The Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

The benefits of sedation dentistry can be substantial. One of the most obvious benefits to sedation dentistry is the extreme reduction of stress or anxiety experienced during your dental procedure.

Sedation dentistry is beneficial because it will help reduce anxiety. Many patients put off scheduling dental appointments because the thought of having a dental procedure, even an exam, is anxiety provoking. Sedation dentistry helps alleviate these concerns.

Sedation dentistry will also remove or significantly reduce your tooth and gum sensitivity, which in turn will reduce your gag reflex.

Finally, sedation dentistry allows Vita Dental to work quicker, more efficiently and effectively, which means your procedure will be completed quicker and your dental appointment will be finished.

Procedures Where Sedation is Suggested

Certain dental procedures, such as surgical tooth extractions, root canal treatment, periodontal surgery, and implant placement are good opportunities for sedation dentistry. Along with these common procedures, the use of sedation for other treatment is oftentimes decided at the discretion of Vita Dental and you. We may decide to provide sedation for procedures that may be more intensive, or we may decide to provide sedation if you are extremely anxious.

The Different Levels of Sedation

Currently the sedation levels available here are: local anesthesia, nitrous oxide and oral sedation.  The best option is usually paired up with the type of procedure being performed, but in general, you will be given several choices to help you feel comfortable and less anxious during your appointment.

  • Mild Sedation: If our goal is simply to relieve anxiety, then this is the preferred choice.  Mild sedation usually lessens your anxiety level but can also decrease the level of discomfort experienced.  In some cases, it can even eliminate the pain all together.
  • Medium Sedation: Medium sedation will be the better option if your procedure is more intense or invasive.  During medium sedation, you will be in a much deeper state of relaxation. It is not uncommon that amnesia can be experienced from this level.  Because of this, you will need someone to drive you home following your procedure.

The Types of Dental Sedation Available

The sedation options Vita Dental currently offers are:
  • Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous oxide is our mildest sedation option.  It is also the most common. The process for administering Nitrous Oxide involves the use of a mouthpiece.  As we apply the Nitrous Oxide, you enter a calming and relaxed state. This process will also reduce both the anxiety and discomfort that is often associated with a dental procedure of this nature.
  • Oral Sedation: A slightly more intense form of sedation is Oral Sedation.  This involves the application of an anxiety medication to induce a deeper state of calm for you.  This effect could last past your procedure. As a result, you will not be allowed to drive immediately following the procedure.
