Ensuring Comfort and Calm During Dental Procedures
At the Djawdan Center for Implant and Restorative Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort and peace of mind during all dental procedures. Understanding that dental visits can cause anxiety for many, we offer a range of sedation options tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring a stress-free and painless experience.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for those who experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist, have a low pain threshold, require extensive dental work, or have a hard time sitting still in the dentist’s chair.
Types of Sedation Offered at Our Center:
• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. It helps patients relax and wears off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing patients to drive themselves home after the procedure.
• Oral Sedation: Depending on the total dose given, oral sedation can range from minimal to moderate. For minimal sedation, you take a pill about an hour before the procedure. The pill makes you drowsy, although you’ll still be awake.
• IV Sedation: This type of sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation and is administered intravenously, allowing the dentist to adjust the sedation level easily.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry:
• Anxiety Reduction: Anxiety Reduction: Sedation dentistry helps to ease anxiety, allowing patients to relax during their treatment.
• Pain Relief: Sedation often includes an analgesic effect, helping manage pain and discomfort during the procedure.
• Increased Cooperation: Patients who are nervous or restless can sit still, making it easier to perform treatments quickly and safely.
• Memory Loss: Some forms of sedation can induce partial or full memory loss for the duration of the procedure, helping patients who have severe dental anxiety.
Our Commitment to Safety:
• Personalized Sedation Plans: We carefully assess each patient’s medical history, current health, and anxiety levels to choose the safest, most effective sedation option.
• Experienced Staff: Our dental team is highly trained in sedation dentistry, including emergency preparedness and patient monitoring.
• Increased Cooperation: Patients who are nervous or restless can sit still, making it easier to perform treatments quickly and safely.
• State-of-the-Art Monitoring Equipment: We use advanced technology to monitor patient’s vital signs throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety.
