How Summit Dental Group Makes Procedures Painless
Drs. Mitchell and Schneider focus on creating a welcoming, safe, and comfortable treatment environment for their patients. This includes open communication, where the patient feels heard and cared for as they share their anxieties and concerns about their treatment. Our dentists spend ample time reviewing procedures with patients in advance, so that on the day of treatment there are never any surprises.
We also offer sedation dentistry, with different levels of relaxation tailored to each patient's unique needs. Here are the options:
- Nitrous oxide — Also known as laughing gas because of the euphoric feeling it creates as it "takes the edge off" during dental procedures. Nitrous oxide is safe for adults and children and doesn't leave lingering side effects, so patients can drive home after treatment and return to their normal daily activities.
- Oral sedation — For patients who need a deeper level of sedation, we offer an oral option delivered through medication taken an hour before the procedure. Since this is a deeper level of sedation, you'll need to arrange transportation to and from your dental appointment and plan to take the rest of the day off to recover.
