Are You a Nervous Patient? We Can Help…

We use the latest and most advanced sedation techniques to keep you comfortable during treatment. When you first visit our dental office, Dr. Navid Rahmani will gently examine your mouth to assess if you have gum disease and can then recommend the most suitable course of treatment. This initial visit will also give you an opportunity to discuss your dental fears and it is important to remember that no treatment will be provided at this point and that it will be merely an examination that you can stop at any time.

Sedation Dentistry Can Help Fight Dental Fears

Sedation dentistry is a way of ensuring you feel relaxed enough to receive dental treatment. This can also be useful for anyone who intends to have a lot of treatment in one appointment or who is thinking about having multiple dental implants inserted. You might also hear sedation dentistry being called sleep dentistry even though this isn’t quite technically true. While sedation dentistry will keep you relaxed, you should be able to still communicate with Dr. Rahmani and our dental team during your treatment but you are unlikely to remember very much about treatment once the sedative has worn off. It all depends on the degree of sedation provided, as for example you can have minimal sedation where you will be fully relaxed but awake, or deeper sedation where you will feel quite sleepy but we will still be able to wake you during treatment.

Best Treatments for Gum Disease in NYC

If you do indeed have periodontal or gum disease then you can rest assured that you will receive the best possible treatment as Dr. Rahmani is a periodontist in Midtown Manhattan, NYC and is best qualified to treat your gums. We will ensure that every treatment is given in a very gentle manner and it’s quite possible we may recommend laser dentistry as part of your treatment plan. Our dental laser is one of the most advanced on the market and we often recommend this type of treatment as it is very gentle and non-invasive and can be much easier for nervous patients to cope with. Afterwards healing times are faster and there is less discomfort. If you require surgery then we offer a range of the most advanced techniques that will help restore your gum health. Quite often we find patients who were previously nervous about visiting a dentist find it easier as time goes on, particularly as their dental health is restored and they are able to overcome their dental fears and phobias about treatment.

Dental fears are incredibly common and you will find our dental team is extremely sympathetic towards anyone with this problem. There is no need to feel anxious just because you haven’t seen a dentist in a while as we just want to make sure you have healthy gums and a nice smile.
