Experience Dentistry Free From Stress And Anxiety
Anesthetic and sedation options are available to prevent you from feeling pain and discomfort during your dental procedure. There are several methods available and several may be combined to give you complete coverage. The type of sedation or anesthesia used will depend on your personalized treatment plan, your personal needs and the expert opinion of your dentist or specialist.
Types of Sedation
The different kinds of sedation available can be summed up into three major groups. We can temporarily numb the small area receiving the work, You can be sedated so you are still awake but completely relaxed, or you can sleep through your procedure with general anesthesia. Here’s some more information about each group:
Local Freezing
Everyone is familiar with this reliable standard. We patiently numb the area and then carefully inject a local anesthetic to put a small area of your mouth to sleep. You may feel pressure but will not feel pain.
Sedation
Using prescription medication, laughing gas or administered through an IV, with light to moderate sedation you will be completely conscious but totally relaxed. This method of sedation is often used along with local freezing.
Sleep dentistry
General anesthesia or deep sedation will make you very nearly or completely unconscious. Patients who remain awake often report not remembering a thing. You will remain relaxed and drowsy well after you wake up and will need someone to drive you home and stay with you.

The Benefits Of Dental Sedation
Sedation and sleep dentistry are useful options that help us serve patients from all walks of life with many different challenges to overcome. Some of the benefits of sedation dentistry are as follows:
Overcoming Dental Anxiety
The anxiety and fear associated with dental treatments can often seem more daunting than the treatment itself. Don’t let dental anxiety hinder you from getting the necessary care. Whether you experience mild or severe dental anxiety, or if fear is preventing you from seeking dental treatment, it’s important to communicate this. We are here to help and can offer solutions to make your dental experience more comfortable.
Make Time Fly By
Sedation is particularly beneficial for lengthy dental procedures that require you to remain seated with your mouth open for extended periods. It ensures that you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the process. With sedation, your procedure will seem to pass swiftly, and in cases where IV sedation is used, it might feel like only an instant has elapsed.
