Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is ideal for our patients who experience mild to moderate dental anxiety. The effects take less than a minute to feel, and the sedation is comfortably breathed in through a small mask that our team will secure over your nose. A euphoric wave will wash over you, helping you relax while you’re in the treatment chair. After the mask is removed, you’ll be back to your normal self within minutes, allowing you to return to work and carry on with the rest of your day.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is a stronger method of dental sedation than nitrous oxide, and it typically comes in the form of a single pill, like Valium or Halcion. About an hour before your appointment, you’ll take the pill our team prescribes to you and have a trusted friend or family member bring you to our office. You should already be relaxed by the time you arrive, allowing you to feel more at ease during your appointment. Some patients report that the medication makes them feel sleepy.
IV Sedation
IV sedation is the strongest method of dental sedation in Sycamore that we offer, and that’s because it’s administered directly into the bloodstream. We typically recommend this for oral surgeries like dental implant placement and wisdom tooth removal. In most cases, patients don’t remember their appointments, as a common side-effect of IV sedation is short-term memory loss. This can be great for those with more severe dental phobia.
