Advanced Technology Meets Compassionate Care

We have built our practice over two generations through incorporating patient feedback, which allows us to provide world-class care in a comfortable setting. Over the years, we have learned that several patients experience crippling anxiety at the thought of dental surgery. Additionally, patients with medical conditions such as arthritis or cancer may be inhibited from undergoing dental treatment because of a lower threshold for pain. 

At Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Center, Dr. Valenzuela offers IV sedation dentistry to mitigate discomfort during surgeries, engaging the services of a specialist in anesthesiology and chronic pain management.

Neglecting treatment, however, only makes oral health issues worse with time, and can lead to tooth loss, advanced decay and periodontal disease, and infections. At Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Center, Dr. Valenzuela offers IV sedation dentistry to mitigate discomfort during surgeries, engaging the services of an anesthesiologist, who is a specialist in anesthesiology and chronic pain management.
