Our office provides a seamless transition for patients being referred from their general dentist.  We allow online access for patients to fill out their medical history prior to their appointment, saving time for them to relax prior to their appointment. 

If anti-anxiety medication would help you relax, let us know in advance. After Dr. Turner sees you for a consultation and reviews your medical history (which you can fill out online prior to your appointment), he will likely be able to prescribe an anti-anxiety medication for you to take prior to your appointment and even the night before if it will help you sleep. 

We also offer Nitrous Oxide sedation (laughing gas!)  This is for the patient that may have to return to work after the appointment. 

Another option offered to our patients is IV sedation.  A board certified Nurse Anesthetist is on site during your procedure while you comfortably sleep.

An additional fee would be required to help cover costs for the additional time and care involved in monitoring your vital signs during treatment. A driver is necessary to bring you to and from your appointment for your safety. We also would need for you to visit our office personally prior to your treatment appointment day for a consultation and to sign consent forms prior to taking anti-anxiety medications.

We also give all our referring dentists access to their patients to see what stage of treatment we have them in.  This helps you to get scheduled with your referring dentist as quick as possible.
