WHAT IS SEDATION DENTISTRY?

Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, is a specialized approach that uses medication to help patients achieve a deep state of relaxation during dental procedures. Don't worry, even though it's called "sleep dentistry," most patients stay awake throughout the process, except for those who receive general anesthesia. 


This method is particularly great for patients who feel anxious about dental visits or find it hard to sit still for long periods. By creating a calm and comfortable state, sedation dentistry ensures a smooth and stress-free dental experience, allowing both patients and dental professionals to work together in a relaxed environment. So, no need to stress, we've got you covered!

TYPES OF SEDATION USED IN DENTISTRY

At Art Dentistry Center, we use various types of sedation depending on the level of anxiety and type of procedure involved:

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as "laughing gas," Nitrous Oxide is a mild sedative that is inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. It induces a state of relaxation, and its effects wear off quickly after the gas supply is stopped, allowing patients to drive themselves home after procedures.


IV Sedation

Intravenous (IV) Sedation is a deep form of sedation administered directly into the bloodstream. It provides an immediate effect, and the level of sedation can be adjusted throughout the procedure. It is often used for more extensive procedures and for patients with higher levels of anxiety. Patients under IV sedation will need a companion to drive them home following the procedure.

POST-PROCEDURE CARE

After undergoing a procedure with sedation, you may feel a bit groggy or disoriented. We recommend arranging for someone to drive you home and stay with you for a few hours until the effects of the sedation wear off.
