Cosmetic Dentistry Orange County | Huefner Sensational Smiles Blog

For decades teenagers and adults have been making the trip to the orthodontist to have their teeth straightened with braces. At one point in time, braces were bulky, leading to name calling and other forms of childhood cruelty. Now, with new advancements, many orthodontic patients enjoy smaller, less noticeable braces. While this is wonderful news for teenagers, many adults still feel the stigmatism associated with braces.

At Sensational Smiles, Dr. Huefner is able to apply advances in cosmetic dentistry to help patients in Mission Viejo find alternatives to braces. In the past, you would have to undergo the painful and frequently humiliating process of having your teeth straightened with braces, but now we can now straighten your teeth with noninvasive or minimally invasive techniques.

Straightening Your Smile Without Braces
There are several options available for adults who desire a sensational smile, the smile they’ve always wanted. At Sensational Smiles, we offer:

Dr. Huefner understands the various needs and desires of his patients and will work with you to determine which procedure is best suited to meet your individual needs.

We all know how important it is to see a dentist twice a year for exams and professional cleanings. But for many Americans, previous uncomfortable experiences can be a deterrent to receiving this necessary care. Orange County sedation dentist, Dr. Norman Huefner understands this fear and strives to make all dental procedures, both cosmetic and general, comfortable for everyone.

By utilizing sedation dentistry, the staff at Sensational Smiles is able to provide comprehensive oral care for patients who suffer from the anxiety and discomfort that can accompany a visit to the dentist’s office. Offering sedation dentistry is simply another step we take in ensuring your entire visit is pleasant, and your results are satisfying.

How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?
We offer our patients a number of solutions to help curb nervousness. First, we listen closely to your concerns. We know you probably hate going to the dentist, that you’re afraid of being hurt, and you’re embarrassed that you’ve put off your dentistry for such a long time because of these factors. We understand how you feel. We won’t judge you.

After carefully listening to you and discovering your dental needs, Dr. Huefner will decide which method is most suited to your particular needs. At Sensational Smiles we offer one of the safest and most comfortable methods of relaxing or sedating our patients, oral sedation dentistry with pills (we do not use shots or IVs in the arm) and/or nitrous oxide gas.

We offer sedation that allows every patient to feel comfortable and safe while undergoing their dental procedures. Because sedation methods range from very mild to moderately deep sedation we may require that you arrange for a friend or family member to give you a ride to and from your sedation dentistry appointment. We will discuss the various types of sedation and any associated risks with you during your initial consultation.

If you live in Orange County, California and have been avoiding the dentist due to anxiety or fear, please contact the professional and friendly sedation dentistry team at Sensational Smiles to see how we can help alleviate your fears and help you get the dental care you deserve. Remember, we understand your fears and we don’t judge you.
