Milwaukee Sedation Dentistry - Dr. Peter Badalamenti - Milwaukee WI

Many people have little to no anxiety when it comes to dental care.  Some people can manage dental treatment with little more than some slight anxiety.  For still others however, going to the dentist is a lot more difficult.  If you or someone you love have ever avoided getting dental care out of anxiety, or if the thought of going to the dentist makes you nervous, then sedation dentistry could be for you. 

Dr. Badalamenti receives countless referrals from patients who have found their experience with sedation dentistry to be positively life changing.  Sedation dentistry allows a patient to be calm and drowsy while still remaining in control.  Often clients will equate sedation dentistry to relaxing on a beach.

Is Sedation Dentistry right for you?  It may be if:

• Involved dental treatment that normally takes several appointments can be completed in as little as one visit.
• You are someone with a stressful lifestyle, high anxiety, or a busy schedule and wish to complete treatment comfortably in less visits.
• You have a gag reflex.
• You have an aversion to dental sounds.
• You need a lot of anesthetic to get you numb.
• You have anxiety about seeing dental instruments.
• You've had negative dental experiences in the past.

How does Sedation Dentistry Work?

You will be given a sedative tranquilizer to take one hour prior to your dental appointment.  Your companion will accompany you to the office.  When you arrive in our office, you will be drowsy and you will be escorted to a warm comfortable chair and covered with a thick velvety blanket.  Your level of comfort, sedation, and vitals will be continually monitored with medical equipment so that your visit is completely safe.  After you are comfortable, Dr. Badalamenti and his experienced clinical team will take care of your sedation and dental needs.  You will remain in control but will be unaware of the treatment as if you were snoozing.  Afterwards you will have little to no memory of your appointment.  When your treatment is completed, your companion will take you home.  If needed, a car service can be arranged to get you home quickly and safely.
