Periodontics is a specialty within the field of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) diseases. It is a specialty that meets a widespread need. Periodontal disease strikes three out of four people and causes roughly 70 percent of all adult tooth loss. Frequently painless, it is a disease that can often be detected only by a dentist or dental hygienist.
When tooth loss occurs, dental implants can be used to stabilize and support replacement teeth. Dental implants replace a tooth's roots and provide an anchor for the replacement teeth.
Dentures and bridges that are anchored by dental implants can be as permanent and sturdy as natural teeth and in some cases, even more so. As a result, dental implants return a sense of self-confidence and well-being to patients' lives by providing stability similar to natural teeth.
Sedation Dentistry
To help fearful patients overcome their anxiety, sedation dentistry is available at Dr. Nemeth’s practice. Drs. Nemeth and Katranji believe strongly that all of their patients should have the option to be in as relaxed a state as possible while undergoing their dental procedures.
Conscious sedation dentistry allows Drs. Nemeth and Katranji to perform the work you need while you relax. They can accomplish in one visit what might otherwise have taken several appointments. Gum treatment, implant placement, smile enhancement, and other procedures can be completed while you relax comfortably.
Dental sedation techniques include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and intravenous sedation. Many patients perefer nitrous oxide, which is a gas that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small nose piece during a procedure.
With oral conscious sedation, administered before an appointment, the patient takes a small pill that produces a delightful feeling of relaxation and NO memory of the procedure. For patients with special needs or those requiring lengthy visits, intravenous (IV) sedation is available. IV sedation is administered through a vein at the time of the procedure to ensure a patient's maximum relation and comfort. Oral sedation and IV sedation are not general anesthesia, which we do not do in the office, and they are extremely safe. With oral and IV sedation, vital signs are monitored closely and recorded throughout the procedure.
Feel free to discuss your sedation options with Drs. Nemeth and Katranji before your procedure. Their goal is to make your experience as comfortable and anxiety-free as possible.
