Understanding Sedation Dentistry
What It Is
Sedation dentistry utilizes medication to provide a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for individuals undergoing dental treatment. It’s ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety or for procedures that may be more complex or prolonged.
Who Can Benefit
Whether you are apprehensive about visiting the dentist or you’re planning for a procedure like full dental implants that might require extended time in the chair, sedation dentistry could be the perfect solution for you.
Types of Sedation
At New Image Dentistry, we offer several types of sedation—including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation—tailored to the needs and preferences of our patients. General anesthesia is also provided by our anesthesiologist.
Sedation Dentistry FAQs
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s sometimes referred to as “sleep dentistry,” except in cases where general anesthesia is used.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, when administered by experienced professionals like those at New Image Dentistry, sedation is a safe and effective way to minimize dental anxiety and discomfort.
Will I be completely unconscious?
Not necessarily. The level of sedation ranges from minimal, where you’re awake but relaxed, to general anesthesia, where you’ll be completely unconscious.
How long does the sedation effect last?
The duration of sedation effects depends on the type used. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral sedation or general anesthesia might require more time and a responsible adult to drive you home after the procedure.
