Sedation Dentistry
Can You Really Relax in the Dentist’s Chair?
Sedation Dentistry Canley Heights
Sedation provides a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for anxious people who receive dental treatments.
It enables patients who are too afraid to go to the dentist to receive the dental care they need while avoiding dental phobia
Several Levels of Sedation
Minimal sedation – the patient is awake but calm.
Moderate sedation (formerly called “conscious sedation”) – the patient may slur their words when speaking and not remember much of the procedure.
Deep sedation – the patient is on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened.
General anaesthesia – the patient is completely unconscious.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
There are four benefits of sedation. They are:
Overcome fear and anxiety
YourCanley Heights dentist helps patients overcome their dental fear and anxiety every day.
Even if a bad experience has kept you from the dentist for a long time, there is no need to be worried.
You can be reassured that Canley Heights Dental Care offers a comfortable, anxiety-free visit for patients just like you.
Ease of treatment
Whether you suffer from a gag reflex or have sensitive teeth or gums, sedation allows your Canley Heights dentist to perform dental procedures without the stress you may be used to experiencing.
With a comfortable patient, treatment is easier for both the patient and dentist as it allows the patient to relax, enabling our dentist to focus solely on the procedure.
Comfort and rest
Want to feel at home and comfortable with your dentist? It happens every day at Canley Heights Dental Care through the use of sedation.
Not only does it help you feel comfortable, but sedation dentistry also allows you to rest quietly and calmly during your treatment.
Fewer appointments
Sedation allows us to do more treatments in fewer visits.
If ever you need a cavity filled, gum disease treatment, cosmetic procedures, or broken tooth treatment, you’ll be amazed at how much dental treatment can be done while you are relaxed under sedation.
More complex procedures that require multiple visits may be completed in as little as one appointment with the advancements of sedation dentistry.
