Sedation
One of the most prominent disadvantages of dentistry is that patients may feel anxious about receiving care. Historically, little has been said about dental anxiety. Patients who expressed concerns may have been offered suggestions like listening to music during their dental visits. If you struggle with dental anxiety, you know this is little more than lip service. In our Milwaukee office, we take advantage of dental innovation by using mild sedation techniques upon request. Sedation services such as nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation quickly calm nerves and promote more pleasant dental visits.
Dental Implants
Tooth replacement in any form is relatively new in terms of effectiveness. Ancient Egyptians had the idea right but didn’t have the practical solution that was necessary for long-term gains. Now, many centuries later, we have moved well beyond using shells to replace missing teeth. The gold standard of care involves placing surgical-grade titanium posts into the jawbone to restore a firm chewing foundation. Our training and experience enable us to replace any number of teeth with dental implants. It is now even possible to restore function and an attractive smile in the event of bone loss.
Dentistry has been a centuries-long practice in trial and error. Fortunately, we are past the steep learning curve and into a mature practice that can effectively prevent, repair, and cosmetically enhance teeth in ways that are comfortable and safe.
We love helping our patients discover and support the best aspects of their smile. To schedule a visit with us, call 414-377-5711.
