If you dread sedation dentistry, you are not alone. Fear of going to the dentist affects over 150,000 Americans. The fear of pain, embarrassment, a lack of control, and other concerns contribute to dental anxiety. We have a wonderful solution if you dread going to the dentist: sedation dentistry. It’s available right here in Roseville, conveniently located close to Sacramento, Folsom, Granite Bay, Rocklin and Lincoln. Sedation dentistry can literally change the way you view dental work!

Sedation dentistry enables us to literally do years of dental treatment in one or two visits. We can replace dentures or crowns, whiten teeth, fix chipped teeth—just about any dental procedure can be more comfortable with sedation dentistry. Besides being great for dental phobics, patients with very busy schedules can get the dental care they need, easily and quickly, in only one or two visits.
