Relax During Their Dental Appointment with Sedation Dentistry

As a sedation dentist in Lansdowne, Virginia, Dr. Kamboh understands that many patients often put off dental treatment due to being apprehensive or uncomfortable when they go to the dentist. For these patients, going to the dentist can be challenging, which is why Dr. Kamboh offers several types of sedation dentistry to make their dental care more pleasant and relaxed.

“I needed a lot of work done on my smile and was afraid at the pain it would cause. Dr. Kamboh was a lifesaver. My appointment couldn’t have gone better. I now feel more at ease at the dentist than I ever have.

Roman, Lansdowne, VA

After having a lot of pain during childhood dentist appointments, Roman was fearful of the dentist as an adult and ended up getting severe gum disease. “My mouth was painful yet I was afraid to seek help. A family member recommended Lansdowne Dental Associates.”

Dr. Kamboh scheduled a consultation with Roman and together they discussed his dental anxiety. “He sat down with me and talked about everything I was feeling. We discussed all the sedation options to find one that I felt most comfortable with,” Roman says.

The results were a success! “During the appointment, I felt relaxed and didn’t experience any pain. I received a deep cleaning to help restore my gums. Although my smile still has a way to go, I’m less afraid and more confident when visiting the dentist. It’s all thanks to Dr. Kamboh!”

For your dental appointment and based upon his medical assessment, Dr. Kamboh can provide you with a sedation dentistry option:
