Oct 31, 2013 /prREACH/ -- Studies show that more than 15 percent of American suffer from dental anxiety to some degree, with some experiencing so much fear of the dentist that they avoid professional care altogether. Dr. Leif Loberg recently introduced IV sedation at his Laguna Hills, CA dental office to provide patients with dental anxiety the chance to have a stress-free visit for much needed care.
“Dental anxiety is a real condition and unfortunately it prevents many patients from following through with their appointments or even making them in the first place,” said Dr. Leif Loberg, Laguna Hills, CA sedation dentist. “We are excited to now offer IV sedation because we can give our patients a much more enjoyable visit along with a healthy smile that’s vital to their overall health as well.”
Sights, sounds, smells, and the fear of pain are many common reasons why patients are apprehensive about visiting the dentist. With IV sedation, patients are still conscious, however, they are much less aware of their surrounding activities because of its rapid relaxation effect. Patients are able to respond to verbal comments, breathe on their own, and their vital signs are consistently monitored throughout the procedure.
As a highly experienced dental implants dentist at Loberg Professional Dental Corporation in Laguna Hills, CA, Dr. Loberg is very familiar with sedation techniques and is able to provide it for a variety of procedures. IV sedation is an excellent choice for patients who have extreme dental fear, gagging problems, or difficulty getting numb. It is also effective for those patients who need extensive work completed in one visit or who have very low pain tolerance.
Dr. Loberg evaluates each patient to determine if they are good candidates for IV sedation. Patients are provided with a warm blanket and comfortable setting when having the IV administered. After their state of deep relaxation during the procedure, most patients have little to no memory that their dental work ever occurred.
In addition to dental implants and restorative care, Dr. Loberg also provides a variety of other cosmetic procedures that don’t require the use of IV sedation. Dr. Loberg is a certified Invisalign dentist in Laguna Hills, CA and also provides the latest teeth whitening solutions.
Dr. Loberg is a graduate of New York University College of Dentistry and is a licensed dentist in both California and Ontario, Canada. He has been practicing for nearly 15 years and is committed to incorporating cutting edge technology at his practice. He is highly involved in giving back to the community, and annually hosts Dentistry from the Heart, where he provides free dental care to Orange County residents. Dr. Loberg has received numerous awards for his excellence in implantology and prosthodontics, including the Waterpik Prosthodontic Award.
