Yes, Whitehouse Family Dental understands that dental anxiety is real and can prevent patients from receiving the care they need. We offer several sedation options to help nervous patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their appointments.
Our Sedation Options
We provide nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to accommodate different comfort levels.
- Nitrous oxide offers mild relaxation while allowing you to remain fully conscious and responsive.
- For patients who need more profound relaxation, oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to achieve a more profound calming effect.
Procedures Where Sedation Is Helpful
You know your comfort level better than anyone, and sedation can help you relax with any procedure. Many patients find sedation especially beneficial for:
- Composite fillings, especially multiple restorations in one visit
- Root canal therapy
- Dental implant placement procedures
- Crown and bridge preparations
- Extensive cosmetic dentistry work
- Periodontal treatments
- Wisdom tooth extractions
- Any procedure for patients with severe dental phobia
Safe Sedation Sedation Tailored to Your Needs
All sedation is carefully monitored throughout your procedure to ensure your safety and comfort. We'll discuss your medical history, current medications, and anxiety level to determine the most appropriate sedation option for your specific needs.
