Sedation Dentistry in Richmond

Sedation Dentistry Services Near You

Sedation dentistry allows us to help apprehensive patients get the dentistry they need pain-free. If you have avoided dental treatment for many years because of dental anxiety, but want to have a healthy smile again, sedation dentistry may be for you.

Sedation Dentistry is done by taking an oral or I.V. (intravenous) sedative. Sedation dentistry is very safe, you will be awake but very relaxed. While sedated, patients are able to respond to the dentist but they are so relaxed that they do not experience any pain, discomfort or anxiety.

Oral Sedation

Conscious oral sedation safely puts you into a tranquil state of mind! It is very easy and one of the safest methods of sedation dentistry. A medication is prescribed by your dentist, to ensure you are completely comfortable and totally relaxed during your visit.

Usually clients have little or no memory of their dental visit! Oral sedation is the best option for all types of dental treatment. Imagine getting your cleaning, fillings, and crowns all in one visit in a safe comfortable, relaxing environment. And you will feel fully recovered the next day.

Sedation dentistry allows us to help apprehensive patients get the dentistry they need without feeling the anxiety they normally would.

IV Sedation Dentistry

Intravenous (IV) sedation dentistry is used primarily for moderate to severe dental surgical procedures (ie wisdom teeth extraction) and for patients that want to be completely asleep during their dental treatment. The sedation drugs are administered intravenously to the patient. IV sedation dentistry allows you to experience a deeper level of sedation so you do not remember any parts of the procedure. We have experienced dentists that offer IV sedation and will help you have a good experience during more complex dental procedures.

Specific protocols and medical equipment are used continuously to monitor the patient’s blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and respiratory rates to ensure that the patient is completely comfortable and reacting normally throughout the procedure.
