Today, millions of Americans avoid necessary dental care because of fears that are largely unfounded. After many years of neglect, these patiens have suffered pain, embarrassment, deteriorated self-esteem, and lowered quality of life. Since the years of UCLA Dental school, Dr. Baik has had special concerns and interests in this unfortunate group of patients.  That is why he has dedicated his professional career in Sedation Dentistry. With many different options of sedation, ranging from nirous oxide (also called as laughing gas) to oral and I.V. Sedation, he has helped and treated countless fearful patients successfully.

With the latest techniques of sedation dentistry, Dr Baik's patients do not receive dental treatments with fear anymore. They will just enjoy a soothing mental and emotional "distance" from the procedure. Hours will seem like minutes. Before you know it, the treatment is complete and it's time to go home with the smile you've been dreaming about. And remember.... anyone can receive IV sedation for any type of dental work, even a cleaning!

Another important aspect of sedation dentistry is patient safety. Dr. Baik reviews complete medical history and makes sure his patients are treated safely. He also closely monitors important vital signs (Blood Pressure, Pulse, and Oxygen Saturation level) second by second during the procedure. Furthermore, with the latest I.V. technique, sedation can be performed with much higher degree of safety.  Thanks to Tituration technique of I.V. Sedation- patients are sedated precisely to the proper level without any guessing work of possible over-sedation or under-sedation.

Dr. Baik has completed a series of extensive traing at University of Southern California in order to provide you with the option of IV sedation. He is proudly certified by the California Dental Association in Conscious Sedation. So if you're apprenhensive about the dentistry, the first step is to call Dr. Baik and his team. They will work with you to eliminate the discomfort and fear that are often barriers to having a healthy and beautiful mouth.
