SEDATION DENTISTRY
Sedation Dentistry
Dentistry while you sleep! At Sierra Dental Care, our staff is trained to manage even the most nervous patient.
Gone are the days of being nervous and anxious during a dental appointment. Today, you can sleep through your appointment. Don’t let your fear prevent you from getting the smile you deserve. Our gentle staff is highly trained to make every visit as efficient and comfortable as possible.
Types of Sedation Dentistry
We offer different levels of sedation to cater to your specific needs and preferences. These include:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Nitrous oxide is a safe and mild sedative administered through a mask placed over your nose. It induces a relaxed and euphoric state, making you feel more at ease throughout the procedure. The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your daily activities without any residual sedation.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: This form of sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment. The medication induces a deep sense of relaxation and drowsiness, enabling you to remain conscious and responsive but deeply relaxed. It’s important to have a designated driver accompany you to and from your appointment, as the effects may take some time to wear off.
- Intravenous (IV) Sedation: Administered directly into your bloodstream, IV sedation ensures a profoundly relaxed and anxiety-free state. This method allows our highly trained sedation dentists to adjust the dosage as needed, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. Like oral conscious sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you home following your appointment.
Choosing sedation dentistry at Sierra Dental Care offers numerous advantages, including:
- Anxiety Relief: Our sedation options effectively alleviate dental anxiety, allowing you to receive the dental care you need without fear or discomfort.
- Increased Comfort: Sedation dentistry ensures that you remain relaxed and pain-free throughout your treatment, minimizing any potential discomfort or sensitivity.
- Time Efficiency: Sedation can often make longer procedures feel shorter by altering your perception of time, helping to complete complex treatments in fewer appointments.
- Enhanced Oral Health: By overcoming your dental fears and anxieties, sedation dentistry encourages regular dental visits and necessary treatments, promoting optimal oral health and preventing future complications.
- Comprehensive Treatments: With sedation dentistry, we can perform multiple procedures in a single appointment, reducing the need for multiple visits and saving you time and effort.
