Potranco Dental & Braces, we carefully screen all sedation patients because your health and safety come first.
