Dental anxiety leaves many people struggling with prolonged dental issues, feeling helpless and worried about their oral health. Even if you’re usually comfortable at routine dental visits, a surgical procedure like dental implants may seem stressful. We know how daunting dental implant surgery can seem, and we want you to know that you’re not alone.
At Liberty Dental Implants, we believe that everyone deserves a healthy smile without stress or fear. Safe and effective sedation dentistry is vital to providing the comfortable, gentle care you need. Our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind.
Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is the most common sedation dentistry option. By inhaling gas through a mask over your nose, you’ll feel deeply relaxed while remaining awake and responsive throughout your care.
Nitrous oxide suppresses the gag reflex, helps local dental anesthesia work better, and makes an excellent option for boosting the effects of other types of sedation. Its effects wear off immediately, making it a great choice if you don’t want to be groggy after your procedure.
Oral sedation involves taking a pill before your appointment to help you relax. A carefully calculated combination of medications will induce a “twilight” state of consciousness so you can enjoy deep comfort without falling asleep. However, you may not remember much about the procedure. This is an excellent choice for those with moderate anxiety or who need a bit of help getting through implant surgery.
If you need a more profound level of dental anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation may be right for you. Because we can adjust the level of medication as required, this is a safe and highly effective sedation dentistry option for people with more severe anxiety and those undergoing lengthy procedures. Like oral sedation, IV sedation won’t put you completely under, although most people end up napping through their procedure with it.
For patients with extreme dental fear or those needing extensive work, general anesthesia may be the best option for you. You’ll be completely asleep during the procedure, ensuring you feel no discomfort. This is a specialty sedation dentistry option many implant dentists can’t offer. We have advanced training and specialized equipment to provide safe and effective general anesthesia.
If dental fear, anxiety, or the complexity of treatments, such as dental implant surgery, have kept you from seeking care, our dedicated team is here to help. Prompt dental care can restore oral health and boost confidence, leading to a pain-free and more satisfying life. Avoiding necessary treatments can have profound health implications, affecting your overall well-being.
Untreated dental issues can result in nutritional deficiencies, digestive complications, and a heightened risk of systemic health problems. Our range of dental anesthesia options ensures minimally invasive and highly effective treatments, empowering you to prioritize your oral health and enhance your quality of life.
