You No Longer
Need to Be Afraid
Personalized Sedation Dentistry?
If you’re one of the thousands of people in middle Tennessee who suffer from dental anxiety, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. That nagging sense of unease you get from avoiding the dentist for far too long, not to mention the fear that precedes actually forcing yourself to go to the dentist?
Imagine never having to experience those feelings again. Our dental team can help you.
Here at Laden & Batra Dentistry, Dr. Batra possesses advanced training, certification and equipment to deliver personalized sedation solutions. A popular treatment option called IV sedation dentistry can help eliminate your dental anxiety and fear, allowing you to relax and feel comfortable throughout your entire appointment.
Due to the type of medications used, you’ll remember little-to-nothing of your time in the dental chair the next day. It’s that simple.
We can work more efficiently and complete more treatment in fewer visits. It’s a great option if you need a large amount of dental care completed at one time, including dental implants, crown work, routine extractions, dentures, filling cavities, gum care, tooth whitening, bonding and typical hygiene.

Sedation can significantly reduce the gag reflex, making dental treatments more comfortable and manageable for patients who gag easily.
