Sedation Dentistry
With safe, effective sedation dentistry, you can get the dental work you need and the smile you deserve, comfortably and without fear. Oral sedation has been used safely for more than thirty years to perform millions of dental procedures. At Capital Smiles, Dr. Lieberman is certified by the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) and New York State to administer sedatives to patients who experience dental anxiety. We also use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to promote a calming experience.
With sedation dentistry, you’ll enjoy a comfortable experience and leave with pleasant memories of your visit. If you’ve delayed dental care for many years, you’re not alone. Many of our patients haven’t visited a dentist in more than five years, and some as many as thirty or more. Dr. Lieberman will begin your visit with a comprehensive examination and a discussion of your dental needs without creating embarrassment or judging you. He will then create a customized treatment plan to safely and effectively restore your oral health. We’ll teach you all about our proposed treatment options, and our CAESY Patient Education System provides additional information about our therapies. A wax model of your proposed new smile gives you a 3D model to touch and feel, letting your envision your new look. If you fully understand your treatment options, you will feel more confident in your oral healthcare decisions.
On the day of your appointment, you'll take a small amount of medication. After you enter a state of relaxation, we’ll restore your treasured smile, often in just one visit. You’ll be monitored throughout your visit. Be sure to bring along a friend or family member to drive you home.
Call for more information about sedation dentistry or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lieberman. If you’re interested in sedation dentistry, we’ll include an educational CD and an informational brochure. Our Schenectady office serves residents of Albany, Troy, Saratoga, and surrounding areas.
…On the day of my appointment, I took a pill an hour before my arrival time and, by the time I got to Dentist, I was feeling totally relaxed. I had no hesitation or nervousness. I have a few memories of my appointment on that day, but none of it is associated with pain. I had no pain the next day. My fear of the dentist has subsided because I know that I can have pain-free dental procedures, if necessary". -S.S.
