Sedation Dentistry
For many patients, dental visits can be associated with stress or anxiety. Even routine treatments can feel overwhelming if you have had past negative experiences or simply find the dental environment unsettling. Dr. Jon Marashi understands these concerns, which is why he offers advanced sedation dentistry techniques at his Los Angeles practice. By using approaches often referred to as sleep dentistry, he helps patients remain calm and comfortable throughout their appointments. Whether you’re undergoing a simple cleaning, a restorative procedure, or a full smile makeover, Dr. Marashi ensures that you receive care in a relaxed, anxiety-free setting.
As a high-end cosmetic dentist in LA, Dr. Marashi tailors sedation options to each patient’s comfort level and treatment needs:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A safe, inhaled sedation method that induces a mild sense of calm while allowing you to remain fully awake and responsive. The effects wear off quickly, making it a convenient option for patients who want to resume their day without lingering drowsiness.
- Oral Sedation: A prescription medication taken before the appointment to achieve a deeper sense of relaxation. This method is ideal for patients with moderate dental anxiety, helping them feel at ease even before they arrive at the office.
- IV Sedation: A controlled, deeper level of sedation that allows patients to rest comfortably with minimal awareness of the procedure. Perfect for those undergoing complex or lengthy treatments.
Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?
Choosing sedation dentistry can be especially beneficial if you have a complex treatment plan, multiple procedures scheduled in one visit, or have simply avoided dental care due to fear or discomfort. By removing the emotional and physical barriers that often prevent individuals from seeking proper oral care, Dr. Marashi ensures that more patients can achieve the healthy, beautiful smiles they deserve. His expertise in sleep dentistry not only alleviates anxiety, but also enhances the overall efficiency of treatments, often reducing the number of visits needed to complete comprehensive restorations or cosmetic transformations.
In addition to sedation techniques, Dr. Marashi’s LA practice is known for its commitment to delivering extraordinary care. Over time, factors such as diet, lifestyle habits, or accidents can lead to chipped, discolored, or worn teeth. As a renowned dentist specializing in world-class restorative dentistry, he designs customized treatment plans that consider both form and function. Patients appreciate the meticulous attention to detail, and the results speak for themselves, naturally radiant smiles that blend seamlessly with each patient’s individual facial features.
Ultimately, sedation dentistry and sleep dentistry are not just about alleviating fear. They represent Dr. Marashi’s dedication to creating a personalized, patient-centered environment. Through this comprehensive approach, he ensures that everyone, regardless of their level of anxiety, can receive top-quality care, maintain their oral health, and enjoy the confidence that comes with a stunning, well-cared-for smile.
