Choose the Right Sedation for You
Sedation dentistry is closely regulated by law, and there are three types a dentist can administer based on your needs and anxiety level. Mild sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the lightest form of sedation dentistry and is administered orally for patients with mild anxiety, longer procedures, or more complex situations like oral surgery or tooth extractions. You remain awake or very sleepy throughout the entire procedure and can breathe on your own, but you will feel a great sense of relaxation.
Our Custom Sedation Options
There is no need to be nervous about having sedation dentistry at our practice. We are licensed by the American Dental Association, and you will find that we are both respectful and professional at all times. We provide nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, for easing mild to moderate anxiety. You will breathe this sedation in through a mask worn over your nose. Recovery is quick so you can resume your normal activities immediately.
We also offer oral sedation, an easy solution that does not require needles. You will be given a prescription pill, which taken about an hour before your appointment, will have you fully relaxed by the time you arrive at our office. You will remain relaxed throughout your visit. Dr. Porter has completed advanced training in oral sedation and is board-certified in its safe and effective administration. Contact us to determine which sedation option is right for you based on your anxiety level and the type of treatment you need.
