Our team wants to help you obtain a full and healthy smile, whether that means placing dental implants or even conducting detailed jaw surgery. We want to ensure your treatment experience is a relaxing and comfortable one, which is why we offer dental sedation. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons talk about our dental sedation options.
Careful Planning
First, we will talk to you about the concerns you are seeing us about, including symptoms, oral hygiene habits, and other factors. We then examine your smile with digital x-rays and CBCT images, so we can gain a full panoramic image of your smile and plan treatment with precision. Doing so allows us to address your oral health issue, and do so in a way that ensures comfort and better smile esthetics afterward. We may conduct jaw surgery, wisdom tooth extraction, dental implant placement, facial trauma treatment, grafting, and more. Once we have planned the treatment in detail, our team will next provide calming medications to ensure you are comfortable during the surgery portion.
Dental Anesthesia
Our team can offer a local anesthesia to the area being treated to numb the tissues and ensure you are comfortable. We could also discuss general anesthesia to help you enter a deep state of rest, a sleep-like stage. Our team follows the same strict protocols as hospital operating rooms, and a trained anesthesiologist will be on hand during your procedure. In fact, our doctors also work with the Trauma Team at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
Sedation Dentistry
We also have sedation to help you enter a deep state of calm and relaxation, often with little to no memory of the procedure itself. This is helpful for those with anxiety or special needs too! We have nitrous oxide, a gas administered through a mask over your nose. You breathe this in and instantly enter a deep state of calm. You stay conscious, but have no memory of the procedure. We can adjust levels during treatment, and the effects wear off once the treatment ends.
With oral conscious, we offer sedation in a pill or liquid form prior to the procedure, so you enter a deeper state of calm. With IV, we administer the deepest form available intravenously. With both of these, the grogginess takes time to wear off, so have someone available to bring you home afterward. If you have any questions, contact our team today.
