Every time you even think about visiting a dentist, you break out in a sweat. Even though you clearly need some work done, you put off making the appointment. When you  finally do make that appointment, you sit in complete fear and anxiety in the waiting room, hoping for a miracle that somehow you’ll be overlooked or magically your appointment will be canceled.

Well, you are in good company. Dental fears affect 1 in 4 people. It is a major stumbling block for many people. Individuals that are otherwise clever and rational people suddenly jeopardize their health because of the anxiety and fear built around a trip to the dentist.

So, what is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation Dentistry has a very broad definition. It can range from very slight to absolute anesthesia.

With today’s technology and pharmacology, there’s simply no reason to experience pain or anxiety with your trip to the dentist.
Dr. Burch and his 3D Solutions team have extensive training and experience with the full range sedation dentistry from simple N2O to total sleep general sedation. In his practice, he uses sedation techniques for two reasons:

1. To overcome anxiety associated with a visit to the dentist.
2. To include more extensive treatment in less time.

Sedation allows for more to be accomplished in just one appointment. Your beautiful smile is completed in a shorter amount of time! Cosmetic Makeovers with porcelain veneers, restorations (crowns, caps, fillings) or implants can be completed easily and comfortably during sedation.

How exactly, does sedation dentistry work?

Depending on your anxiety level, the time needed, and the compensation of your plan the right sedation level is determined from non,- to total sleep. Before you come to our office, you take a little pill. Your fears will vanish into thin are. As an added bonus, many patients say they actually forget their entire experience. The time spent in the dentist chair will feel like mere minutes. Of course, everyone’s experience is different.

While your treatments are being executed, you will be constantly and closely monitored at all times, with high-tech medical equipment in some case by a board certified anesthetist. Additionally, Dr. Burch and/or one of his experienced dental assistants will be at your side the entire time. Not only is sedation dentistry pain-free and stress-free, it is extremely safe!

Conquering your fear and limit your time

With Sedation Dentistry, there is nothing to fear. It’s time to take back the control and take command of your dental health. No more discomfort. No more embarrassment. Enjoy far fewer visits that disrupt your busy schedule. Call 3D Dental Solutions today and find out how Sedation Dentistry can literally change your life … for the better.

Everyone brushes their teeth…because they always have. The next time you are looking in the mirror, toothbrush in hand, remember that it’s not only going to give you a more attractive smile, but you can prevent pain – the throbbing and aches that poor oral health causes as well as, the sensitivity to hot, cold and sweets.  You are also reducing your need for dental treatments. Your life and your health will be better.

There’s no escape from chronic pain. It colors every part of your life from morning to night. Or even 24/7 if you can’t sleep because of it.

You just want to escape from the endless pain and you can”t enjoy any part of your life. This isn’t how you expected your life to be. You need the pain to end…yesterday.

Why am I hurting?

Your brain signals you with pain to tell you something is wrong. It’s telling you to stop and pay attention—the pain is a warning sign that there is a problem and you need to tend to it before it gets worse.

You have a jaw joint in your mouth called the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and when it is not properly aligned, it causes an uneven or unbalanced bite. This misaligned bite can cause your head, neck and jaw muscles to work extra-hard, over-compensating for your uneven bite.

Stressed muscles

When these muscles work so hard, they create migraines, headaches, earaches, tender muscles, soreness in your face, a jaw that hurts … and potentially other problems aswell.

Pain can impact every single aspect of your life. Your family and friends have stopped being sympathetic, they’ve heard about your pain and sore mouth for years now. Going out isn’t an option anymore; you’re in too much pain and you’re not good company. Does this sound familiar?

Pain can suck the life out of you. There is relief in sight, though. Make an appointment with Dr. Burch who can do a comprehensive examination and diagnose what the problem is. AND provide a solution.

Get your life back. You deserve it.

Dr. Burch at 3D Dental Solutions will look at the whole picture and get you the answers you need.

Romance on the rocks? It could be your snoring. Life and health on the rocks? It could be sleep apnea. Going to a dentist for answers to your sleep disorder isn’t usually the first place people go for answers. Perhaps it should be.

We all need adequate rest. If we don’t get it, we become irritable, our attention span is impacted and we don’t function well at work or at home. Frequent snoring reduces the quality of your sleep and in turn, lowers your body’s ability to get the rest it needs to rejuvenate Snoring obviously can impact your partner’s sleep quality, placing them at risk of fatigue and in some cases, putting a strain on your relationship.

If you suffer from sleep apnea, which means you literally stop breathing many times each night, you can end up with a host of serious health problems. Lack of sleep can lead to hypertension, impaired memory, depression heart attack and stroke.

Do you wake up each morning dreading the day?

If you are so tired each day because of a lack of sleep, you owe it to yourself to get some answers. Sleep deprivation can reduce the quality of your life because you are irritable, exhausted and forgetful. You can’t function properly and you’re not yourself- friends and family get tired of your changed personality and stop calling.

Sleep disorders can seriously impact your health. You need to rest and repair your body every night, or your health is jeopardized. A sleep disorder can be a killer – raising your risk of cardiovascular disease, strokes and diabetes.

Research indicates 90% of snorers have sleep apnea, 75% of people with TMD/TMJ (temporomandibular disorder) have sleep apnea and 52% of sleep apnea sufferers have signs and symptoms of TMD.

Do you have questions about your sleep disorder, sleep disorder symptoms and your sleep deficit? Is your lack of sleep playing havoc with your life? You need information so you can make informed decisions about what to do.

Dr. Burch is aware that sleep problems can impact your whole life and he will work with you to bring balance, relieve pain and provide sleep solutions. Dr. Burch is trained to work with allied health professionals to resolve your problem.

And in the doctor’s office.

Did you know research shows attractive people get promotions more often? From day one, when you walk into that job interview and nail it because you are confident and show it with a brilliant white smile to six months down the road, when you get your first promotion, that first impression will set you on the road to success.

The Law of Beauty

Have you ever thought about why you are attracted to certain people? Why one face catches your eye and another doesn’t? The response to beauty takes less than a second, 150 milliseconds to be exact. It’s true, that’s all it takes for your subconscious to scan and decide whether a face is attractive or not. It’s a normal and healthy biological response.

Golden Proportion

What determines whether a face is handsome or beautiful is something called the law of golden proportion. It’s about balance and proportion. When your face is proportionate and balanced, it will be considered beautiful by someone looking at you. Beauty is also broken up into four basic elements: symmetry, clarity, harmony and vivid color.

Try it, next time you notice an attractive face, look at it and see if you can tell whether it’s proportionate and fits the four basic elements. These elements are found everywhere in nature.

Biological Imperative

We’re hard-wired to notice beauty and to respond to it. We’re naturally attracted to healthy and beautiful people. It’s nature’s way of populating the earth and has been in our genes since the beginning.

150 milliseconds. That’s all you need for someone to have a positive response to your appearance. And that can be the difference between getting the job, the new boyfriend or girlfriend or that new client.

Allow beauty to come into your life

It’s essential to your success. With the attention paid to symmetry, form and shape found in nature, combined with the latest cosmetic dentistry and smile rejuvenation techniques, you can have a more beautiful smile

And…having an attractive smile can keep you out of the doctor’s office. A great smile usually means your oral health is being maintained, and that means you aren’t in pain and having to see your doctor.

3D Dental Solutions can give you the straight white smile you’ve always dreamed of. And help you get that job or raise, ramp up the romance in your life and keep you away from the doctor’s office.

Brushing and flossing. Pretty simple. But it could be a lifesaver. Doing those two simple things two or three times a day could save your life.

What’s the connection?

Taking care of your oral health by maintaining healthy teeth and gums will give you a bright smile. But it can also mean you could live longer. Generally, when people take good care of their health, they live longer and their quality of life is better. But most people don’t realize the connection between oral health, dental hygiene and overall health. If your oral health isn’t maintained, dental disease can begin and it can have a serious affect on your health.

So…potentially save your life by brushing and flossing after each meal!

What are the consequences of poor oral health?

Poor oral health can compromise your overall health by creating gum (periodontal) disease and tooth decay. Gum disease, which is painless and may go unnoticed, is difficult to get rid of once it starts and can result in a life-threatening outcome.

What does untreated periodontal (gum) disease do?

• Contributes to illnesses such as respiratory disease – the mouth can act as a breeding ground for respiratory pathogens, which are sometimes found in plaque in deep periodontal pockets.
• Increases the risk of heart attack – there is an increased risk of 25% of coronary heart disease for people with advanced periodontitis.
• Increases the risk of stroke by a factor of ten – the bacteria can create toxins that are associated with chronic infections, which may cause strokes.
• Increases the risk and severity of diabetes – diabetes affects periodontal health; studies now show the reverse is also true; periodontal disease may affect diabetes. Severe periodontal disease may increase the risk of poor glycemic control. Diabetic patients with good oral hygiene are less likely to suffer stroke, transient ischemic attack and angina or myocardial infarctions.
• Reduces life expectancy.
• Contribute to low pre-term birth weights – research indicates 18% of all pre-term low birth weight cases could be caused by periodontal disease.
• Severely reduces the effectiveness of the immune system – by stressing the immune system with having to constantly battle periodontitis, the ability to fight other infections and more serious illnesses such as cancer are diminished.

Dental infections, especially those like long term periodontal disease and infected tooth roots can impact and jeopardize medical treatment because the immune system is stressed. Regular dental check-ups are necessary for your oral health and your overall health. Research has proven this and it will show in your own health.
