Oral Sedation: Relaxing and Easy
What Is Oral Sedation?
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you relax. The medication is typically a benzodiazepine, which induces a state of deep calm while keeping you awake and aware.
Benefits of Oral Sedation:
- Easy to administer: Simply take the pill before your treatment.
- Anxiety relief: Helps patients feel calm and relaxed throughout the procedure.
- Amnesia effect: Many patients have little to no memory of the treatment.
Oral sedation is ideal for patients with mild to moderate anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures. It allows you to remain conscious but feel deeply relaxed, helping ease any dental fears.
Nitrous Oxide: Gentle Relaxation with Laughing Gas
What Is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It produces a calming, euphoric feeling that helps reduce anxiety while keeping you fully awake and able to respond to instructions.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide:
- Quick onset and recovery: The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home after the procedure.
- Adjustable sedation level: We can easily control the amount of sedation during your treatment.
- Safe and effective: Suitable for both adults and children.
Nitrous oxide is a great option for patients who feel nervous about dental treatments but want to remain alert. It’s often used for shorter procedures or as a supplement to other sedation methods.
IV Sedation: Deeper Relaxation for Complex Procedures
What Is IV Sedation?
IV sedation involves administering a sedative medication directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. This type of sedation creates a deeper state of relaxation, allowing you to drift in and out of sleep while remaining responsive to the dental team.
Benefits of IV Sedation:
- Quick and effective: Works almost immediately, providing a deeper level of relaxation.
- Customizable: The sedation level can be adjusted throughout the procedure for maximum comfort.
- Ideal for longer or complex treatments: Great for patients with severe anxiety or those undergoing oral surgery.
IV sedation is administered by our skilled team under the supervision of Dr. Bagheri, ensuring your safety and comfort. It is particularly useful for patients with significant dental phobia or those needing extensive treatments.
General Anesthesia: Complete Comfort and Peace of Mind
What Is General Anesthesia?
General anesthesia is the deepest form of sedation, rendering you completely unconscious during the procedure. It is typically reserved for complex oral surgeries or for patients with special healthcare needs or severe dental anxiety who prefer not to be aware of the treatment.
Benefits of General Anesthesia:
- Total unconsciousness: You won’t feel any pain or remember the procedure.
- Comprehensive comfort: Ideal for patients with extreme dental phobia or special healthcare needs.
- Monitored care: Administered and monitored by a trained professional to ensure your safety.
General anesthesia is usually performed under the care of Dr. Bagheri, who has extensive training in its use for oral surgery. We provide this option for patients requiring major surgical procedures or those who need extra reassurance for a stress-free experience.
