Dental Care With Intravenous Anesthesia
Our goal is to provide dental care without fear, pain, or anxiety for our patients. We use a wide range of techniques to provide the most comfortable dental care possible. Many patients have found that dental care with intravenous or general anesthesia may be the most comfortable and relaxing solution to their dental problem.
What Kind of Dental Services are Available Under Intravenous Sedation?
All phases of quality dental care can be performed under intravenous sedation. We generally stress saving natural teeth. Cosmetic dental care is emphasized as well. Patients who feel good about their smiles feel good about themselves. We can use sedation techniques for any level of dental treatment from simple hygiene treatment to more advanced surgical procedures.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous Oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a pain relieving and sedating gas that is combined with oxygen to make patients more comfortable during dental care. A light tingling feeling is often experienced by patients as well as an altered sense of time. Patients often listen to relaxing music during nitrous oxide sedation. Some patients love the feeling and feel very comfortable, others require something more tranquilizing. In general, patients who have had traumatic dental or life experiences that leave a life long memory, will be more comfortable with something that will relax them more than nitrous oxide alone.
