It's been the experience of our dental practice that people from all walks of life... of all ages.. sometimes develop certain anxieties towards certain dental procedures. Since everyone is basically "different" and possesses different cumulative experiences towards dentistry in general, there can be varying degrees of comfort experienced or not experienced by some patients.

Understanding popular avoidance behavior

Dr. Calilung recognized the special needs of many patients who seek to have a truly pleasureable experience long ago. Many patients would purposely avoid dental care even in situations where they knew certain dental conditions might be worsening.

For some, it is not uncommon for people to avoid seeing a dentist for years and years... only to undergo a variety complicated dental procedures that at one time weren't really needed.

Dr. Calilung made the commitment to be able to treat anyone with just about any type of dental need while in a "patient defined" level of relaxation. The Doctor underwent specialized training through a nationally recognized training resource (DOCS). His dental operatories were equipped with state of the art sedation equipment thereby assuring their patients the most pleasurable, safest and secure dental care possible.

Popular advantages of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry offers immense benefits to all patients, irrespective of their need for a managing perhaps a certain dental anxiety. Oral sedation can produce a level of true relaxation that enables our Doctors to perform multiple procedures without any discomfort whatsoever (although this varies from patient to patient).

Time frames for treatment plans that might have required weeks or months.. can be completed in a matter of days, for some patients. For the busy executive this can be an attractive feature.

Busy lifestyles and sedated dental care

Sedation dentistry is the perfect solution for people with active lifestyles and even busy business executives: people who don't have the time... or can't seem to set aside time during work schedules to obtain the routine dental care they need.

Practically any dental procedure can be used in conjunction with varying levels of sedation. The sedation experience can accomodate almost any lifestyle, work schedule or other type of time frame. Many of our patients rely on sedation dentistry to maintain true optimal and efficient dental care that literally prevents serious dental problems from every occuring.
