What is sedation dentistry?

April 24, 2022Dr. K Ashraf
Sedation dentistry works for people that are anxious about their visits to the dentist. Sedation dentistry uses a moderate level of sedation to calm down anxious patients. In this state of conscious sedation, patients are aware of the procedure being performed, but they do not feel the pain. In some cases, sedation dentistry may induce...

Our Happy Patients

“I have been a patient of Dr. Ashraf for many years. He is highly skilled, always very professional, caring and friendly. I had been wearing a denture for over 35 years when I became Dr. Ashraf’s patient, and he was the only dentist to suggest that I replace the denture with a fixed bridge. I have been delighted with the bridge ever since he put it in place…”

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a professional cleaning?
How do dentists whiten teeth?
What are the benefits of CEREC technology?
What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
I have gum disease. Can I still get dental implants?
I have dental anxiety. Can you help?
How often should I have a professional cleaning?
It’s important to schedule a professional teeth cleaning at least twice a year, or every six months to maintain a healthy smile. This will prevent plaque, debris, or bacteria from building up and minimize your risk of infection. We’ll also give your teeth a thorough polishing so your smile will feel fresh and clean. 

If you’ve had any gum problems or periodontal disease, Dr. Ashraf may recommend coming in for a professional cleaning every few months to maintain healthy teeth and gums. To get started, contact our office at (519) 725-9585 and we’ll schedule your appointment.

How do dentists whiten teeth?
Dr. Ashraf can brighten your smile up to several shades whiter with our safe and effective in-office whitening treatment. It works by bleaching surface stains and discoloration, minimizing brown or yellow spots, and enhancing a naturally glowing smile.

The bleaching treatment that we use will not cause damage to your enamel or gums. Dr. Ashraf is well-trained and experienced in providing our patients with trustworthy, long-lasting results.

What are the benefits of CEREC technology?
Ceramic Reconstruction (CEREC) technology offers comfortable impressions, unmatched precision, and a metal-free alternative for restoring your smile. Dr. Ashraf uses CEREC to take high-quality, 3D impressions of the mouth and create seamless-looking restorations.

With CEREC, you can leave our office with a fully restored smile in just one appointment. Give us a call at (519) 725-9585 and we’ll schedule your free consultation so Dr. Ashraf can explain the many benefits of CEREC technology in detail.

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
Here at Dr. K. Ashraf Dentistry, we can integrate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) into your treatment plan to speed up the healing process and improve recovery time. PRP draws on your body’s natural healing power to help you recover faster.

Plasma is a component of your blood that contains water and protein, and platelets allow your blood to clot. By extracting your blood sample, Dr. Ashraf can isolate the PRP to strengthen the healing process.

I have gum disease. Can I still get dental implants?
Yes, it is possible to get dental implants if you suffer from gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Dr. Ashraf will examine your oral health to assess which supplemental procedure is required before beginning the implant process. 

Our practice provides a number of periodontal treatments for patients with different severities of the condition. This includes scaling and root planing, gingivectomy, and gingival plastic surgery. To learn more, contact us at (519) 725-9585 and we’ll be happy to explain the process.

I have dental anxiety. Can you help?
Dr. Ashraf offers sedation dentistry for patients feeling anxious or fearful of their dental procedure. We’ll safely administer anesthesia through an IV right before your procedure. It’s safe, effective, and makes your time with us as worry-free as possible. 

With sedation dentistry, most patients report waking up with little to no memory of their procedure — allowing patients to become less fearful of the dentist.

Welcome Back

Life has been anything but normal this spring and we sincerely hope you and your family are in good health. We are happy to inform you that we are now able to once again provide dental care for you and your family. The Ministry of Health has lifted the restrictions placed back in March. While many things have changed since then, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety. Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have updated our protocols. When we see you at your next appointment, things will be a little different.

• We will ask some screening questions before your appointment and you’ll be asked those same questions again when you’re in the office.

• You may be asked to wait outside our office or in your car and call us when you arrive and then wait for a call back to let you know when you can enter the office.

• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the clinic. There are more dispensers around the office for you to use as needed. As well, you will be provided some gloves to wear. We recommend that you bring your own mask to wear prior to entering the clinic.

• Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines or children’s toys since those items are difficult to fully disinfect.

• Appointments will be spaced out to allow for physical distancing between patients. That might mean less flexibility for scheduling your appointment, but it will also reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

• You may be surprised that we’re wearing more protective gear – such as masks, face shields, gowns – than we normally do during your visit.

Rest assured, all these procedures are designed to create the safest environment for you, other patients and our team. We have undergone some renovations during this time. All operatory suites have been fully enclosed with glass windows and doors. This will ensure that all aerosols will be contained in the operatory. Prior to COVID-19, we had already installed Hepa filtration systems in all operatories and waiting areas. These systems are from Surgically Clean Air.

We look forward to seeing you again. If you have any questions, please let us know. To make an appointment, call our office at 519-725-9585 or email us at info@ashrafdentistry.ca.

Thank you for patience and loyalty throughout this ordeal. We value your trust and look forward to welcoming you back!

Sincerely,

Dr K Ashraf and the whole Dental Team.
