Charlotte's Pain Free Dentistry

Are you afraid of the dentist?  Does the thought of dentist make you nervous?  Then sedation dentistry- also sometimes called twilight or sleep dentistry is for you.  Sedation is a process where we administer medicines to reduce anxiety and apprehension in order for you to be relaxed during the procedure without worry or pain.  It will last long enough to safely complete the dental procedure.

Benefits of sedation dentistry

·         Feeling no pain during the dental process.

·         You will stay calm and at rest during the procedure, making it easier for your Charlotte cosmetic dentists to complete the dental work on time without any hassle and unwanted movements.

Mode of sedation

·         In the form of a tablet that the patient will drink upon arriving at the dentist’s office.

·         In the form of gas for inhalation, which is more popularly known as the laughing gas.

·         In the form of an injection or intravenous (IV).

Sedatives will be administered in the office, sometimes just before coming to the office or even the night before.  After the procedure, you will be allowed to rest before you leave the practice.  It is best to come to the dental facility with a friend or a family member to drive you to and from the dentist to assure a safe travel for certain types of sedation dentistry.

NuCalm: A Charlotte Dentist’s Tool for Comfortable Cosmetic Dentistry

NuCalm, the revolutionary new technology, has been proven to naturally put a patient at ease. Ballantyne Center for Dentistry, your Charlotte cosmetic dentist, is thrilled to be able to offer this technology to our patients.

So, what is NuCalm?

Basically, it is a clinical solution which transforms a patient’s brain waves function into the initial sleep stage which is done in a revolutionary way and without the use of narcotics.

How safe is NuCalm?

The short answer is that nothing could be safer than NuCalm. Here’s why:

· It is all-natural

· Uses no controlled substances of any kind

· To date, sedation dentistry experts have used it on nearly 22,000 patients in the United States, without a single adverse reaction being reported.

How will I feel during the treatment?

Don’t misunderstand how NuCalm works; brain activity will not stop. It is much like how you feel before drifting off the sleep. The body relaxes, limbs start to feel heavier, and you slowly lose all sense of space and time.

What can I expect to feel right after the procedure?

You will feel great! It will feel like a “power nap” of sorts. Many patients who have chosen this option have reported afterwards that they felt as though they just had a deep tissue massage (without the pain of course).

So, if you’ve been putting off a procedure because you have a general fear of the dentist, sedation dentistry is here to help. Make an appointment today, and let Drs Yaste and Hufanda, at Ballantyne Center for Dentistry in Charlotte show you how NuCalm can change your entire outlook on the dental experience. 

NuCalm All natural technology in Charlotte, what's new with this?

Do you have problems when you go to the dentist?

Do you have a strong gag reflex?

Do you freak out completely when you step inside a dental clinic?

All these problems indicate some form of dental anxiety, which hinders you from going to the dentist. But that doesn't mean that you'll have to endure pain brought about by a bad tooth. If you are in Charlotte, you're in luck, because NuCalm all natural technology is here to solve your problems with dental anxiety.

What does NuCalm all-natural technology include?

NuCalm includes a 4-step process to help the patient fall asleep before a dental procedure is conducted. By falling asleep, patients are more relaxed and less anxious, which means that procedures go smoothly and effortlessly. The steps include the following:

1- Chewing tablets made up of GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) that is a natural neurotransmitter in the body. GABA is responsible for relaxation and to help a person fall into sleep.
2- The application of a Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) device that slowly relaxes the brain.
3- A frequency-following-response neuroacoustic software that plays classical music that induces the brain to sleep.
4- Lastly, blackout glasses are placed to cover against that annoying light used during a dental procedure.

Within 3-5 minutes, you will fall into a deep sleep and your muscles will relax. For some, the use of NuCalm all natural solution has shown an improvement in their sleeping patterns for a few days.
