Oral Conscious Sedation

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Oral Conscious Sedation Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, sedation dentistry can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider dental sedation if you have any of the following issues:

  • Strong gag reflex
  • Fear of needles
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • A history of negative dental experiences
  • Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related condition
  • Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call. We can give you more information about sedation options and help you determine which one is right for you. At San Mateo Center for Cosmetic Dentistry we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.

Love Your Smile in San Mateo

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Love Your Smile in San Mateo There is nothing like bright white teeth that light up a person’s whole face when they smile and laugh. No one has to settle for dull, yellow teeth.

This is a great time to get a deep teeth cleaning and tooth whitening at Michael A. Wong, DDS in San Mateo. With a deep cleaning followed by teeth bleaching, your teeth will feel as good as they look.

If you have an important upcoming event such as a wedding, party or formal family portrait sitting, a smile makeover will give you extra confidence as you pose for photos (even close-ups).

San Mateo teeth bleaching can whiten teeth beyond their natural shade. At our cosmetic dentistry practice, we don’t use a conventional shade chart for our whitening clients anymore. You have probably seen the porcelain tabs in graduated shades that dentists use to determine appropriate, yet natural looking, shades for tooth restorations. We now use a shade guide with levels significantly whiter than the guides we have used in the past. Tooth whitening is not a gimmick; it is safe and incredibly effective. California tooth bleaching clients can maintain a white shade that equals the brightness of the ‘tooth’ models you see in dental marketing.

San Mateo tooth whitening following twice-yearly cleanings is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure. Tooth bleaching is comparable to the cost of a professional hair weaving and cut, but when you consider the transformation; there is no comparison! Flash your gorgeous, sparkling smile, and no one will even notice your hair.

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

  • Fear of needles;
  • A powerful gag reflex;
  • Difficulty controlling body movement;
  • Lengthy multi-procedure visits;
  • Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections.
