Choose Sedation for Easier Dental Treatments

It’s a wonderful feeling to have a smile you feel confident showing off to others. It can leaving a lasting impression that people remember for years. However, dental fear can get in the way of necessary treatments that protect your best feature. Sedation is a wonderful way to get through your appointments without anxiety or fear. You can choose:

  • Inhaled Sedation –  With this safe and gentle method, you breathe in through a mask and feel a gentle sense of euphoria throughout the appointment. It wears off fast, so you can drive home easily. It’s even safe for children.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – Before your appointment, you’ll take a small pill that will help feel completely calm when you arrive. You’ll likely remember little if anything about your procedure. You will need a ride home because of its lasting impact.
  • IV Sedation – This is the deepest level of sedation, perfect for patients dealing with extensive or lengthy procedures. You stay fully at ease and in a dreamlike frame of mind. You’ll need to arrange for a ride home with this option as well.

In addition to our sedation options, we also have comfort items to help you feel content during your appointment. You’ll appreciate:

  • Relaxing with heated massage chairs

Common Questions About Sedation Options

Does sedation dentistry work for most patients?

Over the years, we have found that at least one of our three sedation options will benefit any patient. If you’re nervous about your visit with us, you’ll have your choice of sedation options. We’ll discuss each one in detail, answer any questions you have about sedation, and help you decide on the method that’s right for you.

What sedation options are available to me?

We offer three kinds of sedation: inhaled sedation (also called laughing gas), oral sedation in the form of a prescription pill, and IV sedation, which is administered intravenously. We’ll help you choose the kind of sedation that will work best for you. Among other factors, we’ll consider your medical history, your anxiety level, and the type of procedure you’re undergoing.

Are your sedation options safe?

Yes, our sedation dentistry is completely safe because it is expertly administered and monitored by our trained team. Inhaled sedation uses mild laughing gas, which is safe even for children. Oral conscious sedation works using a small, FDA-approved pill, and IV sedation can be adjusted throughout treatment. You can feel confident in our team’s ability to use our dental sedation options for your benefit.
