If you feel anxious about dental visits or have difficulty relaxing during treatments, sedation dentistry could be the solution you need to enjoy a stress-free experience. Dental anxiety, past negative experiences or even challenges such as a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty getting numb are common reasons patients turn to sedation options. Our experienced dentist and team prioritize your comfort and provide customized care to meet your unique needs.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses specially tailored medications to help you feel calm and comfortable throughout your dental visit. Depending on your needs, sedation can range from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, which allows you to sleep through your procedure. Options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedatives ensure we can provide the right level of comfort for every patient.
Before your appointment, Dr. Brandon Villarreal will meet with you to review your oral health, medical history and treatment plan. During this consultation, we will determine which sedation method is best suited for you. Our goal is to ensure that you feel fully informed and confident in your care plan.
Types of sedation available at V Dental include:
Regardless of the type of sedation you choose, our team closely monitors you throughout your visit to ensure your safety and well-being. From the moment you arrive to the time your treatment is complete, you will be cared for in a secure and supportive environment. We also provide detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions, including recommendations like arranging for a driver if necessary.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps more than just anxious patients. It allows for longer or more complex procedures to be completed in fewer visits, minimizes discomfort for patients with heightened sensitivity and promotes a more positive dental experience. With sedation, maintaining your oral health becomes more manageable and less stressful.
