It is extremely important to us that you feel comfortable and relaxed during treatment. Everybody who visits us is treated with compassion and  gentle care. To enhance your comfort throughout your treatment experience, we offer various types of sedation for our patients, especially for ones having dental phobias and anxieties. Thus, even the most anxious patients will  experience a feeling of peaceful, stress and pain free tranquility while receiving dental treatment.

 

At Spring Premier Dental, our sedation dentistry options include:

 

• Nitrous Oxide Sedation(laughing gas)

The sedative gas mixture (nitrous and oxygen) is administered with a comfortable mask placed over the nose for inhalation. You will fall into a euphoric state and feel relaxed, leaving you to sit back peacefully while your dental procedure is performed.  After treatment, the patient is given pure oxygen to breathe for about five minutes. All effects are reversed allowing the patient to drive home without an escort and return to your daily activities.

 

• Oral Sedation (pills)

Oral sedation pills are taken an hour before the appointment to put you in a relaxed and anxiety-free condition. The sedative effect may last for several hours. You are released from your treatment minutes after completion. An escort of your choice then drives you home from our office.

 

• IV Moderate Sedation(in the vein)

With IV sedation, the sedative is administered intravenously and it goes to work within a few minutes. Since  the depth and lasting time can be fully controlled as needed in a real time manner, IV sedation is considered as one of the safest methods. IV sedation is used most often for complex dental procedures and/or patients with complex medical issues. With an optimal level of sedation, you'll wake up refreshed, with little or no memory of what was accomplished. An escort is needed for driving you back after sedation.
