Why Choose Roselle Park Dental & Implants for Sedation Dentistry?
- Three Forms of Sedation Available
- Same-Day Emergency Appointments
- Flexible Financing for Stress-Free Dental Care
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is a stronger option that is administered through prescribed medication. Our team will provide instructions on when to take the medication before your appointment; once the effects take hold, patients should enter a deep state of relaxation while remaining aware enough to respond to requests from our dentists and staff members. When choosing oral conscious sedation, patients must make arrangements for an escort to bring them to and from our office, as they will not be capable of driving themselves.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that’s also commonly known as “laughing gas.” While it isn’t guaranteed that you’ll laugh, breathing in the gas does have a soothing effect on patients. The mask will stay comfortably fitted over the nose throughout the procedure, and you should start to feel calmer and more content within minutes of exposure. Better yet, the effects of nitrous oxide also wear off quickly, which means that you’re free to return to work, school, or errands without any extensive downtime.
General Anesthesia (Sleep Dentistry)
In situations that require multiple or complex dental care, our team may suggest general anesthesia. Also known as sleep dentistry, this method is vastly different than nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation, mainly because it will cause you to be fully sedated. Instead of being awakened to respond to dental cues, you will be asleep throughout treatment, allowing our dental team to perform the necessary work to improve your oral health.
