Sedation Dentistry

Here at Unicare Center for Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry we understand that many people feel anxious, distressed or uncomfortable when visiting the dentist. We provide sedation dentistry to help manage anxiety and fear so that you can receive the care you need in comfort. Our sedation options include:

• IV Sedation
• Nitrous Oxide

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of sedative medication to help you feel more relaxed, calm and comfortable. It is designed to manage anxiety, fear and stress so that you can receive the treatments you need with unnecessary discomfort physically, mentally or emotionally. There are a variety of sedation options available, ranging from milder forms of conscious sedation that simply help you feel more relaxed to deeper forms of sedation which cause you to fall asleep. When you visit our office, our dentist will discuss your oral health needs, medical history, treatment options and comfort levels with you to find the right type of dental sedation for your needs.

Sedation dentistry is available for patients of all ages. Depending on the type of sedation you receive, our dentist may provide additional instructions on how you can prepare for your treatment or what you should do after you finish treatment. For example, some forms of sedation will wear off quickly and allow you to drive yourself home, while others may require you to have someone available to drive you to and from your appointment.

When Is Sedation Dentistry Recommended?

Sedation dentistry is typically recommended if:

• You feel anxious or nervous in the dental office
• You have difficulty getting numb
• You have a sensitive gag reflex
• You are unable to tolerate treatment without sedation
