Experience Dentistry Free From Stress And Anxiety
We offer a variety of anesthetic and sedation options to ensure you remain free from pain and discomfort during your dental procedure. Depending on your treatment plan and unique needs, your dentist or specialist will determine the most appropriate type of sedation or anesthesia, with the option to combine methods for full coverage.
Types of Sedation
Sedation options fall into three main categories: localized numbing, conscious sedation, or full sedation with general anesthesia. Here’s an overview of each:
Local Freezing
This tried-and-true method involves numbing a specific area before applying a local anesthetic to ensure you won’t feel any pain, though you may notice some pressure.
Sedation
With light to moderate sedation, using either medication or laughing gas, you’ll remain fully awake but deeply relaxed. This technique is often paired with local freezing for added comfort.
The Benefits of Dental Sedation
Sedation and sleep dentistry offer valuable solutions for patients facing various challenges. Here are some key benefits of sedation dentistry:
Overcoming Dental Anxiety
Fear or anxiety about dental visits shouldn’t stop you from getting the care you need. Whether you experience mild or severe dental anxiety, sedation can help you feel at ease throughout your treatment.
Make Time Fly By
For lengthy procedures, sedation keeps you relaxed and comfortable, making time seem to pass quickly. If IV sedation is used, you’ll feel as though the procedure is over in an instant.
Tailored to Your Personal Needs
Whether you have a strong gag reflex, chronic restlessness, or difficulty with local freezing, sedation can make treatment more comfortable and accessible, ensuring your needs are fully met.
