Keeping Treatment Comfortable
Sedation options are an effective way to receive the dental care you need without the stress and anxiety that may come with visiting our offices. There's no reason to feel pain or anxiety during dental treatment. And all it takes to get started with sedation dentistry is a simple conversation with your AMOS surgeon.
All methods of sedation dentistry are provided by qualified professionals at our office, and have minimal side effects. While deeper methods of sedation like oral conscious sedation and IV sedation have more prolonged side effects compared to laughing gas, they are still very safe, and they have no serious risks to your health or well-being if you are a good candidate for sedation.
Primarily, sedation is used to treat dental anxiety. Dental anxiety is a very common issue, and can often prevent patients from getting the dental care they need. If you are anxious or nervous about coming to the dentist, sedation can help you feel safer and more comfortable.
Sedation helps with pain and discomfort during more invasive procedures, such as tooth extractions and dental implant placement. It also helps you feel more comfortable if you require multiple dental procedures and need to sit still for a few hours during treatment.
IV sedation will usually make you feel groggy and “out of it”. You will likely fall asleep and probably won’t remember much about your procedure. However, you will not be unconscious, and you can still be aroused and then respond to commands.
As long as you are fairly healthy, do not have an active history of drug abuse, and are not taking any medications that may interfere with the sedation process, you should be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Contact us to learn more about your options, and to get the conversation started.
