»WHAT DO YOU DO FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND FEARFUL OF GOING TO THE DENTIST?
Dr. Derenzy is highly trained in Pain Management, and in a form of relaxation called Oral Conscious Sedation, which requires a special permit in the State of Oregon. Dr. Derenzy is a big advocate of pain-free dentistry so during your first “Happy Visit” we will discuss your options for Nitrous Oxide or Oral Conscious Sedation.

Nitrous Oxide is an excellent anxiety-reducer, as well as pain-reducer, and is completely safe and effective. The nice benefit of Nitrous Oxide is that it is completely gone from your system before you leave the office, meaning you can drive yourself to and from your appointment with no lingering effects. If we try Nitrous Oxide and it didn’t quite get you as comfortable as you would have liked, then the next option is Oral Conscious Sedation. Dr. Derenzy will prescribe you a pill that generally is taken the night before your appointment to help you sleep worry-free. You then take one pill an hour before your appointment, and you MUST have someone drive you to and from your appointment. Dr. Derenzy often calls this the “Magic Pill” because the success rates with highly anxious patients are phenomenal. Often you won’t even remember the appointment, and many patients actually sleep through the entire visit.
»WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST FOR A 55 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH LOTS OF OLD FILLINGS WHO WANTS A PRETTIER SMILE?
Obviously, there are many different needs for the variety of personalities and desires that individuals have. To be honest, there are many options. The first and easiest recommendation would be Teeth Whitening. This is very safe, very effective, and we are not irreversibly damaging the teeth. This would be the first phase in any Smile Rejuvenation. The next phase would be determining how large the old fillings are, so we could determine if these fillings need simple replacement, or would need a larger, more durable restoration like a porcelain crown or onlay. Once whitening is complete, we can then match the new whiter shade of the teeth to the new restorations to give a much more natural result. Now, if this lovely 55 year old woman had crooked and crowded teeth, or large spaces, then we would discuss Invisalign invisible braces to straighten the smile. In today’s fast-paced society, an instant result is often desired. We would then discuss what some call “instant braces,” which are simply Porcelain Veneers that give the appearance of straight, gorgeous teeth. Invisalign and Veneers would be pursued as the final phase of the Smile Rejuvenation. A lot of options are out there, and Dr. Derenzy would be very happy to discuss what your goals for your smile are.
»WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A NIGHT GUARD AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
How many days a week do you wake up feeling absolutely fabulous? Do you suffer from Neck pain or Migraine headaches? Not to answer a question with a question, but if you wake up not feeling fabulous every day but instead have sore jaw muscles and radiating neck pain or headaches at least 2 days a week, Dr. Derenzy can help. Try biting down on a pencil with your back teeth right now. Notice how tense the muscles alongside your back cheeks and temples get. Now bite on that pencil with your front teeth – see how the tension is gone from these areas. During periods of sleep or stress, many people clench subconsciously, causing extreme muscle activity that can lead to tension headaches or Migraine. Dr. Derenzy can analyze your symptoms, and often will decide to fabricate you a custom made NTi-Plus appliance that will often reduce or even eliminate your symptoms. This appliance has been FDA approved for treatment of Migraine! Some have called this nothing short of miraculous, as they have been to the Chiropractor, the Acupuncturist, or their physician. Ultimately the only thing they can do is to medicate themselves when the symptoms are already there. The approach Dr. Derenzy uses is to try to eliminate the cause of the headache, not to simply treat it with medication. If you could reduce or eliminate your headaches, how much would you pay for that? Many have paid in the thousands with disappointing results. The NTi-plus costs just $477, and generally we assume that your insurance will NOT pay for it. However, the benefits for headache sufferers, or even those who are simply grinding away their natural enamel far outweighs the cost of this appliance. It will help protect your teeth and likely improve your daily outlook on life if you are dealing with constant tension and headaches.


Dr. D's Dental Tips
Sensitive teeth? Try Sensodyne for two weeks. If that doesn’t help, come and see us at AGD. We can apply some desensitizing agents to your sensitive spots for as little as $25 per tooth that can give relief for years. It’s the little things that become big irritations to us in life, and sensitive teeth are something that we can help you with in a single visit, with no shots!
