Sedation Dentistry Tailored to Your Needs

Sedation dentistry involves a number of different options. These include traditional anesthetics, nitrous oxide, and oral anti-anxiety medications. Below, we’ll discuss these options in more detail.

Pain Relief

While sedation helps manage your anxiety, it does not help manage pain. For pain, Peak Family Dental Care uses local anesthetics to ensure that the area that we’re working on is numbed during the procedure.

After Your Treatment

At Peak Family Dental Care, safety comes first. If you choose to get oral or IV sedation, it will be important to have a friend or family member drive you home. You will not be able to do so yourself. Be prepared to rest for the remainder of the day. You don’t want to be operating heavy machinery or any type of vehicle while the sedatives are wearing off.

Who Should Get Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is ideal for a number of patients, including:
  • Those who are terrified of dentists
  • Individuals with a strong gag reflex
  • Those undergoing oral surgery
  • Children
  • Patients who are terrified of needles
  • Patients who have trouble sitting for extended periods of time
Sedatives allow patients to sit comfortably during lengthy or complex procedures. They make it easier for both you and your dentist to finish the procedure efficiently. They are particularly ideal for those who are undergoing any form of oral surgery. Our dentists will work with you to ensure you have the most comfortable experience possible while we are working on your teeth.

Further Improvements for Your Comfort

Pain-Free Dentistry? Does that sound impossible? It isn’t. Using our Solea Laser, we can provide virtually pain-free care to our patients during fillings and other procedures. The laser replaces the dental drill which is usually frightening. It doesn’t feel very good to have someone drilling in your mouth. The Solea laser provides a much more gentle alternative to traditional dental drills. Laser treatment can reduce your healing time, eliminate the need for anesthesia, and reduce the overall amount of time the procedure takes. Talk to us about this option.
