We aim to prevent disease and infection, by reducing patients’ fear associated with going to the dentist. We also want to support patients who want to improve their smile, to improve their self-confidence.

Byron R. Rome, DDS is pleased to offer sedation dentistry and the latest dental technology to patients in Gonzales, Louisiana. With upwards of 60% of Americans suffering from some degree of dental fear, and at least 20% avoiding dental treatment altogether due to fear, Dr. Byron hopes to help patients overcome their fear of going to the dentist.

As a full-service dental practice, providing preventative dental treatment and restorative treatment such as dental crowns, dental implants, dental bridges, fillings, and root canals, Dr. Rome offers nitrous oxide, conscious oral sedation, and the latest dental technologies including digital cameras, soft-tissue lasers, and noise-canceling headphones to all nervous patients.

“There are too many treatable conditions that people don’t address because going to the dentist frightens them. Unfortunately, when these small problems are left untreated, worsening problems develop,” Dr. Rome said. For example, cavities that are not filled will spread and deepen, potentially requiring a root canal and a dental crown. Missing teeth can lead to a shifting of other teeth, gum disease, and ultimately put patients at risk of losing additional teeth.

At his practice in Gonzales, nervous, anxious, and fearful patients may request safe, effective nitrous oxide, which is inhaled through a mask. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly with a low risk of side effects. Patients can also speak with Dr. Rome about conscious oral sedation options, which used a mild sedative that the patient takes before arriving for their appointment, along with local anesthesia.

Patients who are scheduled to undergo restorative treatments such as fillings, deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), and those who wish to improve their smiles with cosmetic services such as porcelain veneers, crowns, and bridges are also welcome to request sedation dentistry at Dr. Rome’s practice. Dr. Rome will consider the person’s medical history, current prescriptions, and more before determining the best way to help them manage their fear or anxiety.

“Our goals are to preserve natural teeth and to help patients achieve and maintain good oral health. Oral health impacts overall health and wellness. Many chronic conditions have been linked to poor oral care. We aim to prevent disease and infection, by reducing patients’ fear associated with going to the dentist. We prioritize creating a relaxed environment for people who need preventative and restorative care. We also want to support patients who want to improve their smile, to improve their self-confidence,” he added.
