Enjoy a Stress and Anxiety-Free Dental Experience.
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is the primary sedation option available to ensure your comfort during dental procedures at our practice. This gentle form of sedation can be personalized to meet your needs and is administered under the expert guidance of your dentist or specialist. The specific approach to sedation will be tailored to your individualized treatment plan and personal requirements.
Local Freezing
This trusted method is well-known to all. We take the time to gently numb the area and administer a precise local anesthetic injection, causing a specific section of your mouth to become temporarily numb. You might sense some pressure, but you won’t experience any pain.
Sedation
Our practice exclusively provides minimal sedation through the use of laughing gas. Through the administration of prescription medication or laughing gas, we achieve light to moderate sedation. This approach ensures you remain fully conscious while experiencing a profound state of relaxation. Often, this method of sedation is complemented by local anesthesia to enhance your comfort during the procedure.
The Benefits Of Dental Sedation
Sedation offers valuable solutions that enable us to cater to patients from diverse backgrounds, each with unique challenges to address. Here are some of the advantages of opting for sedation dentistry:
Overcoming Dental Anxiety
At times, the anxiety and apprehension leading up to a dental procedure can be more distressing than the treatment itself. Your dental anxiety should never be a barrier to receiving the necessary care. Whether you experience mild or severe dental anxiety that’s preventing you from seeking treatment, please don’t hesitate to communicate with us. We are here to provide assistance and support.
Make Time Fly By
During lengthy procedures that require you to remain in the chair with your mouth open for an extended duration, sedation ensures your relaxation and comfort. The procedure will conclude swiftly, and you’ll hardly notice the passage of time.
Tailored for Your Personal Needs
Do you have a sensitive gag reflex? Are you dealing with chronic restlessness or restless leg syndrome? Sedation can be immensely beneficial in a wide range of scenarios, ensuring that dental treatment remains accessible to everyone.
