Pediatric Dentistry
Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics is the place to go for complete and comprehensive dental care for your children (6 months - 15 years).
Sedation Dentistry
At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, we are experts on sedation dentistry, with conscious sedation dentistry designed to make you comfortable at our locations in Crestview, Pensacola, Mary Esther, and Santa Rosa Beach.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics have the credentials necessary to perform conscious sedation dentistry. We specialize in the use of sedation dentistry particularly for young children who might otherwise be afraid of the dentist or the discomfort associated with more intensive dental processes, but also for adults who are anxious about getting an important procedure done.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry gives Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics patients true peace of mind and comfort while enabling our dental team of experts to perform their work with great care and concentration. Our approach guarantees that you will have the most comfortable and smooth dentist visit, with an experience that is safe, effective, and FDA-approved. You will be on your way to a healthy, beautiful smile, with no stress!
Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?
Sedation dentistry at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics is extremely safe, and because we’re the only provider in the area with the credentials necessary to perform conscious sedation dentistry, you know you’re in good hands. We utilize three types of sedation dentistry: laughing gas, IV sedation, and oral sedation. We always carefully evaluate every patient’s medical history beforehand, which is why you can rest assured that sedation dentistry is a safe procedure.
How is Sedation Dentistry Performed?
With our friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, and ultra-high quality treatment, it’s no wonder so many patients choose the comfy way with Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics. Laughing gas acts as an analgesic (painkiller) as well as instills a sense of relaxation and cooperation. It is used in many medicinal procedures on both adults and children.
IV Sedation Dentistry
Do you have any fear or anxiety about going to the dentist? Ideal for those patients who wish to combine a variety of intensive procedures into one visit, IV conscious sedation dentistry using an IV applied by an anesthesiologist is often the best choice in such cases. During these procedures, patients may go back and forth between a conscious and unconscious state, and hours can start to feel like minutes. This method does have some lasting side effects following your procedure and patients will need an escort to return home.
Dental Implants
Among our areas of world-class expertise is our high-level capacity with dental implants, including zygomatic implants, and part of the reason that we are so popular for patients seeking dental implants is because of our tremendous expertise in sedation dentistry and IV sedation dentistry.
Recovery from Sedation Dentistry
After your dental procedure is complete, we will turn off the laughing gas and let you breathe normally. This will flush any remaining gas out of your system, and you will become more alert and normal.
How Much Does Sedation Dentistry Cost?
Dental insurance may cover certain types of sedation dentistry. Check with your provider to see if it is covered by your plan. If you do not have dental insurance, Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics offers convenient financing options through CareCredit® and OrthoBanc® to help make sedation dentistry and related procedures more affordable.

Orthodontics
When your teeth are crooked or misaligned, or you need to correct your bite, your dentist will direct you towards a special division of dentistry called “orthodontics.” Orthodontists work with you to keep your teeth and mouth in good physical shape and alignment.
Invisalign
Instead of metal braces, many patients prefer Invisalign® – a cosmetic dental procedure that straightens and aligns your teeth using clear and removable trays. These trays are comfortable and changed approximately every other week to gradually shift the position of your teeth over time.
Braces
When your teeth are crooked, crowded, irregularly spaced, out of alignment, or protruding, braces are typically the go-to treatment method to correct them. Available for use on patients of all ages, braces use metal brackets to gradually reposition teeth and ultimately provide a healthier, more attractive smile.
Retainers
A retainer is custom-made, composed of plastic and metal, and fits inside your teeth to help maintain the correct positioning of your teeth.
Zygomatic Dental Implants
Zygomatic implants are a more advanced form of dental implants specifically used with the upper jaw when the jaw is resorbed or eroded following tooth removal. These implants provide the support for upper implant bridgework where other implants do not work.
Periodontics
One of the things that distinguishes and differentiates Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics from other dental care providers is that we have all the experts you need for perfect oral health under one roof, including periodontics.

Crown lengthening helps to expose more of your natural tooth so your mouth can be better prepared for a necessary cosmetic or restorative procedure or to address and improve the health of your natural gum line.
Gum Disease
Our gums are a key to our wellbeing because they keep our teeth strongly rooted and empower our ability to function and preserve our facial structure for optimal personal appearance.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry combines the art of aesthetics, the knowledge of dental structures, and the science behind technological innovations in order to make your teeth look and feel their best.
Dental Bridges
A bridge is placed to correct teeth that sit on either side of a gap. A dental bridge can restore your smile, while also maintaining your face shape. Perhaps most importantly, a well-placed bridge will prevent your other teeth from falling out of alignment.
Dental Crowns
Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.
Dentures
Tooth loss is challenging on many levels. Not only can it affect what you eat and how you chew leading to more serious health concerns, but it can also make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. We want you to be your best self. Dentures may help you get there.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are a thin, protective coating that bonds to the surface of your teeth. When properly applied, sealants can help prevent cavities. Best of all, sealants do not require numbing or drilling and are generally painless. Developed to ward off decay before it affects a tooth, they are most commonly used on those teeth most prone to cavities.
Porcelain Inlays
Porcelain inlays are hard; custom manufactured inserts that are usually placed in larger cavities and areas where there is less tooth structure.
Porcelain Onlays
Porcelain onlays are often referred to as partial crowns, and they are generally placed on your existing tooth as a base and fitted onto the tooth.
Teeth Cleaning
At Comfort Dental, we believe that getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.
Composite Fillings
When decay occurs in a tooth, it’s important to take steps right away to address the issue. A filling is used to treat a decaying tooth and halt the spread of further tooth decay. Composite fillings are made of a natural resin composite material, as opposed to metal fillings.
Extractions
While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Veneers
When it comes to efficient solutions for helping you achieve that beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, one of the most popular, effective, and fastest methods is porcelain veneers.
Dental Implants
When teeth are lost, dentists typically replace them with full or partial dentures. Dental implants are permanent posts that act as “roots” for the replacement teeth.
Same-Day Implants
The dentists at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics use the All-on-4® procedure to fit patients with a fixed prosthesis that is supported by four implants.
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are smaller dental implants that work in the same manner as traditional dental implants. Because they are smaller in diameter, it is necessary to have a very precise replacement so that they function correctly.
