Having complex wisdom tooth removal surgery under IV Sedation but Dentist urging me to do Implants..
at same time. I'm really annoyed at the pressure he's placing on me as I am terrified enough about this one wisdom tooth which is partially erupted & impacted - laying horizontally so have opted to go under twilight sedation for it to be removed. This dentist is highly renowned for sedation dentistry but is pressuring me to do thousands of dollars in dental treatment, obviously because I have health insurance so on my second consult visit I advised I only want the wisdom tooth surgery as I'm too phobic about anything else right now & that's the urgent matter that needs to be dealt with. The dentist said fair enough for the other side but I still highly recommend that you do the implant on that same side near the wisdom tooth coming out. I felt pressured again & agreed but am now regretting it. I don't think I need implants anyway, they're for teeth that arent visible when I smile but I'm scared that if I demand to only have my wizzie out, that he could be sneaky & damage my other teeth while I'm under or stupid thoughts like that are going through my head. What should I do as I don't want to be dentist shopping as he has such a good reputation for safe sleep dentistry. Appreticate any advice you can give, thanks!!
