If you are anxious about dental treatment, we can offer it "with Sedation." We have developed another level of safe and secure sedation for those people who desire or need a deeper level of relaxation when they have dental treatment done. Dr. Coker has arranged an affiliation with the physicians of Tyler Sedation, a division of East Texas Anesthesiology Associates, to provide MD anesthesia for greatly increased safety and control.
That means Dr. Coker can do your cosmetic or regular dental treatment and one of the anesthesiologists can be in charge of your level of relaxation.
This is not general anesthesia, with the risks that come with that, but simply deep and relaxed sedation, with amnesia. In other words, you will be totally relaxed the whole time and then won't remember much of anything about the visit.
Certainly not even a good minority of our patients will need this, but there are people you know who put off their dentistry because of fear, and this added feature of the Smile Studio will allow almost any patient to be treated safely and comfortably.
A 4-minute video clip of the interview that Dr. Coker and Dr. Shawn Thomas did for TV Channel 19 can be viewed at the Tyler Sedation website.
