Anxiety-Free Dental Experience

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry offers a solution for patients who experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dental office, making necessary treatment accessible to those who might otherwise avoid care entirely. This approach uses various medications to create a relaxed, anxiety-free experience during dental procedures, ranging from mild relaxation where you remain awake and comfortable to deeper sedation states. For many patients, sedation transforms dental visits from stress-inducing ordeals into manageable, even pleasant experiences. This allows essential treatments to be completed efficiently, often with fewer appointments, while the patient remains comfortable throughout. The compassionate team at Anna Dental in Anna, TX offers multiple sedation options tailored to each patient’s anxiety level and treatment needs.

Dental anxiety affects up to 20% of Americans, causing many to delay necessary treatment until pain or emergencies force them to seek care. Sedation dentistry breaks this harmful cycle by addressing the emotional barriers to regular dental visits. Most patients report having little to no memory of their treatment, despite being conscious and able to respond to instructions during the procedure. This “amnesia effect” helps reset negative associations with dental care, potentially reducing anxiety for future visits. Whether you need a simple cleaning or more complex procedures, various sedation methods from nitrous oxide to oral medication can be tailored to your comfort needs at Anna Dental in Anna, Texas.

  • Multiple options ranging from mild relaxation to deeper sedation based on patient needs.
  • Allows completion of multiple procedures in fewer visits while maintaining patient comfort.
  • Creates an anxiety-free experience that can help overcome dental phobia long-term.

Comfortable, Stress-Free Treatment

Benefits Of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry at Anna Dental transforms the dental experience for anxious patients. Our range of comfort options helps you receive necessary care without stress or fear.

  • Anxiety Elimination: Sedation dentistry transforms the dental experience for anxious patients by creating a relaxed, worry-free state during treatment. This anxiety management allows fearful patients to receive necessary care they might otherwise avoid due to psychological barriers. For the estimated 30-40% of Americans who experience dental anxiety, sedation often represents the difference between receiving regular care and avoiding the dentist until emergencies develop.

  • Pain Perception Reduction: While local anesthesia numbs specific areas, sedation creates an overall diminished awareness of sensations, significantly reducing pain perception throughout treatment. This comprehensive comfort approach addresses both physical discomfort and the anticipatory pain that anxious patients often experience. Many patients report having no memory of procedures they previously found unbearable, allowing them to maintain regular dental care without emotional distress.

  • Efficiency in Complex Procedures: Sedation allows for longer appointments where multiple procedures can be completed in fewer visits, reducing overall treatment time and disruption to your schedule. This efficiency is particularly valuable for extensive restoration work or full-mouth rehabilitation. Patients with demanding work schedules or travel limitations appreciate consolidating what might require 4-6 traditional appointments into one or two longer sedation visits.

  • Management of Strong Gag Reflexes: For patients with hypersensitive gag reflexes that interfere with dental treatment, sedation suppresses this reflex, allowing for comfortable care. This suppression enables procedures that would otherwise be extremely difficult or impossible to complete. Patients who have previously struggled through treatments or avoided care due to uncontrollable gagging often find sedation provides a completely different, manageable experience.

  • Reduced Physical Stress Response: Sedation minimizes the body's stress response during dental treatment, keeping blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormones at healthier levels. This physiological benefit is particularly important for patients with certain medical conditions. For patients with cardiovascular concerns, controlled sedation can actually be safer than the natural adrenaline surge that occurs during stressful dental treatment without sedation.

Anxiety-Free Dental Experience

Who Is Sedation Dentistry For?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures, creating a comfortable, stress-free experience. From mild relaxation to deeper sedation states, these safe techniques help anxious patients receive the care they need without fear, making lengthy or complex treatments feel brief and allowing completion of multiple procedures in fewer appointments.

Dental Anxiety Sufferers

People with moderate to severe dental fears or phobias that have prevented them from seeking necessary treatment despite pain or health concerns.

Complex Treatment Patients

Individuals requiring extensive, lengthy, or multiple procedures who benefit from completing more work in fewer appointments while remaining comfortable.

Strong Gag Reflex Experiencers

Those with sensitive gag reflexes that make routine dental procedures difficult or impossible to complete without the relaxation sedation provides.

Do Any of These Situations Sound Familiar to You?

  • Appointment Avoidance Pattern: You repeatedly cancel or postpone dental visits due to anxiety, even when experiencing pain or visible problems.

  • Physical Anxiety Symptoms: Your heart races, palms sweat, or you feel physically ill when thinking about dental appointments or entering a dental office.

  • Past Negative Experience: A previous traumatic dental experience has created lasting anxiety that prevents you from receiving routine care.

  • Extensive Work Needed: Years of delayed treatment have resulted in multiple issues requiring lengthy procedures to restore your oral health.

  • Local Anesthetic Struggles: You have difficulty getting numb with traditional injections or experience anxiety about the injection process itself.

  • Sensitive Gag Reflex: Routine procedures trigger your gag reflex, making treatment uncomfortable or impossible without additional relaxation measures.

  • Difficulty Sitting Still: You find it challenging to remain still in the dental chair for the time needed to complete necessary procedures.

  • Treatment Resistance Fear: You worry about not being fully numb or being able to feel treatment despite local anesthesia.

  • Complex Dental Phobia: Your dental fear is severe enough that even thinking about treatment causes significant distress or panic reactions.

  • Medical Condition Consideration: You have medical conditions like back problems or arthritis that make sitting in a dental chair for extended periods painful.

Anxiety-Free Dental Care

Sedation Dentistry Procedure

We offer various sedation options to help anxious patients receive necessary dental treatment in complete comfort. Our trained team carefully monitors your vital signs throughout the procedure, allowing you to experience stress-free dentistry while we complete multiple or complex treatments efficiently.

Personalized Consultation

At Anna Dental, we begin with a thorough evaluation of your dental anxiety level and medical history to determine the most appropriate sedation option. Our doctors discuss your concerns, previous dental experiences, and treatment needs to create a tailored sedation plan.

We explain each available sedation method—nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV sedation—along with their benefits and effects. This careful assessment in our Anna, TX office ensures your safety and comfort during treatment while addressing your specific anxiety triggers.

Pre-Appointment Preparation

Before your sedation appointment at Anna Dental, we provide clear instructions based on your selected sedation method. For oral or IV sedation, you’ll need to arrange transportation and may need to fast for a period before treatment. We review your current medications to prevent any interactions and may recommend adjustments.

For more complex procedures or higher levels of sedation, we collect baseline vital signs at a pre-appointment visit. This preparation ensures a smooth, safe experience at our Anna office on the day of your procedure.
image (6)

Monitored Treatment Experience

On your treatment day at Anna Dental, we administer your chosen sedation method and monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure. Our team is trained in sedation protocols and emergency response to ensure your safety. Depending on the sedation level, you may feel deeply relaxed yet conscious, or have little memory of the procedure afterward.

We continue monitoring during recovery and provide detailed post-treatment instructions. For deeper sedation, a staff member confirms you’re ready for dismissal before you leave with your designated driver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sedation Dentistry FAQs

Dental anxiety shouldn’t keep you from getting the care you need. Our sedation options help make your visit comfortable and stress-free.

What is sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s often called “sleep dentistry,” although that’s not entirely accurate since most patients remain awake except those under general anesthesia. The levels range from minimal sedation (you’re awake but relaxed) to deep sedation (you’re on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened) to general anesthesia (you’re completely unconscious).



Our team at Anna Dental offers various sedation options tailored to your anxiety level and the complexity of your procedure. We carefully evaluate your medical history, anxiety levels, and treatment needs to recommend the most appropriate sedation method for your situation. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities throughout your visit.
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained professionals like our doctors at Anna Dental. Before any sedation, we thoroughly review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies to ensure the sedation method is appropriate for you. Throughout your procedure, we continuously monitor your vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.

The safety of our patients always comes first. We use modern monitoring equipment during sedated procedures and follow strict protocols to ensure your wellbeing. Our doctors have extensive training in sedation techniques and emergency management. Additionally, we provide clear pre- and post-procedure instructions to help you prepare for your appointment and recover comfortably afterward.
At Anna Dental, we offer several sedation options to meet different needs. Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) provides mild relaxation that wears off quickly. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your appointment for moderate relaxation. For deeper sedation, we provide IV sedation, where medication is administered directly into your bloodstream for immediate effects.

Each sedation method has unique benefits. Nitrous oxide allows you to drive yourself home after treatment since it leaves your system quickly. Oral sedation is convenient but requires someone to drive you home afterward. IV sedation works well for longer procedures or patients with severe anxiety, offering a deeper level of relaxation while allowing our doctors to adjust the sedation level throughout your treatment. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option might work best for your specific situation.
Sedation dentistry can benefit many patients, especially those with dental anxiety or fear, sensitive gag reflexes, difficulty getting numb, or those undergoing lengthy procedures. It’s also helpful for patients with physical limitations that make sitting in a dental chair uncomfortable, those with cognitive disabilities, or patients who need multiple procedures completed in a single visit.

Your overall health plays a crucial role in determining candidacy for sedation. Before recommending any sedation option, we conduct a thorough health assessment, including reviewing your medical history and current medications. Some medical conditions or medications may limit sedation options. Patients with sleep apnea, obesity, or certain heart conditions might require additional precautions. During your consultation at Anna Dental, we’ll evaluate your needs and help determine if sedation dentistry is right for you.
No, you shouldn’t feel pain during sedation dentistry. While sedation helps you relax, we still administer local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. The combination of sedation and anesthesia ensures you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout your procedure. The sedation helps reduce anxiety and awareness, while the anesthesia blocks pain signals.

Following your procedure, our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to manage any discomfort that might occur as the anesthesia wears off. We may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribe medication if needed. Many patients report that sedation dentistry makes their dental experience so comfortable that they have little memory of the procedure afterward. This positive experience often helps reduce anxiety about future dental visits.
The duration of sedation effects varies depending on the type used. With laughing gas (nitrous oxide), effects wear off within minutes after the gas is stopped, allowing you to drive yourself home and resume normal activities. Oral sedation typically lasts 2-6 hours, though drowsiness might continue for up to 24 hours. IV sedation effects generally last 2-4 hours, with lingering grogginess possible throughout the day.

Individual factors like your metabolism, weight, and the dosage received also influence how long sedation effects last. For your safety, we require a responsible adult to drive you home after receiving oral or IV sedation. We recommend resting for the remainder of the day and avoiding driving, operating machinery, making important decisions, or consuming alcohol for 24 hours after your procedure. Our team will provide specific post-sedation instructions tailored to your situation.
Yes, if you’re receiving oral sedation or IV sedation, you absolutely need a responsible adult to accompany you to your appointment, drive you home afterward, and stay with you for several hours following your procedure. The effects of these sedation methods impair your coordination, judgment, and reaction time, making it unsafe to drive or navigate public transportation alone.

For your convenience, we’ll discuss transportation requirements during your pre-appointment consultation. Your escort should plan to remain in our office during your entire appointment in case we need to communicate important information about your care. If you’re only receiving nitrous oxide (laughing gas), you typically can drive yourself home since the effects wear off quickly. Our priority is ensuring you return home safely after your dental procedure.
Before your sedation appointment, follow any fasting instructions we provide – typically no food or drink for 6-8 hours before IV sedation, though guidelines may vary for oral sedation or nitrous oxide. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and flat shoes. Remove contact lenses, jewelry, and nail polish before your appointment, and arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home afterward.

Taking these preparatory steps seriously ensures your safety and comfort. Be sure to inform us about any changes in your health or medications since your last visit. Our team will call you before your appointment to review instructions and answer any questions. Arriving well-prepared helps your procedure go smoothly and reduces potential complications. Remember to fill any pre-sedation medication prescriptions in advance if they’re part of your treatment plan.
Insurance coverage for sedation dentistry varies widely between providers and plans. Some insurance companies cover sedation when it’s medically necessary, such as for patients with special needs, severe gag reflexes, or certain medical conditions. However, many consider sedation for anxiety alone as elective and may not provide coverage.

We believe everyone deserves comfortable dental care, which is why our front office team will help verify your insurance benefits before treatment. For patients without coverage, we offer flexible payment options and membership plans that might help manage costs. Our Signature Plan, for example, includes conscious sedation as one of the covered benefits. We’ll discuss all financial aspects during your consultation so you can make informed decisions about your care without surprises.
Yes, children can safely receive dental sedation when administered by qualified professionals. Sedation is particularly helpful for children who are very young, anxious, have special needs, or require extensive dental work. We offer several child-friendly sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety and oral sedation for moderate anxiety or longer procedures.

The safety of your child is our highest priority. Before recommending any sedation, our doctors carefully evaluate your child’s medical history, age, weight, and treatment needs. We explain the entire process in child-friendly terms and ensure parents understand what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Throughout the treatment, we use specialized monitoring equipment designed for pediatric patients. With proper preparation and care, sedation dentistry can make dental visits a positive experience for children who might otherwise find treatment overwhelming.

I walked into Anna Dental not knowing what to expect and honestly, I was scared—I was getting a tooth pulled, and we all know how painful that can be. But let me tell you, from the moment I arrived, they made me feel safe and taken care of. I waited less than five minutes before being called back, and I had just made the appointment the day before! Rosie was amazing, and then the dentist came in—she was professional, skillful, meaningful in how she approached her work, and so laid-back. She was calm, kind, and incredibly patient. Patience is a virtue, and she truly had it. She even sang while working, which helped me stay calm too. I could tell I was in great hands. When it came time for the numbing shot, I barely felt a thing. She pulled my back tooth with such gentleness and confidence, it felt like it was her millionth time doing it. This is how a dental office should be run—especially when dealing with something as sensitive as dental work. They treated me like more than just a patient. Their membership plan is also super affordable and worth every penny. I’d give them 100 stars if I could. Highly recommend Anna Dental!

I went to Anna Dental for the first time yesterday. It was far and away the best interaction with a dental office I have ever had. First, they were very efficient with virtually no time waiting to be seen. Then, they were very informative about every action they took and why they needed it. Finally, the dentist spent a lot of time with me, answering all my questions and helping me determine the course of treatment that would be best for me. Oh, and their prices are reasonable as well.

The personal touch is what I most enjoy about Anna Dental. I am always greeted by name when I walk through the door and taken back for my treatment quickly. My hygienist is quick and efficient and addresses any concerns I have and makes me feel very comfortable. She always makes time to chat at the end of the appointment to find out what is going on in my life, while waiting for the dentist to come in and tell me my teeth are beautiful! All in all the care I get from Anna Dental is thorough and efficient as well as being highly personalised. I enjoy the feeling of family while I am there.

I had been having tooth pain for a year. The other day enough was enough. Within a hour of my first call I was in the office filling new patient paperwork out. Everyone was real nice, polite. Dr. Sharp was professional and polite. Even though he was very busy he still squeezed in my double tooth extraction because I can’t afford more time off from work. The procedure was as painless as it could have been. Dr. Sharp and his assistant stopping throughout the procedure to make sure I’m comfortable. Yes I was upset I was loosing two teeth, but that was the most uncomfortable part. These office is staffed by really great people and I will be back. Thank yall for taking care of me and so quickly.

Was very nervous about going to the dentist as I’m sure a lot of people are, but this was actually a great experience. Needed a root canal and expressed I had worries about the pain but they reassured me they would keep me comfortable and they really did. The procedure went great there was absolutely no pain and I got to watch my show while I was getting work done . Would recommend them to anyone . From the office staff to the dentist Dr. Suarez was great.

I’ve had a great experience with Anna Dental. The staff are all so nice, especially Rosie, who made everything run smoothly and was so welcoming. Dr. Anderson is absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I could tell she genuinely cares about her patients. She has such a kind and compassionate approach, with great bedside manners that immediately put me at ease. I’ve always had anxiety about going to the dentist due to bad past experiences, but Dr. Anderson completely changed that for me. She made me feel so comfortable and was incredibly understanding and patient. She took the time to explain everything she was doing and made sure I understood each step, which made a big difference for me. She’s not only professional but also warm and approachable, which is rare to find. It’s clear she loves what she does and is dedicated to her patients’ well-being. I couldn’t recommend her more—she’s truly one of a kind!

I recently broke a crown on my front tooth close to the holidays and really needed to have it fixed. Dr. Kyle Young was able to see me in just a few days and not only removed my existing fractured crown, but also prepared the tooth, and manufactured my new crown in the clinic on the same day. He made sure that I was completely numb and happy with the shape, size, color of the crown and went as far as custom shading the crown so it matched my other teeth. The clinic is high tech and clean, and everyone was really nice and welcoming. They also provided me with the option to finance my treatment with no fees or interest. I am absolutely ecstatic with my crown and have had no issues, thanks to Dr. Young’s skill and expertise. Highly recommend!

I have had some needed work done and at 64 was not looking forward to getting it done. Then I hear about Anna Dental and how the folks there treated their customers. At first it was a little hard to believe and I felt like I was being sold a bit. Everything I was told was true and some. EVERYONE who I have been blessed to meet has been fantastic, A+++! I had a root canal and bridge done first and followed up with a few other minor issues under their In-House Service Program. GREAT JOB Anna Dental! I thank God for them all!! 65 now and smiling without fear!

This is the best dentist office I have ever visited! Everyone I have encountered has been so helpful and friendly. Kristy cleaned my teeth and we talked about my choice of toothpaste and floss. Dr. Sharp did a couple of treatments on my teeth a few months ago and he is SUPER! I have high dental anxiety (who at 75 doesn’t?) but I am almost relaxed with him. Another dentist referred me to a periodontal specialist in Dallas (live in Denison). The circumstances made me very uncomfortable so I came to Anna Dental for a second opinion. Sure glad I did! Signature Plan is great, too. Thank you all!

After having three awful experiences with highly reviewed pediatric dental offices with my three year old, we are so thankful we found Anna Dental! I was nervous to have my son receive sedation for several crowns he needed but Dr Sharp made sure I felt at ease and aware with what the procedure entailed. It made me feel much more confident and him and his anesthesiologist did a fantastic job. They were patient with my son while he got comfortable and went above and beyond to make sure it was a positive experience. Finding a trustworthy dental office is a difficult thing to find and we’re so grateful we found them!

Front desk was super friendly. I called needing to get my daughter in fast due to ortho appt and they were able to accommodate. On day of the hygienist got my daughter straight back, quickly cleaned, and talked to us like we’d been friends forever. Check out was quick and easy as well. All in all, super happy I switched my family over to Anna Dental! We’ve all had great experiences ever since!

Had to change dentist and the first clinic was good but buried and limited hours. Friends recommended Anna Family Dental and it was above expectations. Kind, effective, very communicative on current state. and provided clarity 180 degrees opposite of the other place. 1000’s saved but more importantly support that matters right where I am today. First visit was amazing and relieved many concerns.

They are great here at Anna Dental. They get you in quickly and everyone is so pleasant. Dr Sawires is the absolute best. He always makes me feel comfortable and helps me with my fears. I’ve never had a bad experience and I’ve had to have a lot of dental work. I would highly recommend Anna dental and Dr Sawires⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had to have some major dental work done (at least I feel like it was). Dr Sawires suggested the work to be done and could not have asked for a better dentist to do it. He was kind and cared about my concerns from the minute we decided to do the work. He treats his patients with the utmost caring and patience. He is a very caring man as well as a dentist. I would trust him with any work he suggest in the future. Kristy assisted and could not have been more kind and caring with me. She always answered my questions as if I was the only patient there. After the work was finished she checked on me several times to make sure I had no issues. Anna Dental is the best and I give a high five 💯 to Dr Sawires & Kristy. Thank you❤️👍

I wish I had Dr. S when I was a kid! He’s the most patient, kind, but still direct dentist I’ve ever met!!! We started with a plan and ended up with wonderful results!! I couldn’t be happier, he’s changed my life more than he could ever know. Also, the best staff in Anna!!! I appreciate them ALL!!!

Always friendly and professional and the teeth care 😁 is A-1. I hope they’ll be around for a long time. I had a really bad cavity, and the only remedy for me was to extract and have an implant inserted. They explained everything to me in detail and worked with me on setting up a payment plan. And the whole process was painless. A little pun intended since you would think that there would be a lot of pain! But no pain and I always receive the best treatment! I highly recommend Anna dental.

I will have to say the care and staff is probably one of the best dental places I have had through the years. This is coming from a person who has hated going to dentist! They will pit you at ease and upfront with everything from cost to care. I would Suggest that you take advantage of their dental plan. Much better than insurance and covers much more. Very very pleased.

Anna Dental and the entire team are by far the best dental practice I have ever been to. The Doctors and staff have been remarkably kind and patient. They always make you feel very important and will do whatever it takes to keep you comfortable. I will be a lifelong patient! Thanks to everyone for all that you do.

Top notch doctors and staff! They never make you feel bad about your dental issues. Very kind and considerate! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I have major dentist anxiety and I don’t when I go to Anna Dental. Dr. Ludlow, all the other doctors and staff are all amazing!

Most professional dentist I have ever been to in my life. I also love to get my teeth cleaned here. They do a perfect job every time. I just can’t say enough about the work in the detail they go to if you don’t have insurance don’t worry they have a plan for you, very affordable thank you. See you soon.

Dr. Anderson is the best! She makes me feel comfortable and at ease. I had terrible dental anxiety and all of the staff make me feel relaxed. We moved to Plano and we still come back to Anna just to go to the dentist. We love our hygienist, Cristal. She’s so nice, thorough, and patient with my kids. Also, my daughter loves to go to the dentist because of all the staff here!

My name is Ben. I was in yesterday to see Dr Anderson. I’ve been coming since I was a kid. Let me tell you, Dr Anderson made that visit so pleasant. Could not have possibly had a better visit. Dr Anderson thank you. Good staff all the way around. I can tell that y’all carefully consider who you hire and that’s good practice. Rosie was also great, thank you as well Rosie!

Have never been to a dentist that compares to Anna Dental in Anna Tx. This place is awesome, had 5 crowns put on and Dr. Sawires and his assistant were great from start to finish. Walked out of there with absolutely no discomfort at all. Thank you so much, will recommend this place as long as I’m in Texas.

Very nice and friendly staff. The receptionist knows everyone’s name and addresses them by name as soon as they enter the facility. The hygienist speak to you when you pass their room. I love the family friendly atmosphere and the dentist are awesome.

I am new to Anna, Texas and needed to find dental care as I have a lot of work that needs to be done. I went to several different dental offices and chose Anna Dental. They are reasonable with pricing, offer payment options, and are kind and professional. Most importantly, the doctor not only made a recommendation after careful evaluation but listened to my concerns and is very detailed about the treatments needed. I have had a couple appointments since my initial consultation and they have went very well. I recommend!

I have been avoiding the dentist at all cost! Since I moved to Anna I started to look for another dentist in my area, this was my first time being here and I will tell you they are top notch! Christy and Dr Young were amazing and they took the time to listen to my concerns and actually cared! This is by far my best dental experience ever. I will be moving the family to Anna dental from now on. Thank you for all you did!!

Love love love the people here- All of the people- Charity is an awesome welcoming presence when you walk in. Literally ALL of the hygienists and dental assistants are kind. Dr. Ludlow is wonderful but my family all sees somebody different and they are all the best dentists we’ve ever been too. And their Signature plan has helped us immensely. Thank you, Anna Dental❤️

Every single point of contact I’ve had with staff here has been nothing but positive. From routine cleanings to non-routine issues, the entire staff has been so positive, accommodating, and kind. Very glad to have found them! Can’t say enough positive things!

If only every dental office was like this! We love this place so much that we pay out of pocket and drive 30 minutes to be able to come here. My hygenist, Angela, is meticulous and gentle with her work while also being personable and kind. The Doctor never pushes us into unnecessary work just for sake of profit. We really feel taken care of here. I always leave this place happy, which is saying something because I do not enjoy the dentist. Can’t recommend it more.

I learned a lot about dental implants in the last six months. If you’re thinking about going to Mexico to save money on dental implants, you’re making a mistake. There are way too many precise measurements and angles that must be perfect. Your new teeth need to go together, top teeth to bottom teeth, exactly where and how your real teeth did, or you will have problems. The tiny pieces of metal that’s placed in your skull and jaw bone, that the new teeth will connect to must be perfect with angles and measurements, or you will have problems. Your gums need to heal around those tiny pieces of metal before the real teeth go in, or you will have problems. The lab that makes the real implants must follow directions from the dentist, or you will have problems. So when people that went to Mexico to save money on implants come back to Anna and start having problems, they can go to Dr. Sharp at Anna Dental center. But if I were him, I’d tell you that I’m too busy and booked right now to help you. Or charge you double. He does not need any patients, that office was full of patients the 20 something times I’ve been in there the last 6 months. Now, if you’re still thinking about going to Mexico to save money on dental implants, not dentures, you should probably stop reading this now, because you’re too damn dumb to understand the rest of this. I was one phone call and 10 minutes away from calling Wells Fargo and stopping all payments to Anna Dental Center immediately. I was 10 days away from writing a certified demand letter to Anna Dental Center demanding all my money back. And I have plenty of experience in small claims courts of Collin co as a real estate broker in Mckinney for 24 years and never lost, but maybe 3 cases out of close to 200, so I’m not scared of small claim courts Collin co, this would have been easy. (To be continued 4-5-25)
