Its no secret that many people have anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist. Patients fear the pain of whatever procedure they need, as well as the noises and smells associated with a dental office. At Kord Dentistry, were happy to provide sedation dentistry for those who need help relaxing while in the dentists chair. This treatment means less anxiety and minimal pain. Moreover, sedation may also allow us to complete your procedure faster, allowing you to get on with your day. Sedatives are administered by seasoned professionals and are completely safe. Please let us know of any preexisting conditions before opting for sedation in our Mission Viejo and Newport Beach offices.
Besides traditional general dentistry offerings, we also provide treatment for sleep apnea. This condition occurs when your muscles relax during sleep and allow tissues to block your airway, resulting in pauses in breathing throughout the night. Not only will sleep apnea affect your quality of sleep, but it can also put you at risk for more severe conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. If youre living with sleep apnea, seek help from Dr. Kord and her team. Well work with you to find a solution that works for you.
This approach is patient-focused, and Dr. Kord makes every effort to ensure youre comfortable in her office. Our team takes every opportunity to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and create an individualized treatment plan. We also use natural and bio-compatible materials that are mercury-free.
We often take into account the principles of biomimetic dentistry when recommending treatment to our holistic dentistry patients. In short, biomimetic means copying what is natural. This principle acts on the assertion that nature has already provided the best properties for your teeth, and the most effective thing we can do is to mimic nature. For example, when we perform tooth restoration, we aim to restore your tooth to its original state. That means helping you regain the strength, function, and appearance it once had. Through our biomimetic approach, we strive to help you retain as much of your tooth as possible by only removing damage and decay and leaving the healthy parts of the tooth alone.
