Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer
Nitrous Oxide
This mild sedative is delivered through a nose hood and administered throughout your procedure. It works to:
- Elevate mood
- Relieve anxiety
- Reduce stress
While under Nitrous Oxide, you may experience a light tingling or numbness, which disappears once the gas is no longer administered.
IV Sedation
IV Sedation offers moderate sedation through a small catheter placed in a vein. It allows you to feel as though you’ve slept through the procedure, although you remain semi-conscious. Key details:
- Patients may feel groggy and sleepy afterward.
- You will need to arrange a ride home following your treatment.
- IV Sedation is only offered for the semi-conscious extraction of teeth.
Our goal is to ensure your dental experience is as stress-free and painless as possible. If you’re considering sedation dentistry in Barrie, call us at 705-721-9229 to learn more or book your appointment. Let us help you achieve a healthier smile without fear or discomfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sedation dentistry, and how does it work?
Sedation dentistry uses medications to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures. Depending on the type of sedation, you may remain awake but feel at ease or experience a semi-conscious state where the procedure feels like a dream.
What types of sedation do you offer?
We offer Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) for mild sedation and IV Sedation for moderate sedation. Each option is tailored to suit the procedure and your comfort level.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained professionals. Our team monitors you closely throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.
Will I be awake during sedation dentistry?
With Nitrous Oxide, you remain awake and responsive but feel relaxed. IV Sedation creates a semi-conscious state where you may feel like you slept through the procedure, but you are still semi-aware.
Do I need someone to accompany me after IV sedation?
Yes, if you opt for IV Sedation, you’ll need to arrange a ride home as the effects can make you groggy and impair your ability to drive or perform certain tasks.
Who can benefit from sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for individuals with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures. It’s also a great option for patients who simply want a more relaxed dental experience.
