Sedation Dentistry

Many people feel anxious before and during dental procedures. It's normal to feel nervous or even fearful when anticipating an appointment. We understand that our patients aren't all excited about dental visits, and we have great news: you have options! You can experience dental treatment comfortably with the available sedation method listed below. Inhalation Sedation - Inhalation Sedation (Laughing Gas) is commonly used to make treatment more comfortable. The sedation is inhaled through a mask and produces a state of relaxation. Local anesthetic will be administered in conjunction with inhalation therapy to eliminate pain. Inhalation therapy is designed to make procedures easier for nervous patients and has been effective for many years. Concerns? Questions? We are happy to provide you with the options that may work best for you! We want you to feel safe and confident through every step of your dental care. Call our office today!

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry:

• Reduced Anxiety and Discomfort: Patients feel relaxed and often have little memory of the procedure, making their dental experience more pleasant. • Efficiency in Treatment: Allows for multiple or complex procedures to be performed in fewer visits, saving time and reducing stress for the patient. • Enhanced Patient Cooperation: Sedation helps patients remain still, aiding in the precision and speed of the treatment. • Safe and monitored sedation options: Administered by trained professionals like Buddy Furqueron, DDS, sedation is safe and monitored throughout the procedure.
