WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, November 16, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Westlake Village cosmetic dentist, Dr. David Hakimi, offers a variety of sedation dentistry options. Dental anxiety and phobias are extremely common. Those with dental anxiety or phobia are more likely to skip routine visits, which leaves them vulnerable to suffering from advanced dental diseases, and they are also more likely than others to delay needed treatments even when they are in pain. Sedation dentistry can help these patients take control of their fears and restore their dental health.

- Experience difficulty getting numb
- Are unable to control movements well
- Have a history of traumatic dental experiences
- Have not seen a dentist for years
- Are uncomfortable sitting for long periods
- Have physical or emotional issues that make it difficult for them to undergo dental treatment

Patients can take advantage of sedation dentistry during routine cleanings or more extensive treatments. Dr. David Hakimi offers comprehensive dental treatment that includes fillings, root canal treatments, crowns, bridges, veneers, Lumineers, Zoom 2 whitening, dentures, sports guards, night guards and oral cancer screening.
