Experience Dentistry Free from Stress and Anxiety

Anesthetic and sedation options are available to ensure you remain pain-free and comfortable during your dental procedures. Various methods can be combined to provide comprehensive coverage, tailored to your personalized treatment plan, individual needs, and the expert advice of your dentist or specialist.

Types of Sedation

There are three main categories of sedation available:

Local Freezing

This is the most common and reliable method. We carefully numb the specific area of your mouth where the work will be done by injecting a local anesthetic. While you may feel some pressure, you will not experience pain during the procedure.

Sedation

Sedation options include prescription medications, laughing gas, or intravenous administration. With light to moderate sedation, you remain fully conscious yet completely relaxed. This method is often used in conjunction with local anesthesia to enhance your comfort.

Sleep Dentistry

Using general anesthesia or deep sedation, this option allows you to be nearly or completely unconscious during the procedure. Many patients find they don’t remember the treatment at all. After waking up, you will remain relaxed and may feel drowsy, so it’s important to have someone accompany you home.

The benefits of dental sedation

Sedation and sleep dentistry are useful options that help us serve patients from all walks of life with many different challenges to overcome. Some of the benefits of sedation dentistry are as follows:

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

Sometimes the fear and worry can feel worse than the treatment itself. Dental anxiety shouldn’t stand between you and the dental treatment you need. If you have mild or extreme dental anxiety or fear is keeping you from seeking dental treatment, please speak up! We can help.

Make Time Fly By

For long procedures that leave you sitting in the chair with your mouth wide open for a long time, sedation will keep you relaxed and comfortable. Your procedure will be over before you know it. If you require IV sedation, it will feel like an instant has passed.

Tailored for Your Personal Needs

Do you have a sensitive gag reflex? Chronic restlessness or restless leg syndrome? Does local freezing just not work for you? Sedation is really helpful in many different cases, ensuring that treatment is available to everyone.

The Benefits of Dental Sedation

Sedation and sleep dentistry are invaluable options that enable us to accommodate patients from all walks of life, addressing a variety of challenges they may face during dental treatments. Here are some key benefits of sedation dentistry:

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

For many individuals, the fear and worry associated with dental visits can be more daunting than the treatments themselves. Dental anxiety should never prevent you from receiving the care you need. Whether your anxiety is mild or severe, sedation can help alleviate your fears, allowing you to undergo dental procedures with ease and confidence. If fear is keeping you from seeking dental treatment, please let us know—we are here to help.

Make Time Fly By

Long dental procedures can feel tedious and uncomfortable, especially when you’re required to sit with your mouth open for extended periods. Sedation keeps you relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure, making the time pass quickly and effortlessly. With IV sedation, the experience can feel almost instantaneous, allowing you to complete necessary treatments without the stress of time dragging on.

Tailored for Your Personal Needs

Every patient has unique needs and concerns when it comes to dental care. Whether you have a sensitive gag reflex, experience chronic restlessness, or find that local anesthesia isn’t effective for you, sedation can be customized to address your specific requirements. This flexibility ensures that dental treatments are accessible and manageable for everyone, providing a comfortable and personalized experience that meets your individual needs.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, dental sedation is safe. We thoroughly review each patient’s medical history to determine if sedation dentistry is appropriate for you. Our experienced team ensures that all necessary precautions are taken to provide a secure and comfortable experience during your dental procedures.

Sedation quickly makes you feel drowsy and relaxed. Some patients may experience a mild tingling sensation. Additionally, you might have slight amnesia afterward, meaning you may not remember much of the procedure.

Most sedation dentistry options do not require you to be fully asleep. Instead, sedation helps you feel extremely relaxed while remaining awake. Many patients find that they don’t remember the procedure once it’s over, providing a calm and stress-free experience.

Yes, when sedation is used, we strongly recommend having a friend or family member drive you home and stay with you. It’s important to allow the sedation to wear off completely and give your body time to recover before resuming your regular activities.

After sedation, we advise taking the day off to recover. Typically, sedation effects wear off within 2 to 8 hours, depending on the type of sedation administered. It’s best to set aside 24 hours before returning to your normal routine to ensure you are fully alert and rested.

I’ve never been excited to go to the dentist. I have the worst teeth … never a visit without a cavity - ever since I was a kid. But I HAD to have a tooth removed. This was my first visit to Drayton Dental and it was amazing. The staff was friendly, empathetic and supportive. It was the first time in my life that a dental visit didn’t make me feel embarrassed of my lousy teeth. I’m grateful for the folks at Drayton Dental 😊

I have recently been visiting Dr Mang and the wonderful Team at Drayton Dental and have nothing but good to say about everyone in this office! They are all incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and truly committed to patient care. Dr Mang is not only an excellent practitioner but also someone who takes the time to explain procedures and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Whether it is a routine cleaning or a more complex treatment, you can trust that you are in skilled hands. The office itself is modern, clean, and well equipped, creating a relaxing atmosphere that eases any dental anxiety. Scheduling was hassle free, and they are as accommodating as they can be with appointments. If you are looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about their patients and an office where professionalism meets kindness, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Mang and the Team at Drayton Dental.
