We recognize that dental anxiety is common, yet it’s essential not to delay necessary treatments that are vital for your oral health. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you manage any anxiety you may feel during your visit.
Sedation Options Available
To enhance your comfort, we offer various sedation dentistry options tailored to your needs:
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
This popular method promotes relaxation while allowing you to remain awake and communicate with our dentist. The effects wear off quickly, enabling a smooth recovery.
Oral Conscious
Ideal for patients requiring extensive procedures, this sedative pill provides deeper relaxation. Please arrange for transportation, as the effects last longer than Nitrous Oxide.
Nucalm
This innovative platform utilizes neuroscience technology to foster deep relaxation without medication. Many patients report excellent results in reducing anxiety using this method.
Benefits of Dental Sedation
Dental sedation helps create a relaxed office environment by:
- Reduced Anxiety: Dental sedation helps alleviate nervousness, enabling you to receive essential care.
- Minimized Discomfort: Experience thorough dental services with minimal pain.
- Gag Reflex Management: Sedation can be beneficial for patients with a strong gag reflex
Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?
Yes! Sedation dentistry is safe when administered by a licensed professional. Dr. Susie has years of experience and conducts a thorough review of your health history to minimize risks and ensures that any medications you take will not interact negatively with sedatives.
Sedation for Children
We also provide sedation dentistry for children, particularly for more invasive procedures or for those who struggle to remain still during treatment.
Preparation Tips
Dr. Susie will provide specific pre-sedation instructions, which may include:
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose attire that helps you feel at ease.
- Avoid Food: You may need to refrain from eating on the day of your procedure; however, please follow specific pre-sedation instructions given to you
- Bring a Companion: A friend or family member should accompany you home post-treatment.
Post-Procedure Care
Recovery time varies depending on the treatment and sedation used. For minor procedures, you may be free to leave within about 30 minutes. Dr. Susie will give you detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your individual needs.
