Sedation Dentistry

Taking care of your teeth and going to the dentist should be a comfortable experience for you, no matter what. That’s why we offer comfortable accommodations, the latest dental technology, and sedation dentistry as one of our dental services, to allow our patients to experience relief from anxiety or hypersensitivity!

What is sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is routine dentistry that includes the use of medication to help patients to relax during their procedures. There are many types of sedation available for various dental procedures. Our office offers nitrous oxide, which is a safe and effective inhaled sedative that helps patients to relax and wears off quickly after their visit, allowing anxious patients to have a comfortable procedure that they can drive home from. We also have general anesthesia available for more invasive and uncomfortable procedures.

Is sedation dentistry right for you?

Only you and your dentist can make a final decision on whether or not sedation dentistry is a good choice for fighting your anxiety. Your current state of health plays a major role in whether or not sedation is a safe and healthy choice for you, and the dentist will take your medical history or may ask for clearance from your primary physician before administering sedation. Your dentist may also want to try other options or accommodations for making sure that you have the best and most comfortable care.

Other options

If sedation is not a good fit, there are other options for relieving pain and anxiety that are available. Make sure that you choose a dentist that prioritizes comfort and accommodation, and discuss your anxiety and find out what options are available to you as a patient. Just having a comfortable chair, soothing music, and topical anesthetic for your teeth and gums might go a long way toward creating a painless and anxiety-free dental experience!

Even if you’ve been avoiding the dentist due to anxiety or sensitivity, there’s nothing to be afraid of, with our friendly staff and availability of sedation dentistry services. Visit our website or give us a call at 720-459-8420 to learn more about us and schedule your appointment today.
