“Everyone in the office is so friendly and welcoming! All of the dentists are amazing and I would recommend Powers Dental to everyone!!!”

Do you feel anxious or fearful at the thought of visiting the dentist? If so, you are not alone. Many people experience dental anxiety or phobia, which can prevent them from receiving the necessary oral healthcare. Fortunately, our team can help make your visit more comfortable with sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective way to ease your fears and help you relax during dental procedures. We offer various sedation options to suit your needs, including minimal sedation, moderate sedation, and general anesthesia.

Minimal sedation, also known as laughing gas, is a form of sedation that involves inhaling a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. This option can help you feel more relaxed and at ease, without causing you to lose consciousness.

Moderate sedation, on the other hand, induces a deeper state of relaxation, but you will still be able to respond to verbal cues from the dentist. This option is ideal for patients who experience moderate to severe dental anxiety or who require more extensive treatments.

General anesthesia, reserved for more complex oral surgeries, is a form of sedation that causes you to become unconscious. This option is typically used for procedures that involve significant pain or discomfort, such as wisdom teeth extractions or dental implant surgeries.

At our clinic, we prioritize your comfort and safety, and our experienced team will work with you to determine the best sedation option for your needs. Don’t let dental anxiety or phobia keep you from receiving the care you need. Contact us today to learn more about our sedation dentistry services.

Types of Sedation Dentistry We Provide to Patients

Sedation dentistry at our dental office helps patients relax and feel more comfortable during dental procedures, from simple cleanings to more complex surgeries.

We have dental professionals for several types of sedation dentistry, including:
Nitrous Oxide: Also known as “laughing gas,” a mild form of sedation inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. It can help patients feel relaxed and cope with anxiety during dental procedures.

Oral Sedation: This involves taking a pill before the procedure to help patients feel more relaxed and calm. The medication can range from mild to moderate sedatives, depending on the patient’s needs.

IV Sedation: This type involves administering the medication directly into the patient’s bloodstream through an IV. It can provide a deeper level of sedation than oral sedation, and we often use them for more complex dental procedures.

General Anesthesia: This is the most profound form of sedation and involves putting the patient into a state of unconsciousness. It is typically only used for complex surgical procedures.

Tips for Choosing Sedation Dentistry for You

If you are considering sedation dentistry, pay attention to these aspects.

Discuss Fears and Concerns with Dentist: We will help you understand the options available and recommend the best type of sedation for your needs. Make sure to provide our dentists with a detailed medical history and any medications you are currently taking.

Consider the Level of Sedation Needed: Depending on the complexity of your procedure and your level of anxiety, we may recommend a mild, moderate, or deep level of sedation. It’s essential to understand the effects of each type of sedation and discuss any concerns during your visit to our office.

Evaluate Your Overall Health: Certain medical conditions or medications may make you a poor candidate for sedation dentistry. We will evaluate your overall health and medical history to ensure safe sedation.

Check Dentist’s Credentials: Not all dentists are trained to administer all types of sedation. Our dentists have the training and certifications to safely administer sedation for your procedure.

Understand the Risks and Benefits: As with any medical procedure, sedation dentistry carries some risks. Therefore, it’s important to understand the potential side effects and complications associated with the type of sedation you choose and the benefits it can provide.

Considering these factors and discussing your options with our team can help you decide which sedation is right.
