Sedation Dentistry for Peace of Mind and Body

Do not delay your dental treatment because you may have a fear of dentistry. As a New York sedation dentist, Dr. Miller can provide you with IV sedation, or sleep dentistry, which will allow you to sleep throughout your entire dental procedure. Learn about Dr. Miller's training and experience here.

The need for IV sedation is not restricted to any particular group of people. The apprehension or sensitivity that some people associate with dental treatment is common in men and women in every social and economic group. Sedation dentistry is a very comfortable method of achieving the goal of optimum dental health.

Some people in the following categories may require sedation dentistry:

• Physically handicapped individuals
• Chronic dental sufferers and adults who are extremely sensitive to dental pain

If you are a candidate for the procedure, it is Dr. Miller's hope that his training and 20+ years of experience in private practice will give you the peace of mind and confidence to undertake this phase of your dental care.
