History
Welcome to Chico Creek Dental Arts! Here at CCDA we understand that many people have deep-rooted fears and anxiety related to going to the dentist. Virtually half of the population does not seek regular dental care due mainly to anxiety and the fear of pain associated with dental treatment. At Chico Creek Dental Arts, our mission is to provide state-of-the-art dental services in a safe, relaxing, and anxiety free manner. We accomplish this via the use of intravenous medications and other forms of sedation. We have been providing intravenous (IV) sedation to our patients for well over 30 years in Chico. IV sedation is not reserved for only the fearful. It is very effective for patients with severe gag reflex, difficulty in getting numb, and those patients that would like to have the maximum amount of work done in the minimum amount of time!
Specialties
I.V. Sedation is one of the most effective forms of dental sedation. The technique uses medications to relieve pain and sedate the patient. The drugs are administered directly into the veins producing a very relaxed state. Dr. Ryan was one of the first 100 dentists in California to obtain a permit to administer this form of sedation for dentistry.
