Sedation Dentistry Norcross, GA
Sedation dentistry offers a comforting solution for patients who experience anxiety or nervousness about their dental visits. It involves the use of sedative medications to help you feel calm and at ease throughout your treatment. Our goal here at Vincent Dental is to make every visit as comfortable as possible, so you can receive the care you need without stress or fear. Several sedation options are available, depending on your preferences and the complexity of your procedure.
One of the most commonly used options is nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask during your treatment, helping you feel more relaxed within minutes. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your day without lingering drowsiness.
Oral sedation is another option, involving a prescribed pill that you take before your appointment. By the time you arrive, you will feel calm and ready for treatment. This option is ideal for patients with mild to moderate anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures. Because the medication can affect your coordination, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
IV sedation is a more advanced option, administered directly into your bloodstream. It allows our team to adjust the sedation level throughout your procedure, ensuring your comfort at all times. While you remain conscious with IV sedation, you may feel so relaxed that you drift off to sleep and have little to no memory of the experience afterward.
