A kind and authentically caring demeanor. A warm, well-appointed office. Soothing aromatherapy. Calming music. Our patients from California and other parts of the U.S. and world encounter these amenities and features at Beverly Hills Advanced Specialties of Dentistry. However, as specialists, our team also has access to advanced technologies and capabilities that further support the most relaxing, comfortable, and safe experience at our specialty practice.
Notably, our globally-known endodontist, Dr. Fanny Yacaman, distinguishes herself from other dental offices as one of the select providers who have acquired the training and expertise to offer oral conscious sedation. Dr. Yacaman is certified to prescribe a sedative medication that is selected based on your unique needs, medical history, and other factors.
Simply take the pill as prescribed by Dr. Yacaman. This medication will induce a state of relaxation. You won’t feel nervous, fearful, or apprehensive anymore. In addition to carefully selecting an appropriate medication for you, Dr. Yacaman can also tailor the dosage to your needs. These characteristics make oral conscious sedation a versatile and viable option for many different types of patients.
She will review everything to expect before, during, and after your treatment. Since these medications can lead to drowsiness that lingers after your treatment, it is essential for our patients to arrange for someone to drive them to and from our office. It is not safe to operate any machinery due to these lingering effects. Patients appreciate that they do not “go under.” They remain awake and conscious. They may become very sleepy and doze off. However, patients can easily be nudged awake and communicate with and respond to our team.
For patients who do not want to have any recollection of the process and who may be experiencing deeper-seated or more intense dental fear, Beverly Hills Advanced Specialties of Dentistry can discuss IV (intravenous) sedation. For utmost safety, we enlist the expertise of one of the region’s top anesthesiologists.
In addition to easing reactions to common dental “triggers,” our sedative options may also be administered to support complex or lengthy treatments. In fact, Dr. Yacaman can do more in less time when patients are relaxed and their bodies and minds are at ease.
We encourage you to share any concerns or fears with us. We look forward to remedying them and introducing you to modern specialty care that is absolutely nothing to fear and that sustains your healthiest and most beautiful smile. Call our office in Beverly Hills, CA, today at (310) 861-3955.
