While our friendly team at Dunson Dental Design prides itself on creating a warm, comfortable, and relaxing environment for patients, we understand that many people experience anxiety during dental visits. Although this feeling isn't uncommon, it should never keep you from seeking the dental care you need to look and feel your very best. Conscious sedation dentistry minimizes the anxiety associated with a visit to the dental office. Combined with advanced methods in local anesthesia, sedation dentistry allows our patients from throughout Midtown and Downtown Atlanta to enjoy a more comfortable and relaxing experience during their treatment.
I have lived in Atlanta for 48 years and know a lot of professional people, especially DENTISTS. I have never had good teeth, so having visited the dentist many times, I feel I am qualified to judge a dentists performance. I was very impressed with the office staff and how efficient and courteous they were each and every time. Dr. Dunson is a master with his hands and he knows what he is doing and has the credentials to back it up. I was called to see how I was doing after each procedure. (I have never had that done before).
Now I can SMILE and not be embarrassed at how my teeth look. Thank you Dr. Dunson for my smile!!
- Doris Robinson- Associate Broker, Coldwell Banker“I would love to take this opportunity to thank you and applaud your staff. My history with dentists has not been pleasant, and I am paying the price now for poor dental health. It is extremely wonderful to feel valued and informed. The care started the minute I entered the door, whether it was a warm hello or a tissue for a tear!! Mercedas, Tiffany, Keonka, and Alysia are all true assets to your organization. They each possess a genuine spirit that exudes professionalism, care, and a commitment to ensure that the time spent with Dunson Dental Design is a good experience.
The tireless effort to make my last visit a pleasant one, did not go unnoticed. I thank each of you for any contribution you may have had in my stay in your office. I sincerely want to express my appreciation to you Dr.Dunson and the staff for all the "warm and fuzzies" that I was showered with during my last visit. It is because of your devotion to excellence I will always be a patient.”
- Angela GibsonWhat Is Sedation Dentistry?
During conscious sedation dentistry, the same treatment you would receive with traditional dentistry is conducted while you are in a "twilight sleep," and breathing comfortably on your own. You will be aware of what is going on around you, and will be able to answer when spoken to and adjust your position if necessary. After the procedure, however, you will usually have little memory of the dental experience. In addition, the recovery time is shorter than with general anesthesia, typically lasting 30 to 45 minutes after the procedure is complete. Patients are then released and able to return home.
Additional Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Because you will be so comfortable and free of anxiety and fatigue, Dr. Dunson can work even more efficiently and for a longer period than usual, often accomplishing in a single office visit what might normally require multiple visits, such as placement of multiple dental implants, porcelain veneers, fillings, or a combination of treatments. This also makes sedation dentistry at our office serving Midtown and Downtown Atlanta an ideal choice for people who prefer to undergo complex procedures in one office visit instead of having them spread out over several appointments. In addition, people who experience a strong gag reflex (which tends to interfere with dental treatment) will be freed from the problem, since such reflexes will be disabled during their "twilight sleep."
If you experience discomfort or fear when going to the dentist, or if your busy schedule makes fewer office visits desirable, sedation dentistry may be just what you're looking for. Dr. Dunson has performed countless procedures using sedation techniques, and he is certified in IV and oral conscious sedation by Miami Valley Medical College in Dayton, Ohio.
