Gwinnett Dental Implant and Periodontal Center offers various sedation dentistry options to suit your individual needs. Our team can advise you on the best dental anesthesia for your treatment to ensure your comfort.
Oral conscious sedation is a prescribed medication taken before your dental appointment to help you relax. You will experience a state of deep relaxation, making you feel drowsy but still awake. Oral sedation is ideal for patients with moderate anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures. We advise having someone drive you home after your appointment since sedative effects can last a few hours.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Nitrous oxide, known as “laughing gas,” is a mild form of sedation dentistry that helps you relax during your visit. It is administered through a mask and induces a feeling of calmness while keeping you conscious. This option of dental anesthesia is best for patients with mild anxiety or those undergoing less invasive procedures. The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your day immediately after your appointment.
Nitrous Oxide
IV sedation provides a deeper level of sedation by administering the medication directly into your bloodstream. Our on-site anesthesiologist will monitor your sedation level to ensure optimal comfort. IV sedation is perfect for patients with severe anxiety, those undergoing complex treatments like dental implants, or individuals who have had negative dental experiences. You will remain conscious but deeply relaxed, and we recommend patients bring someone to help them get home after their procedure.
IV Sedation
Untreated dental issues can lead to significant problems, including tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Prolonging checkups and necessary procedures due to fear and anxiety can also impact overall health, potentially increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. Sedation dentistry can help you overcome these struggles, ensuring you receive the care you need in a comfortable, stress-free environment.
