SAY GOODBYE TO FEAR AND ANXIETY

Our sedation dentist helps you get quality and thorough dental treatment with no pain!
Sedation dentistry helps to provide both physical and psychological benefits by reducing fear, anxiety, and pain associated with dental procedures. Physically, sedation medications can reduce the sensations of pain during the procedure, as well as reduce fatigue and distress once the procedure is complete. Psychologically, sedation helps to create a relaxed and comfortable environment in which the patient can remain relatively stress-free throughout the appointment. It also offers practical benefits, such as reducing the amount of appointments needed for a given procedure as well as minimizing the patient’s risk for developing post-procedure complications. Furthermore, sedation can help to reduce the physical and psychological strain on the patient, allowing them to feel more comfortable during their appointments and have a better overall experience.

REDUCES STRESS & ANXIETY

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help people relax and reduce their fear of dental procedures. It can be used to help manage pain, reduce gagging, and minimize fear, stress, and anxiety. Sedation dentistry also helps the dentist by allowing shorter appointments, since patients can remain calm and cooperative for longer periods of time during the procedure.

REDUCED PAIN

Sedation dentistry helps to reduce pain in various ways. It relaxes the patient, allowing the dentist to perform dental procedures more quickly and efficiently, with less stress and discomfort for the patient. Also, sedation medications can provide relief from the sensation of pain, or even eliminate it altogether.

FEWER APPOINTMENTS

It can lead to fewer appointments because the patient is relaxed and cooperative for longer periods of time. As a result, the dentist can perform larger procedures in a single appointment, which can save the patient time and money. In addition, when a patient is sedated, they are less aware of the passage of time and less likely to experience fatigue or distress during the procedure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some questions you may be wondering about
How does sedation dentistry work?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. The medication can vary and typically is administered through a pill or IV to induce a relaxed state. Depending on the procedure, the patient may become so relaxed that they enter a sleep-like state, allowing the dentist to work without interruption.
Do you feel pain with oral sedation?
Generally, with oral sedation the patient will not feel any pain. However, there is a risk of experiencing some uncomfortable sensations such as lightheadedness or a feeling of detachment from their body. It is important to talk to your doctor about possible side effects before taking any sedation.
How long does it take to wake up after sedation?
The time it takes to wake up after sedation depends on the type of medication used and the amount administered. Generally, oral sedation will wear off within 4-6 hours, whereas IV sedation may take longer. It is important to rest and allow the medication to wear off before returning to normal activities.
Is sedation dentistry dangerous?
Sedation dentistry is generally considered to be safe when performed by an experienced dentist. There are risks associated with any type of sedation, such as adverse reactions to the medication or feeling faint during the procedure. However, these risks can be minimized by carefully selecting a qualified sedation provider and discussing any potential risks involved before undergoing a procedure.
