Benefits of Dental Sedation
Dental sedation isn’t just about relaxation; it’s about creating a more comfortable and efficient dental experience.
Fear and Anxiety: Say goodbye to dental jitters. Sedation dentistry provides a calm and stress-free experience.
Gag Reflex: Sedation dentistry provides relief to those with gag reflexes, making procedures more comfortable and tolerable.
Multiple Treatments at Once: With the help of sedation, you can combine multiple treatments in a single visit, saving you time and reducing the need for multiple appointments.
You deserve a dental experience free from fear and discomfort. Discover the transformative benefits of dental sedation with us.
Oral Sedation: Your Path to Stress-Free Dentistry
Oral sedation is your ticket to dental bliss. Unlike traditional anesthesia, you remain awake and aware during the procedure, but the anxiety and tension melt away.
One of the primary advantages of oral sedation is its simplicity. There are no needles or invasive procedures involved. You take a pill as instructed by our team, typically about an hour before your appointment, and as the medication takes effect, you’ll begin to feel at ease and worry-free.
Our experienced team carefully monitors your vital signs throughout your visit to ensure a safe and comfortable experience from start to finish.
IV Sedation: Deeper Relaxation, Total Comfort
IV sedation, or intravenous sedation, takes dental relaxation to a deeper level. Administered through a vein, it provides a profound sense of calm and relaxation while allowing you to remain conscious.
Before your procedure, a board-certified anesthesiologist carefully administers the sedative intravenously. You’ll quickly enter a tranquil state, free from dental anxiety or discomfort. The anesthesiologist closely monitors your vital signs throughout your treatment to ensure safety.
IV sedation is ideal for those with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures. It offers a worry-free dental experience, allowing our team to work efficiently and effectively.
Nitrous Oxide: Light, Calming Sedation
Nitrous Oxide, or “laughing gas,” offers a gentle form of sedation and induces a light, calming sensation.
A mask delivers a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, which allows you to relax while remaining fully conscious and responsive. One of the key advantages is that the effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed so that you can return to your daily activities without any lingering grogginess.
Nitrous oxide is an excellent choice for those with mild to moderate dental anxiety or for procedures of shorter duration. It provides a stress-free experience, making your dental visit feel like a breeze.
Dr. Betts went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable after I voiced my anxieties at the beginning of my appointment. By the end of the appointment (two fillings, one very large) I was completely at ease. Her personality, and the kindness of her staff really makes you feel at home and like you are their top priority, a human being not just a set of teeth.
