Sedation Dentistry Procedures in BrentwoodDental anxiety is experienced by most people in one form or another. For some... it is embarrassing and can eventually become quite debilitating and actually develop into a phobia. Extreme cases can end up forcing patients to avoid treatment.Common Signs of Dental AnxiousnessPatients who have a history of not being able to find "just the right dentist" who can help them overcome their phobia and all of their phobic responses (white knuckle dental chair grip, sweating, faintness, dizziness, ringing in the ears, etc) typically develop treatment needs that can become severe.Volumes of journals have been written on how anxiety responses develop and is probably good for academic discussion. People in need of critical dental care or even basic dentistry are more interested in how to overcome their uneasiness so they can restore the oral health they want. Result Oriented Treatment for EveryoneIn our office we provide create successful solutions for practically any type and degree of "uneasiness." A variety of sedation products are used... and are indeed important. Having the right comfortable and relaxing environment... with the right dentist is however probably more important.Successful Phobia TreatmentDental Anxiety Case StudyMeet our patient Nancy. She had a long standing history of "white knuckle" dentistry anxiety and had even tried working with "sedation dentists"... all to no avail.
Much of her fear, Nancy revealed, was based on the fear of pain. The mere anticipation of hurt elevated the anxiety she felt. She could no longer tolerate taking shots, hearing and feeling a dental drill, the background odors and hearing the typical background noises of a dental office.Nancy needed treatment badly... she avoided treatment for a few years. She knew she needed treatment in a nontraditional setting and needed a sedation dentist that would be better than any other sedation dentist she had in the past. Nancy discovered Dr. Muslin on the internet. She mentioned that having a unique operatory environment and having certain credentials that few dentists possess prompted her to make an appointment. Environment - Attention to DetailDr. Muslin's unique dental environment... consisting of ultra quiet and sealed, air tight rooms, complete with multimedia TV's in the ceiling appealed to Nancy. She immediately felt, somehow, that she found the environment she needed. Her discussions with the doctor and staff provided more evidence of attention to detail.... something she never experienced before.The photo above is an After Photo. Nancy has a pleasant appearing smile that she feels is a natural fit for her. Close up photos below, both before and after, will reveal more detail of the dental problems she had. 
Practical Sedated Anxiety Free DentistryNancy's dental goals were very practical. She wanted strong healthy comfortable teeth. Her dentition was quite poor and required multiple root canals. Nancy was amazed that all of her root canals were literally pain free... both during and after treatment. No pain pills!
Additionally.. Nancy needed several crowns and posts... which were all performed by Dr. Muslin. Close monitoring of Bite-Occlusion issues and consults with the ceramist assured a TMJ free outcome.Functional Goal with a Cosmetic OutcomeAlthough Nancy had initially stated that she was not focused on Cosmetic Dentistry per se... she admitted later, after treatment... that she felt a lot better. She added that her new teeth felt better than her real teeth. In Nancy's own words... she said...Sedation Patient Testimony"I absolutely love my teeth and did not think they could be this good."Contact Dr. Muslin at (310) 829-6796 to learn more about his sedation dentistry and how a one-of-a-kind dental office environment and sensitive attention to detail can provide the opportunity you may be looking for in obtaining the dental care (cosmetic and reconstructive) you are avoiding... for whatever reason.
