Afraid of going to the dentist?

Dental anxiety is more common than you think with 75 percent of adults suffering from some level of dental phobia or dental fear. Dental sedation in Laguna Hills helps people relax while having dental treatments.

While most dentists use oral sedation in pill form or other options, Saddleback dentistry takes it one step further with sleep dentistry and general anesthesia in Laguna Hills.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

For patients with severe dental fear, Dr. Dean Garcia and Dr. Ryan Conkle recommend sleep dentistry.

General anesthesia puts the patient to sleep. That means he or she will not feel or remember a thing during the procedure or procedures.

General anesthesia sleep dentistry is an excellent alternative for children.

People who are nervous or afraid of dental procedures are excellent candidates for sleep dentistry.
