Visiting the dentist can be an overwhelming experience for many individuals. Dental anxiety is a common concern, with studies suggesting that between 9% to 20% of Americans avoid seeing a dentist due to fear or discomfort. Unfortunately, this often leads to neglected oral health and more severe dental issues over time.
At Montz and Maher Dental Group, we understand these concerns and are committed to providing a stress-free experience for patients. Through our comforting environment, personalized care, and advanced sedation dentistry, we aim to help patients manage their fears and take control of their oral health.
The Importance of Addressing Dental Anxiety
Avoiding dental care due to anxiety can have serious health consequences. Untreated cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay can lead to infections, tooth loss, and even heart disease. However, dental visits don’t have to be stressful. With the right support, they can be manageable—even enjoyable. Our goal is to provide effective treatments in a setting that prioritizes relaxation and comfort.

We take a patient-centered approach to ensure every visit is as comfortable as possible. Our office offers relaxing amenities like cozy blankets and headphones, gentle and personalized care from an experienced team, and a judgment-free environment where all patients are treated with compassion and respect.
Sedation Dentistry Options
For patients needing extra support during dental procedures, we offer three sedation options tailored to different levels of anxiety:
- Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide): Ideal for mild anxiety, this sedation method is inhaled through a mask and provides immediate relaxation. Its effects wear off quickly, allowing patients to resume their day as usual.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: Best for moderate anxiety, this involves taking a prescribed pill before the appointment. Patients remain awake but deeply relaxed, with little memory of the procedure afterward.
- IV Sedation: For severe dental phobia or multiple procedures in one visit, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. Administered through a vein, it helps patients feel as if they’ve slept through their appointment.
FAQs About Sedation Dentistry
- Is sedation dentistry safe? Yes, when administered by trained professionals. Our team carefully reviews your medical history before recommending any sedation method.
- Will I feel anything during my procedure? Depending on the sedation option chosen, you will feel calm and relaxed, and may not remember much of the procedure at all.
- How do I know which sedation option is right for me? Our team will assess your anxiety level, dental needs, and medical history to determine the best sedation method for you.
