At 4405 Dental Studio, Dr. Andrew Edmonds and his team of professionals understand that many men and women have dental anxiety. Dental anxiety is commonly due to fear of pain and discomfort, or past negative experiences at dental practices. Some patients don’t like having someone in their personal space or are uncomfortable for long periods of time in the dental chair for extended procedures. Regardless of the reason, our team can help with sedation for stress-free dental care in Georgetown, TX.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Dr. Andrew Edmonds describes sedation dentistry as a solution for anxious patients who visit the dental office for routine or extensive procedures. Sedation allows a patient to be relaxed and calm during their appointment to allow the dentist to complete a procedure with minimal delays.
What Types Of Sedation Are Available?
The team of 4405 Dental Studio is pleased to provide a range of different sedation dentistry options for patients to choose from. The one right for one patient may not be best for another, so speaking with our dental team about the most appropriate sedation method for your level of anxiety is the first step. Methods include:
- Inhalation sedation – mild to moderate anxiety can be addressed with nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas.” Patients inhale nitrous oxide gas through the nose for almost immediate feelings of relaxation.
- Oral conscious sedation – moderate to severe dental anxieties can be managed with oral conscious sedation. Patients are given a prescribed medication prior to their dental visit to take approximately one hour before they arrive. Patients are relaxed from start to finish and can return home to rest afterward.
- IV sedation – using an IV, sedation medication can be administered directly into the bloodstream for complete relaxation. This method is most used for patients with severe anxieties or those who are undergoing invasive procedures such as the placement of dental implants.
