Several factors influence the experience that patients have at the dentist’s office. These factors include office amenities, the dental team’s approach to care, and chairside techniques and technologies. Led by Endodontist Dr. Fanny Yacaman and Prosthodontist Dr. Frank Vidjak, Beverly Hills Advanced Specialties of Dentistry offers a “spa-like” environment that exudes warmth and relaxation. Our friendly team in Beverly Hills, California, goes the extra mile to make you feel at ease.
Last but certainly not least, we use sophisticated diagnostic and treatment technologies and micro-dentistry techniques to support the most conservative and pleasant process possible. Such approaches are generally painless, gentle, and efficient. They also support optimal treatment outcomes and results that last.
Our specialists are also qualified to offer a range of sedative options to patients for utmost relaxation. Other dental offices may only offer “laughing gas” or nitrous oxide. For instance, Dr. Yacaman is certified in oral conscious sedation, which is another way of saying that she prescribes a specific calming medication to a patient. These medications are taken orally or by mouth.
Additionally, our center is equipped to offer IV sedation. The sedative medication is administered intravenously through a vein. We partner with a certified anesthesiologist to assure the safest procedure possible. The patient’s vitals are also monitored when deep sedation is needed. IV sedation, also known as “sleep dentistry,” as patients fall asleep during treatment, may be necessary for patients with more severe “dentophobia” or dental fear and patients who are undergoing lengthy treatments or complex procedures.
Creating a pleasant experience at the dentist’s office is an absolute must. Follow-up dental visits protect the teeth and gums from disease and damage. Diseased gums and damaged teeth can affect everything from what we eat and the quality of our sleep to how well we perform at school or work. Furthermore, oral diseases have been connected to numerous systemic diseases. The inflammation and bacteria associated with heart disease, for instance, are also present among patients with advanced gum disease (periodontitis).
Dental specialists, like our team at Beverly Hills Advanced Specialties of Dentistry, promote an inviting environment and a comfortable experience that you will want to return to, which in turn also promotes oral health and overall well-being.
