Sedation Dentistry - Hagerstown, MD
Achieve Peace of Mind and
a Healthy Smile with Dental Anesthesia
Gentle Sedation Helps Alleviate Worrying
According to research, between 50 and 80% of adults in the U.S. have some degree of dental anxiety. At Smile Design Centre, we combine positivity, comfortable amenities, and minimally invasive sedation dentistry to help patients overcome dental anxiety. In addition to alleviating dental fear, a big advantage of dental anesthesia in Hagerstown, MD is that most patients feel like their dental procedure lasted a few minutes, even when it took a couple of hours. Sedation dentistry also enables withstanding longer periods in the dental chair, so procedures that typically require multiple visits can be performed in fewer and briefer appointments. This makes it a perfect option for more complex dental procedures, such as full-mouth dental implants. If you’re looking for soothing sedation anesthesia near you, we have your needs covered!

Your Dental Anesthesia Options
Sedation Dentistry Protects More Than Smiles
Avoiding dental care can have serious consequences that impact your oral and whole-body health. Without proper dental care, bad oral bacteria can make teeth more prone to severe decay. When teeth can’t be saved, the gaps can cause functional and aesthetic repercussions and the need for dental bridges or implants. Neglecting professional dental care also leads to gum disease. If gum disease advances to periodontitis, oral bacteria can spread to other parts of the body, causing systemic infections and complications, especially if you have diabetes, respiratory disease, or heart disease.
