The Challenge: ‘D.’ came to us with the desire to replace a tooth he had been missing for over 30 years. He lost this tooth due to severe infection and associated fracture. ‘D’ wanted a dental restoration that would last a lifetime. He desired a replacement tooth that mimicked the natural, functional, and esthetic tooth he once had. The Solution: Utilizing IV Moderate Sedation for complete and safe patient comfort, ‘D.’ successfully had both a dental implant placement and zirconium crown procedure completed to seamlessly provide him a tooth replacement that will last a lifetime.
The dental implant was the most ideal non-removable or fixed option for ‘D.’. This means that neither the implant nor the tooth can be removed from ‘D.’s’ mouth. It is firmly attached and doesn’t move- just like his real teeth. He can now use this tooth to eat all the foods he loves.
Our in office IV Moderate Sedation procedures (formerly known as Twilight or Conscious Sedation) allows for our patients to complete dental procedures while ensuring complete comfort. The dental treatment is safely performed under the direct care of our highly trained team and in our certified facility. We can eliminate the fear that prohibits patients attaining the smile they deserve.
Dr. Mahlin completed the last step of attaching an implant tooth yesterday. This was after a multi-month process of having four crowns attached over multiple visits.
I would not have completed any of this dental work without the outstanding care and compassion of Dr. Mahlin and his staff. I had developed an extreme fear of any dental procedures and have avoided the dentist for over 30 years.
Dr. Mahlin and staff explained what dental work I needed and developed a plan on how to complete the work.
Getting me into a dentist chair is not easy . But Dr. Mahlin and staff made me as comfortable as possible and explained each step along the way. I now plan to follow good dental hygiene with routine future visits.
I would recommend Clarkson Dental Group to anyone with dental anxiety. Dr. Mahlin and staff have experience with dental anxiety and provide professional care with outstanding coaching.
I am lucky to have found this dental group, and thank Dr. Mahlin and each member of his staff for walking me through this process.
