What is Sedation Dentistry? What is Sleep Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry and Sleep dentistry are one and the same.  Sedation dentistry allows you to experience a virtually pain free dental visit!  Imagine snoozing off and have your dental work done.  You still have control of your own breathing and can respond to simple verbal requests.  Yet you don't feel and sense all the of the details that make a dental visit uncomfortable for some people.

Many patients are quite anxious when it comes to receiving necessary and comprehensive dental care.  They will avoid going to see their dentist just because they cannot stand the "feeling of a dental office." This neglect in turn leads them to having more severe dental problems.  All of this can be avoided with the use of sedation dentistry. 

Using a carefully monitored combination of Nitrous Oxide (commonly referred to as "laughing gas") and pills taken prior to the dental appointment, many times patients are so relaxed that they literally fall sleep in the chair!  What's more is the next day they have very little memory of what actually went on during their dental visit.

For the younger or the older individuals who need extensive dental treatment, but cannot tolerate multiple long dental visits, general anesthesia is suggested.  A qualified, licensed anesthesiologist is present throughout the dental treatment, safely maintaining the patient in a state of general anesthesia, while the dental team completes the necessary treatment expediently.

Sedation dentistry can be performed comfortably and successfully for almost everyone.  To see if you are a candidate for sedation dentistry and how we can help you achieve your dental goals, click here for a FREE consultation.
