Have you avoided the dentist because you have issues with your gums and teeth? Do you have severe decay, broken, chipped, or cracked teeth? No matter the condition of your teeth or oral health, we can develop a plan that will help you get your smile and oral health back.
Many patients come into our office feeling hopeless about their smiles and the condition of their teeth. Some are afraid or embarrassed to smile because the state of their teeth has become so extreme.
It takes a lot for most to get out of the house and come into the office.
Every patient is different and has a different set of needs. We take the time to sit down with you and detail what is needed to get your smile reconstructed and restored.
Once we agree on a course of action, we will start what is necessary to begin your treatment and get you headed in the right direction.
Not getting your smile reconstructed can only lead to things getting worse:
Dental experts advise patients to keep regular checkup appointments with their dentists to stay one step ahead of any potential oral health problems. Most people want to keep their body healthy, and one crucial way to ensure that happens is to catch dental problems in their early stages…a healthy body requires a healthy mouth.
As important as an at-home oral health regimen is, regular dental consultations and exams will enhance that cause. We can give you expert guidance and recommendations for your own best course of action.
For your convenience, we offer these three types of comfort and sedation dentistry:
This “laughing gas,” as most people know it, is used for simple fillings or routine cleaning treatments and is the most common form of sedation. Thanks to this simple form of sedation, your entire dental treatment can be a relaxing experience.
During IV Sedation, the patient’s vital signs are monitored throughout the entirety of the procedure, as the sedation is administered via IV. The patient will have been sleeping during the entire process, in this case, and will awaken only after the procedure.
Suppose a patient must return to school or work after completing the procedure. In that case, it will be especially beneficial for them to understand their need for sufficient recovery time before they leave.
We currently offer oral sedation for our patients who wish to remain conscience and yet come to us with gagging problems or a higher than average amount of fear and anxiety. Throughout the entire procedure, we closely monitor their vital signs once giving a combination of oral medications.
Once taking the oral medication we provide, the patient becomes highly relaxed and drowsy, and after their appointment, most patients remember nothing of the fear or anxiety they may have thought to experience without.
You will not be put to sleep with oral sedation, and during the entire procedure, you will be able to respond to Dr. Melancon and his team.
Patients who self-pay and contact us due to pain, such as those requiring root canal treatment, fillings, or crowns, will incur a $75 charge for their appointment. This fee encompasses the examination and x-ray essential for diagnosis. Excludes patients with dental insurance.
New patients, paying out of pocket, who schedule a cleaning will be charged $175 for a basic cleaning. This fee covers an examination, two sets of x-rays, and a regular cleaning. Excludes deep cleaning procedures and patients with insurance.
New patients, paying out of pocket, requiring an extraction will incur a charge of $205. This includes the cost of X-rays, an examination, and the extraction procedure itself. Excludes patients with insurance.
