Who Can Benefit from Dental Anesthesia?

Our Sedation Dentistry Options

General Anesthesia

We provide general anesthesia for patients requiring complete sedation during more extensive dental procedures. For this service, we bring in a highly trained anesthesiologist who administers and monitors the anesthesia, ensuring you are fully unconscious and comfortable throughout the treatment.

This option is ideal for complex surgeries or for patients with severe dental anxiety. With the anesthesiologist’s expertise, we ensure a safe and controlled environment, allowing you to wake up comfortably after the procedure.

IV Sedation

At The Toothery, we provide IV sedation for patients seeking a deeper level of relaxation during their dental treatments. Administered by a trained anesthesiologist, IV sedation allows for a controlled, comfortable experience while you remain conscious but deeply relaxed.

This option is ideal for those with dental anxiety or undergoing complex procedures. It ensures you remain calm throughout. Our team closely monitors your vital signs during the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort from start to finish.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation dentistry involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, allowing you to feel calm and relaxed throughout the procedure. Oral sedation is a safe and effective way to help patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing more complex treatments. Our team closely monitors you to ensure a smooth and stress-free visit from start to finish.

The Risks of Avoiding Dental Care

Prolonging dental care due to fear or anxiety can lead to severe consequences for your oral and overall health. Untreated dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and infections can worsen over time, leading to tooth loss, pain, and even systemic health issues like heart disease or diabetes.

Routine checkups are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums, but delaying these visits increases the likelihood of needing more complex treatments. Sedation dentistry can make these appointments much easier, allowing you to address your dental concerns before they escalate. Don’t let dental anxiety stand in the way of your well-being; instead, prioritize your health by exploring sedation options with our team!
