Sedation Dentistry

With sedation dentistry, the clinic utilizes safe and effective techniques to induce a state of relaxation.

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a popular dental procedure used to effectively address and correct the discoloration that occurs on teeth due to the presence of brown and yellow stains.

The term “teeth whitening” encompasses a diverse range of techniques and procedures that are specifically designed to enhance the whiteness and brightness of an individual’s teeth, ultimately improving their overall smile aesthetics.

One common cause of tooth staining is the consumption of certain foods and drinks.

Beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sodas contain pigmented compounds called chromogens that can adhere to the tooth enamel and cause discoloration over time.

Similarly, foods with strong colorants, such as berries and sauces, can contribute to tooth stains. Tobacco use, whether in the form of smoking or chewing, is another significant factor that can lead to yellowing or darkening of teeth.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry offers individuals with general anxiety about going to the dentist or fears about a specific dental procedure the opportunity to have a stress free and more comfortable experience.

Utilizing safe and controlled sedation techniques prior to the dental procedure the patient is eased into a state of complete relaxation.

This eliminates any discomfort, pain, and preoperative anxiety that may be associated with a particular dental visit. With sedation dentistry patients typically feel more at ease post-operatively as they have little or no memory of the actual moment-to-moment dental procedure.

What Are The Benefits Of Sedation?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients feel relaxed during dental treatments. Medications that fall into this category include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation. Some deeper levels of sedation also induce deep sleep, which can be used during long surgical procedures.

What Can I Expect During Sedation?

The sedative administered by our professional team is specifically designed to induce a state of drowsiness, allowing you to relax during the procedure. While under the effects of the sedative, you will still retain the ability to respond to the dentist’s questions and follow their commands. This ensures open communication and cooperation between you and the dental team throughout the treatment process. Rest assured, even in this relaxed state, our dedicated dentist will be attentive to your needs and guide you through the procedure with care and precision.
