Sedation Dentistry & Oral Sedation
Sedation Dental Care in Binghamton, Vestal, and Johnson City, NY
Suffer from dental anxiety or have a long and complex procedure coming up? IV Sedation Dentistry or Oral Sedation might be right for you. At Dental Solutions of Binghamton, we are here to make your visit as comfortable and worry-free as possible.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is often used for:
• Dental anxiety
• Extensive dental work
• Low pain tolerances
• Sensitive teeth
Also, there are distinct levels of sedation including minimal, moderate, and deep. Sedation dentistry allows patients to undergo dental procedures with little stress and discomfort, making it easier for both the patient and the dentist to complete the necessary treatments.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a real-life chill pill. It is a common method of sedation dentistry that involves the administration of sedative medications by mouth before a dental procedure.
Here are some benefits of oral sedation:
• Easy to administer: You simply take the medication by mouth, convenient for both patients and doctors.
• Custom dose: Based on the patient’s needs, the dentist prescribes the right medication and dosage to achieve the desired level of sedation.
• Conscious sedation: Oral sedation induces conscious sedation, keeping the patient awake but relaxed, enabling communication and cooperation during the procedure.
• Safety: When administered by trained dental professionals, it is safe. Dentists monitor vital signs to ensure patient safety.
IV Sedation
We are proud to offer IV sedation for our patients. When undergoing IV sedation, you’ll enter a state of deep relaxation that will make your dental visit a breeze. While you’ll remain semi-conscious and able to respond to verbal cues, you’ll feel completely calm, comfortable, and stress-free throughout the procedure. One of the main benefits of IV sedation is its quick onset, which provides immediate relief from any anxiety you may be feeling. Since the sedative is administered intravenously, your dentist has full control over the dosage, allowing for a completely personalized and highly comfortable experience.
After your dental work is complete, the effects of the IV sedation will begin to wear off quickly. While you may still feel a bit drowsy and will need someone to drive you home, the recovery process is much faster compared to oral anti-anxiety medications. This allows you to return to your normal routine sooner, having experienced a calm and comfortable dental appointment without the typical anxiety.
