Unfortunately, continually delaying your dental care will only lead to further problems down the line &#8212; which can cause bigger problems <\/span><span class=\"s2\">that<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> require more complex treatments than might have been necessary from the start. And time and time again, dentists are asking themselves one thing &#8212; how can we keep that from happening? We know the answer. It\u2019s by providing judgment-free care. Our patients know they can visit Capital Smiles for a fresh start. Even if it has been years &#8212; or decades &#8212; since your last dental visit, our team will always start from where you are right now. No judgment, no questions, and no shame. The best news is that you are starting today!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">We Can Turn Any Smile Around<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">No matter how significant your smile damage is, we can help you achieve a full 360-degree transformation with the help of quality services in general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry.

These techniques may be especially valuable for those who have not been to the dentist in a while &#8212; and after one appointment with the help of sedation, you could see that it\u2019s not so bad after all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Our sedation dentistry options include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Nitrous oxide sedation (also known as \u201claughing gas\u201d) which produces a light and tingly feeling throughout your dental treatment. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Oral conscious sedation is a slightly deeper form of sedation that removes you from the sights, smells, and sounds of what is going on around you. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">IV sedation is <\/span><span class=\"s2\">ideal<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> for complete, comprehensive treatments performed at our office. This provides the deepest level of relaxation, under which you may fall into a light slumber. Dr. Page is one of only a <\/span><span class=\"s2\">very limited number of general <\/span><span class=\"s1\">dentists in the <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Greater <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Capital District Area who are able to offer this service. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">No matter which form of sedation is right for you, <\/span><span class=\"s2\">sedation dentistry <\/span><span class=\"s1\">is a great option <\/span><span class=\"s2\">to help you relax during your dental procedures.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">To conclude, we are happy to provide judgment-free dental care for our patients.
