Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry Services at Progressive Dental Group

Do you feel nervous or anxious about visiting the dentist?

You’re not alone! Many people experience dental anxiety or fear, which can make getting the care you need challenging. At Progressive Dental Group, we offer sedation dentistry to help you feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed during your visit.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients stay relaxed during dental procedures. It’s a safe and effective way to manage anxiety, reduce discomfort, and make dental treatments a stress-free experience.

Sedation dentistry is suitable for patients of all ages and can be tailored to your specific needs.

Here are the common types of sedation we provide:

• Inhaled Sedation: We will administer this sweet-smelling gas through a comfortable mask. In moments, you will begin to feel relaxed from head to toe as the sedative takes effect. Your anxiety will vanish, and you’ll be able to lie back comfortably in our dental chair.
• Oral Conscious Sedation: Your dentist will prescribe a small pill that you will take as directed before your exam or procedure. It will give you a feeling of complete relaxation, and your cares will drift away. You should remain awake; however, some patients do become so relaxed that they doze off.
• IV Sedation: This deep level of sedation takes effect quickly. It will put you in a sleeplike state in which you won’t experience any of the sights, sounds, or smells of your procedure. A trusted friend or family member will need to drive you home afterward, as you will remain groggy for a while.

With sedation dentistry, you can enjoy a comfortable and positive dental experience, no matter the procedure.

Why Is Sedation Dentistry Important?

Sedation dentistry is essential for several reasons, especially for patients who struggle with anxiety or have special needs. Here’s why it’s so important:

• Reduces Anxiety: Sedation helps calm nerves, making it easier for patients with dental fears to receive necessary care.
• Minimizes Discomfort: For patients with low pain tolerance, sensitive teeth, or a strong gag reflex, sedation ensures a more comfortable experience.
• Allows for Complex Procedures: Sedation makes it possible to complete multiple treatments or lengthy procedures in one visit.
• Supports Patients with Special Needs: Sedation dentistry is ideal for individuals with physical or cognitive conditions that make traditional dental care challenging.
• Encourages Regular Dental Visits: By eliminating fear and discomfort, sedation dentistry helps patients maintain their oral health through consistent dental care.

Sedation dentistry ensures you get the care you need without stress or worry, improving your oral health and overall well-being.
