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?
- A more relaxed dental experience
- No memory of the treatment
- Less time spent in the dentist’s chair
- The ability to receive multiple procedures at once
- Decreased dental anxiety
Comprehensive Sedation Options
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask, inducing a state of relaxation and reducing anxiety. It wears off quickly, allowing you to resume your daily activities without any lingering effects.z
- Oral Sedation: Administered in the form of a pill or liquid, oral sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. You will remain conscious but feel significantly more at ease throughout your dental procedure.
- IV Sedation: Intravenous sedation delivers medication directly into your bloodstream, allowing for precise control of the sedation level. This method is ideal for individuals with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing complex 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.
