Step 1: We will evaluate your unique needs and recommend the ideal sedation dentistry option to help you relax in the dentist’s chair.
Step 2: We will administer your sedative medication before your procedure. You will still receive a local anesthetic to numb the area for your comfort. Our experienced team adheres to all recommended safety protocols and closely monitors you during treatment. Your well-being and safety are always top priorities.
Post Treatment: Unless you choose nitrous oxide sedation, which wears off right away, you will need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home and stay with you until the effects of your sedative wear off.
- Reducing Anxiety: Dental sedation helps patients relax, reducing anxiety and fear associated with dental visits. That makes it easier for individuals with dental anxiety to receive necessary dental care.
- Minimizing Discomfort: Sedation dentistry can help to relieve discomfort associated with dental procedures. Even for less invasive treatments, patients with sensitive teeth or those who have trouble sitting for long can benefit from its calming effects.
- Completing More Treatments in Fewer Visits: Sedation dentistry allows dentists to perform multiple procedures in one appointment. That is beneficial for patients with busy lifestyles or those who live far from the dentist’s office.
- Enhancing Patient Experience: By alleviating anxiety and minimizing discomfort, sedation dentistry can transform potentially stressful dental visits into more pleasant ones. That helps build positive associations with the dentist, making it more likely to seek future dental care.
