What Is Sedation?

Sedation dentistry with Dr. Nordone and Dr. Oh allows our patients to relax while undergoing restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. Dental sedation enables patients to overcome anxiety from minor discomfort to phobia about even visiting the dentist. Plus, sedation allows you to group various procedures into a single office visit, making it a better use of your time. And in the end, you have little or no recollection of your visit.

If you have an unpleasant memory of visiting the dentist from your childhood, a mishap during a previous restoration, or you may be somewhat embarrassed that you haven’t been keeping up with your regular check-ups. We don’t judge and want to put you at ease.

Experienced and compassionate sedation dentists like Drs. Nordone and Oh understands your concerns and can make your dental visit completely relaxing and fear-free with the use of sedation dentistry options like IV sedation and conscious sedation. Request a sedation consultation today!

Is Sedation Dentistry Right For You?

Patients can confuse sedation with pain relief. Here at Dentistry with a Difference, Our patients don’t feel a thing during any procedures due to our anesthetics. We offer sedation, not to mask the pain, but to help patients deal with strong feelings of fear and anxiety that arise when they visit the dentist. After receiving sedation and completing their treatments, patients often experience a change in the entire way they view dental appointments going forward.

Three Ways to Relax at Dentistry With A Difference

Dr. Nordone and Dr. Oh would like to invite you to visit our office for a full complement of sedation services in one location. At Dentistry With A Difference, we offer IV sedation, oral sedation, or nitrous oxide for nervous patients.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is ideal for those who have severe dental phobia, difficulty remaining still, multiple or surgical treatment needs or behavioral concerns. Administered intravenously, IV sedation’s near-immediate effects leave you conscious but with little-to-no memory of your procedure. IV sedation offers complete relaxation and may make you feel like you slept through your visit.

Oral Sedation

Ideal for moderate dental anxiety, general aversion to the dental office, or a sensitive gag reflex, oral sedation is a prescriptive sedative pill taken before your appointment time. This method of sedation leaves you feeling very relaxed, calm, and even sleepy, but fully alert and able to respond to our instructions.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is ideal for those who experience common dental jitters or minor anxiety. Nitrous oxide is a clear, odorless gas inhaled before and during the procedure. The effects leave you feeling calm and even euphoric. Once the gas is stopped, the effects dissipate quickly and leave you ready to resume normal daily activity.
