Northern Virginia Cosmetic Dentist
Michael K. Chung, D.D.S.
You are considered a member of the family at Softouch Dental Care in Oakton, Virginia. When you step through the door, you are greeted by dentistry team members in a warm, welcoming environment.
This environment helps patients feel relaxed and comfortable with any procedure they are interested in receiving. Some patients feel high anxiety when entering a dentist’s office. Dr. Chung offers sedation dentistry to any patient who feels anxious or nervous about going to the dentist.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps patients relax and many fall asleep before the procedure. A sleeping pill is given to the patient before the procedure. This helps the anxiety of being in the dentist’s office and waiting for the procedure. The patient is seated in a soft dental chair and monitored by a team while he or she gently drifts off to sleep. The patient is awakened when the procedure is finished.
Sedation dentistry helps many people comfortably get the general dentistry care they need along with many cosmetic dentistry procedures such as:
- Invisalign – straightens teeth without the use of traditional metal braces
- Dental bonding – quickly corrects minor dental defects
- Tooth whitening – whitens teeth at home or in the office
- Porcelain fillings – uses a tooth-colored filling to blend with your smile
- Smile makeovers – customized dental plan for re-creating your smile
- Porcelain veneers – corrects minor dental defects such as cracks and discoloration
- Neuromuscular Dentistry – properly aligns the jaw relieving back and neck pain
