Experience A More Calming Dental Visit With Sedation Solutions
We proudly offer sedation in Sherwood Park, AB, to patients who struggle with dental-related anxiety, have trouble sitting still in the dentist's chair, and require multiple procedures during one appointment. Sedation solutions may be ideal for you, whether you are undergoing a single complex treatment or several procedures during one visit!
What Is Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves our patient taking a prescribed pill orally about an hour before the dental procedure commences. The prescription for the sedative will be available only from our team. This method is designed to help you feel calm and relaxed but conscious and responsive throughout your appointment. The effects may induce a deep state of tranquility, which can help combat some anxieties and make for a more seamless dental visit.
What Is IV Sedation?
Intravenous (IV) sedation is administered via an IV line and can deliver a deeper level of sedation while allowing you to react to verbal prompts but not feel sensations the way you usually would. This method may allow our dentist to adjust the sedation level throughout the procedure. IV sedation may be particularly beneficial for lengthy or complex dental treatments.
What Is Nitrous Oxide?
Nitrous oxide, commonly called “laughing gas,” is a mild sedative designed to be inhaled through a mask placed over your nose. This method does not intend to induce sleep and can keep you conscious and aware during treatment. It may cause relaxation and euphoria, which can help patients feel at ease as our dentist conducts the procedure. The effects of this sedation may also wear off quickly after the mask is removed.
What Are The Benefits Of Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation in Vancouver, BC, can provide a myriad of benefits for patients, including making “visiting the dentist” less stressful and more pleasant. Reducing worry associated with dental treatments is always the focus of our Wye Dental team. In doing so, our dentist may be able to complete multiple or more complex procedures in a single visit, with the possibility of patients not even recalling memories of the treatments.
What Patients Should Consider Sedation?
Sedation may be advantageous for patients with sensitive teeth, dental anxiety, low pain thresholds, overactive gag reflexes, specific medical conditions, special needs, or trouble staying motionless for extended periods.
