As a prosthodontist, Dr. Nargiz Schmidt provides complex procedures such as full mouth reconstructions and dental implants. Often these services can be perceived as scary or make you feel anxious.

Dr. Schmidt offers numerous types of sedation dentistry to suit each patient’s unique needs and fears. Sedation dentistry offers an escape from anxiety so that you can receive the treatment you need without pain or fear.
Sedation dentistry can be categorized by different levels, from mild to severe and Dr. Schmidt is a specialist in working with patients with all forms of dental anxiety. For patients who choose sedation, Dr. Schmidt continues to practice the philosophy of conservative dentistry and provides minimally invasive techniques with a gentle touch.
