Expect a Warm Welcome
Visit at Ridgewood Dental Associates
As a premier restorative, aesthetic, and implant practice, there's no "typical" visit at Ridgewood Dental Associates. While some people just need a quick checkup, others are people in challenging situations and need specialized care. Whatever each patient needs, we offer everyone a warm welcome and compassionate ear.
Sedation Services
Comfort Is a Priority at Ridgewood Dental Associates
We offer many advanced treatments for complex concerns, but there's no reason that your dental care should be uncomfortable in any way. We ensure comfort by offering sedation options like nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. You will have the choice to include sedation with any treatment.
Dr. Mendia oversees our sedation services and has an extensive background in the field. He is a Diplomate of the National Board of Dental Anesthesiology and a Fellow of the American Society of Dental Anesthesiology. He has also completed specialized training in office-based anesthesia, so you won't have to receive your care in a separate facility.
The Power of Implants
To Rebuild a Smile
After a comprehensive evaluation with our specialty team led by our Prosthodontic and Periodontic experts, we designed a fully customized treatment plan using advanced digital technology and high-quality porcelain restorations.
