Who is a Candidate for Sedation?
Almost anyone can opt for sedation during their dental procedure. Whether you have an anxious child, need wisdom teeth removed, or are undergoing a smile makeover, sedation dentistry helps you relax and catch up on necessary treatments.
Types of Sedation We Offer
Our dentists in Fort Lauderdale, FL, are certified to administer sedation dentistry. We provide three different sedation options to cater to your treatment needs:
Sleep Dentistry: IV Sedation
IV Sedation provides the deepest level of sedation available in private dental offices and is administered only by certified sedation dentists. This comfortable option helps patients overcome fears or discomfort associated with dental care. Our dentists recommend IV sedation for patients with moderate to severe anxiety, those needing wisdom teeth removal, those requiring complex treatments like dental implants, or those who prefer to complete all their care in one visit.
Conscious Sedation: Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a simple way to experience a relaxing dental appointment. This method involves taking a prescription-strength sedative by mouth before the procedure, and it is safe for all ages, including children. Oral sedation provides deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide, making patients feel like they are napping or daydreaming throughout their visit. Our sedation dentists in Fort Lauderdale, FL, can still ask you simple questions, but you likely will only remember a little of the appointment.
Conscious Sedation: Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a gentle and safe option for mild sedation during dental procedures. It can be used even for routine appointments like cleanings and fillings or extended visits such as root canals. Nitrous oxide is a mix of pure oxygen and nitrous gases inhaled through a soft nosepiece. Within minutes, you will feel relaxed and warm from head to toe. This mild sedative is suitable for adults and children and wears off quickly, allowing you to return to your regular schedule.
