Welcome to Marcel Dental Medical Specialist Dental Care

---

We want all patients to have a comfortable experience in the office. Therefore, Marcel Dental Medical Specialists offers sedation dentistry services customized to your unique needs. Our dental services will minimize your anxiety and worries.

Dental sedation is a viable option to put you in a relaxed and sedated state during your visit. Many patients report feeling calmer and more comfortable during treatments. Sedation also helps combine multiple visits into one or fewer appointments, adding more convenience to you, the patient.

IV sedation, also known as twilight  or sleep sedation, is most often used for more invasive procedures. If you suffer from extreme anxiety with regular dental cleanings and routine care then this is a great option to maintain your oral health and receive quality care.

The following are common reasons our patients consider sedation dentistry:

• General fear of going to the dentist
• Phobia related to dental procedures
• Special needs patients
• Fear and general anxiety disorder
• Having a low pain threshold
• Small mouth that becomes sore during procedures
• Anxieties and panic
• Having a sensitive gag reflex
• Needing many complex treatments

Whatever the reasons, our dentists can provide the best dental care minus the anxiety through sedation.

Side effects of sedation dentistry are rare. Dr. Perry Marcel and his anesthesia team will gather all your medical history, pertinent information, and any known allergies so that the chances of side effects following IV and oral sedation are limited. This helps to counter any complications.

A general feeling of grogginess and tiredness is common with oral conscious sedation. As it wears off, some patients may experience “dry mouth.” Others complain of dizziness or fatigue and possible headache which all diminish rapidly.

Your safety is of the utmost concern to Dr. Perry Marcel and his anesthesia team. As a patient, it is vital that you research your dentist’s training and education. Dr. Perry Marcel has received extensive training in oral sedation and IV sedation in a Residency. Sedation can be used in all treatments for dentistry to make the experience more comfortable. Being comfortable during root canals, extractions, implants, and many other dental treatments make a difference to the patient’s overall experience.

Cost is often a deciding factor for a patient. Most insurance plans do not cover sedation dentistry or sleep dentistry. Insurance companies classify it as an elective procedure. Our Ofiice can provide you with cost at your initial appointment.  Oral sedation is a pill form of sedation taken before treatment and provides a mild but effective sedative. IV sedation is stronger and works best on incredibly anxious patients or patients with special needs. This form of sedation is done by Dr Perry Marcel certified in anesthesia training residency, who safely and effectively places you to sleep without intubation (or general anesthesia).
