Sedation Dentistry

Pain-Free Appointments

During your dental appointment, our dentists will administer local anesthesia to block any pain or sensation in the treatment area. To further increase the calmness and comfort you feel during your appointment, we can also administer sedatives intravenously.

Faster Dental Care

If you have widespread oral health issues, it can seem virtually impossible to sit through various lengthy dental appointments. By keeping you relaxed, sedation dentistry can help our dentists work faster, allowing you to get the oral care you need in fewer appointments.

Reduced Anxiety

A smooth, comfortable appointment can improve the relationship you have with your dentist. Rather than avoiding the dentist, you might start to look forward to your next visit. By alleviating your dental anxiety, sedation can help you maintain healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime.

Anxiety

For many people, the mere mention of visiting the dentist is enough to induce extreme anxiety. Even those who are in serious need of dental attention may not even be able to get themselves to call a dentist, let alone visit one. Individuals who suffer from dental anxiety can finally get the care they need thanks to sleep dentistry.

Traumatic Experiences

If you suffered a bad experience with a previous dentist, endured more pain and discomfort than you thought you should have, or you were dealt with in an abrasive manner, you may be hesitant about visiting the dentist again. By administering gentle care, our doctors can help you feel at ease in the office.

Fear of Pain

Many individuals with a low threshold for pain or who have extensive oral health issues are worried about the possible pain that may occur during their visit. Sedatives keep you calm, relaxed, or even unaware of the dental care that is being completed, so you won't have any memory of the pain.

Need for Extensive Dental Work

One of the greatest advantages of sedation dentistry is that a great deal of dentistry can be completed in a short period of time. In some cases, many years of untreated and neglected dental work can be completed in as little as one or two visits.

A Tight Schedule

Another advantage of sleep dentistry is the overall reduction of post-operative pain and recovery time, meaning that patients can return to their normal routines quickly and painlessly. If you have a busy, hectic lifestyle, sedation may be an option for you. 

Other Conditions

If you suffer from a condition that does not allow you to be comfortable in the dental chair, sedation can also help.

Whatever your history may be, our dentists would love to show you how sedation dentistry can make your visit more comfortable, relaxed, and pain-free. Our doctors also pride themselves on their gentle chair-side manner and will take as much time as necessary to answer any questions that you may have.

From routine cleanings and exams to full-mouth smile makeovers, almost any dental treatment can be completed successfully using sedation dentistry.
