What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental treatment. Although often referred to as “sleep dentistry,” most sedation methods allow patients to remain awake and responsive. Sedation levels can range from mild relaxation to deep sedation or general anesthesia, where the patient is fully unconscious. The primary purpose of sedation is to create a comfortable, anxiety-free dental experience so patients can receive essential care without stress or discomfort.
Our Sedation Options for a Relaxed Experience
IV Sedation
IV sedation is a safe and highly effective option that allows sedation medication to be customized to your specific needs. Delivered directly into the bloodstream, it works quickly and provides a deep level of relaxation. The sedation level can be adjusted throughout your procedure to ensure maximum comfort.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a safe and commonly used sedation method that helps patients feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. Administered through a small mask worn over the nose, it produces a soothing effect and helps reduce anxiety and discomfort.
Benefits of Choosing Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry can significantly improve your overall dental experience, particularly if you feel anxious or uneasy about dental visits. Benefits include:
- Reduced Anxiety: Helps ease nervousness and fear during appointments
- Comfortable, Pain-Free Treatment: Minimizes discomfort throughout procedures
- Time Savings: Allows multiple treatments to be completed in a single visit
- Improved Results: A relaxed patient helps dentists achieve better outcomes
Sedation Options Tailored to Your Needs
At Restoration Smiles, we offer several sedation choices based on your comfort level and the complexity of your procedure:
- Nitrous Oxide: A mild sedative that works quickly and wears off fast, allowing you to drive yourself home after treatment.
- IV Sedation: Administered intravenously for deeper sedation, ideal for longer or more complex procedures and severe anxiety. You’ll need someone to accompany you home afterward.
