Choosing Sedation Dentistry in Tempe AZ

Many dental offices now offer sedation dentistry in Arizona… so how do you pick the right office? You should always check and make sure you have a certified sedation dentist. Depending on what you’re looking for you may want a dentist who is certified in either oral sedation dentistry or IV sedation dentistry. At Tempe Dental Care, our dentists are certified in both types of sedation dentistry so they can provide the best service to our patients.

In addition to sedation dentistry certification, you want to look at the hours the dental office is open. If the office isn’t open during times you’re available, it will be difficult for you to make an appointment. At Tempe Dental Care, we’re open a variety of hours during the week to help you get either an early morning or late evening appointment if necessary.

Another thing to consider is if sedation dentistry is covered under your dental insurance. Since it is often considered an extra, your dental insurance may not cover it. This may open the doors for you to see a different dentist; however, you also want to consider the total cost of the procedure. Talk to the offices you’re considering to find the best solution for you. The staff at Tempe Dental Care can help you figure out how to make your sedation dentistry treatment the most affordable.

And finally, it is good to consider the dentist and dental staff of the office. If you have dental anxiety, fear, or phobia, the last thing you want to do is go to a sedation dental office where you are uncomfortable with the staff. Set up a consultation appointment to see how the dental staff treats you and to get comfortable with what will happen. This will help set you up for a great sedation dentist appointment.
