How Sedation Dentistry Works

Dental fear doesn't exist at with our many relaxation options.

If you’ve been putting a dentist visit off for too long because of your fear, then sedation dentistry may be for you. Your oral health is so important and affects your overall health, so it’s essential that you visit the dentist twice a year or as needed for maintenance and dental work.

Options include minimal sedation and moderate sedation. You’re conscious for all. The process isn’t complicated.

  • Step 1

    Before treatment, we’ll discuss medical history, allergies, and medication to ensure that sedation dentistry is safe for you. Then we’ll determine the type needed for the anxiety level and the procedure.

  • Step 2

    You’re given the best sedation option for your needs and procedure.

  • Step 3

    We proceed with the dentist visit while you feel at ease. Along with the sedation medicine, our dentist may use a local anesthetic to ensure the area is numb and doesn’t cause any discomfort.

Not going to the dentist can cost you more money, time, and stress in the long run. An untreated dental problem can become a big issue if ignored. Let us help you maintain or fix your teeth and gums and help you feel at ease with sedation dentistry at , .

FAQ about Sedation Dentistry

  • What is used for dental sedation?

    There are different types of sedation dentistry options, including inhaled minimal sedation through nitrous oxide, oral sedation in pill form typically prescribed and taken before treatment, and IV moderate sedation in which a sedative enters the body via a vein.

    You’ll be given the best option for your needs, and we’ll also consider your history, medications, and procedure.

    There’s also deep sedation general anesthesia in which medications will make one nearly unconscious or asleep. The dentist wakes you up when the procedure is done. If used, you’ll be given instructions before and after your appointment. This is not typical for normal sedation dentistry but can be used for more serious dental work or special instances.

  • How much does dental sedation cost?

    The costs of dental sedation depend on each patient, and your dental insurance may cover it depending on your provider.
