Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry is the answer to many fearful patients' needing dental work. Our office has utilized these wonderful and safe medications for 15+ years.

 With the relaxation of sedation treatment you can complete the needed care with complete comfort and usually little or no memory of the time, although you are always conscious and cooperative.

 The medications used for sedation dentistry are rigorously tested to insure the patients' safety. We have had great success in helping our patients who consider dental work to be fearful. We also have patients that request sedation dentistry when a large amount of dental work is needed during one visit, or the patient has limited time available.

 Dr. Tipton is a member of DOCS, Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation,  and receives routine training to keep up-to-date on all of the advancements with Sedation Dentistry, as well as advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) training for patient's safety.

Here are some testimonials from our conscious sedation patients:

You have been a life saver for me.  All my life I have had really bad experiences with dentists.  They were so bad that I would not go until now.  Since coming to your office, every visit has been an excellent experience for me.  It works great!  My children and husband come to the office also and have first-rate visits.  My children are not uncomfortable about “going to the dentist” at all like I was as a child.  Thank you all for being so kind, considerate, gentle, and professional.

I am very satisfied with my dental treatment.  It completely alleviated all the stress!  None of the visit was unpleasant.  It was a very pleasant experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

It was the best dental experience I’ve had in my entire life!  I wish I had this type of experience years ago.  It was great!  My fear goes back to my childhood.  Since then, I have only gone to the dentist out of necessity.  I have tried other dentists, but none can even compare to Dr. Tipton’s office.  I thought I would begin with a consultation first.  I was treated exceptionally well by the ladies.  Dr Tipton was fantastic, too! There was no pressure to do any extra work.  I had 3 crowns, and an extraction and it all went great in one day!  This was a remarkably positive experience and the follow up was great!    The fee was reasonable for dental work, and I will return when needed with no fear.

My past thoughts on going to the dentist go like this:  “I would rather face a boatload of drug smugglers with machine guns, than go to the dentist.  After experiencing oral sedation a few times, I am now able to have my dental treatment without the medication.  Dr. Tipton and his staff definitely cater to cowards.   I would never go to any other office. That fear that I had for years is GONE!”  Rick Z., Rutledge, TN

 

Coming to Dr. Tipton and using oral sedation made a world of difference!  I was more relaxed when I realized I would not have any pain.  For me, the fear of pain is worse than the actual pain.  Without the fear, the visit was amazingly easy. I’ll be back!
