Sunset Periodontics & Implant Dentistry-West Columbia

I had a gum graft performed by Dr. Mize in mid-July, 2018. I have to be one of those patients that every dental practice dreads, as I have a severe gag reflex and am very nervous at a dental visit. The prospect of having anything done, let alone a major procedure, was simply terrifying. From the first meeting, Dr. Mize was very patient and considerate and even took a separate phone call from me to discuss treatment options. I have a condition that requires a pre-med and surprise - I also have trouble taking large pills. The staff was very kind and made arrangements for all the medication I would need before and after the procedure to be provided in liquid form, which was a tremendous help for me. On the day of the appointment, I was incredibly nervous. The staff helped by remaining calm and reassuring me. Dr. Mize administered the IV sedation and within a few moments, I was completely unaware of anything being done. When I regained awareness, the procedure was almost over and I wasn't afraid or uncomfortable. I'm amazed that I was able to have this procedure completed and so very thankful to Dr. Mize and the entire staff for working with me to have this important work done to protect my teeth and overall health. If necessary, I would be absolutely comfortable having IV sedation with Dr. Mize's supervision again in the future.
