Does Dr. Gomez offer IV sedation dentistry?
Yes. Dr. Gomez offers intravenous (IV) sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable during dental treatment. We have an onsite, board certified, anesthesiologist that works with our practice to provide this service to all of our patients.
IV sedation can help patients who experience dental anxiety, have difficulty sitting through procedures, require extensive dental work, or have avoided the dentist because of fear or discomfort.
With IV sedation, many patients feel deeply relaxed and may remember little or nothing about their procedure afterward.
Who can benefit from IV sedation dentistry?
IV sedation may be a good option for patients who:
- Experience dental fear or anxiety
- Have had negative dental experiences in the past
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Have difficulty sitting still during treatment
- Need multiple procedures completed
- Have special healthcare needs
- Are elderly or medically complex patients
- Need extensive restorative or implant treatment
Our goal is to help every patient receive the dental care they need in a safe and comfortable environment.
Does Dr. Gomez provide sedation for children?
Yes. Sedation dentistry can be helpful for children who experience dental anxiety, have difficulty sitting still, or require extensive dental treatment.
Dr. Gomez and the team work carefully with each child and family to determine the best approach for creating a positive dental experience.
Can IV sedation help patients with special needs?
Yes. Dr. Gomez has experience providing dental care for patients with special needs who may face challenges receiving traditional dental treatment.
Patients with physical or developmental disabilities may benefit from sedation because it can help them remain comfortable and allow necessary dental procedures to be completed more easily.
Our team is committed to ensuring that every patient has access to quality dental care regardless of their individual challenges.
How does IV sedation work?
IV sedation involves delivering medication through a small IV placed in a vein, usually in the hand or arm.
The medication works quickly to help patients relax while allowing the dental team to complete treatment comfortably. The level of sedation can be adjusted throughout the procedure based on the patient’s needs.
Before treatment, our team will review your medical history, explain the process, and provide instructions to help you prepare.
Does Dr. Gomez provide dental implants?
Yes. Dr. Gomez provides dental implant treatment to replace missing teeth and restore function, appearance, and confidence.
Dental implants can be used to replace:
- A single missing tooth
- Several missing teeth
- An entire arch of missing teeth
Implants provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, and implant-supported restorations.
What types of dental implants does Dr. Gomez offer?
Dr. Gomez provides several implant options, including:
- Single dental implants
- Multiple dental implants
- Implant-supported restorations
- All-on-4® implants (We work with a board certified oral surgeon for all “All on X” procedures)
- All-on-6 implants
During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss which option best fits your needs and goals.
What are All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are an advanced solution for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth.
This treatment uses strategically placed implants to support a fixed set of replacement teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported teeth remain securely attached, allowing patients to smile, chew, and speak with greater confidence.
Am I too old for dental implants?
Age alone does not determine whether you are a candidate for dental implants.
Many older adults benefit from implants because they provide improved stability compared with traditional dentures. During your consultation, we will evaluate your overall health, bone structure, and dental goals to determine whether implants are right for you.
