Digital X-Rays           

Digital x-rays can be magnified up to 300 times and are much more reliable in spotting problems than traditional x-rays. They also lessen your exposure to radiation and eliminate waste because there is no need for photo chemicals and traditional film.

Intra-oral Cameras
Intra-oral cameras are small, pen-sized machines that allow the dentists at Galleria Dental Aesthetics to take a closer look at your teeth and gums. We view what the camera sees through television monitors in the treatment room. This allows us to identify problems that may have otherwise taken longer to recognize.

Computers

We use computers in virtually every aspect of our practice. Every treatment room has a computer so that our team has immediate access to all patient files. Your patient file contains your health history and your treatment plan. This assures that your care will be consistent and thorough.

Sedation Dentistry

Oral conscious sedation

For patients with special needs or dental anxiety, The Dental Group of Tysons is able to offer oral conscious sedation for specific procedures.

Sedation Dentistry is not for everyone. In fact, many of our patients with some dental anxiety find they don't need sedation in our office. These patients often tell us that our caring, gentle approach provides them with a relaxing, pleasant experience even without sedation. The choice is really yours.

What is Oral Sedation?

Patients who are apprehensive about receiving dental treatment often avoid going to the dentist. Ultimately, this avoidance can lead to advanced disease and the need for expensive treatments that could have been avoided.
Oral Sedation provides a safe, effective way to alleviate dental anxiety and provide patients with the treatment they need.

How it Works

Oral Sedation makes use of a prescription medication that induces a drowsy, relaxed feeling. This is an oral medication and no intra-venous needles are used. Due to the relaxing effects of the medication, patients must have a friend or family member bring them to the dental office and return them home.
During Oral Sedation, the patient's vital signs are monitored. Although patients are not completely unconscious, many patients sleep through their dental appointment. Few patients have any memory of their treatment; therefore the sight, smell and sounds of the procedures are no longer a problem.

Advantages of Oral Sedation
Oral Sedation is an excellent method of treatment for patients who have any of the following concerns:

• Discomfort with Needles and Shots
• Dental Anxiety
• Difficulty Getting Numb
• Very Sensitive Teeth
• Extensive Dental Needs
