Mini dental implants are an exciting, affordable, and minimally invasive alternative to conventional dental implants. Our dentists are highly trained in performing gentle implant placements. However, it’s normal for patients to associate the dental chair with unpleasant experiences. That’s what makes sedation dentistry such a powerful tool. Sedation helps patients feel more comfortable and tolerate dental implant procedures more easily.
Dr. Albert A. Hazzouri Jr., Dr. Louis A. Genello, and Dr. Andrew J. Knott are all dedicated to prioritizing your comfort while you’re in the chair so you can enjoy a beautiful, complete smile.
Sedation Dentistry for Mini Implants: What You Need to Know
Dental anxiety is an often-overlooked barrier to care. Patients who have had bad dental experiences in the past often carry that anxiety with them for years to come. As a result, these patients are also at a higher risk of avoiding dental care later on, which can worsen oral health in the long term. If you’ve lost teeth as a result of avoiding the dentist due to fear, sedation dentistry may make the difference you need. Sedation may also help patients overcome discomfort from having to sit still for a long appointment or those who have a strong gag reflex.
At Hazzouri Dental, we offer oral conscious sedation to patients who struggle with dental anxiety or have trouble tolerating long procedures.
This kind of sedation is a medication that is prescribed beforehand. One of our dentists will instruct you to take it before the appointment to reduce anxiety. Since oral sedation can impair your judgment, you should arrange for someone else to drive you to and from the appointment. Patients who take oral sedation generally remain awake and able to respond. However, patients tend to report feeling very drowsy or relaxed, and some may have limited memory of the visit.
Sedation dentistry is just part of what helps you feel more comfortable when you choose Hazzouri Dental for your implants. Dr. Hazzouri is trained in the art of the minimally invasive mini dental implant. These smaller implants are placed through a much faster, gentler process. No invasive conventional surgery required! Our practice is Scranton’s only Mini Dental Implant Center of America. This makes us the central location for minimally invasive, comfortable dental implants.
Hear From Real Patients Who Overcame Their Dental Anxiety
Based on Dr. Hazzouri’s experience with mini implants, he consistently finds that patients experience minimal discomfort. But you don’t have to take us at our word. Listen to what patients have to say about their experiences.
In one five-star review, one patient noted how impressed they were with Dr. Hazzouri’s ability to complete the mini implant process very quickly, mentioning that “he gave me my smile back in 10 minutes… He’s precise and talented too!… If you hate sitting in dentist chairs for long periods, then go see him!”
Nancy Donatello gave an especially powerful review about overcoming her fear with Dr. Hazzouri’s support, allowing her to complete her smile with mini implants:
Everyone was so welcoming as I entered the dental office for the very first time but I must say that Dr.Hazzouri is surely the Star. He has a pleasant personality, very professional and I could tell he cares about his patients and the work that he performs. I had a mini tooth implant the very same day of my consultation that I had put off for one year due to being frightened of the procedure. He assured me that the procedure would be done quickly and efficiently and he was correct. Dr. Hazzouri gave me my smile back and I cannot thank him enough.
The high praise doesn’t stop with Dr. Hazzouri! Mary mentioned that after being with Hazzouri Dental for several years, she has “seen some of the other dentists as well and can say they are equally as great! I would never go anywhere else. Dr Hazzouri and staff have always made sure I’m okay and explained everything to me as I suffer from a horrible fear of dental work… They do exceptional work.”
We would love for you to join these happy patients who are now smiling confidently with beautiful teeth, thanks to our commitment to easing dental anxiety!
