Feel at Ease With Sedation Dentistry in Glendale, AZ
If you feel anxious or uneasy about your oral surgery or dental treatment, sedation dentistry may be the ideal solution. At Arizona Center for Oral Surgery, we offer safe and effective sedation options to help you feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable throughout your visit.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to ease anxiety and promote a sense of relaxation during treatment. Whether you have mild nervousness or severe dental phobia, our oral surgeons, Dr. Gary K. Lines and Dr. Donald R. Hoaglin, will help you choose the best sedation method to meet your needs. Options include:
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
This mild sedative is inhaled through a small mask during your procedure. Nitrous oxide works quickly to reduce anxiety and enhance comfort, and its effects wear off just minutes after the gas is stopped, allowing you to resume your day without downtime.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication by mouth before your appointment. By the time your treatment begins, you’ll feel significantly more relaxed. This option is ideal for patients with moderate anxiety and those seeking a more profound sense of calm without the use of IVs.
IV Sedation
With intravenous (IV) sedation, medication is administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid onset and precise control of sedation levels. Although you’ll remain conscious, you may feel so relaxed that you drift off to sleep and may not remember much of the procedure. This form of conscious sedation is particularly effective for patients with high anxiety or those undergoing more complex surgical treatments.
Safe, Monitored, and Customized Care
Your safety is our top priority. Our highly trained team closely monitors each sedation procedure, and we take every precaution to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. Depending on the type of sedation used, you may need a responsible adult to accompany you to and from your appointment.
