We offer the following sedation dentistry services at our dental office in Lawrenceville, GA:
Laughing Gas
Laughing gas is a popular sedation option administered through a comfortable mask that fits over your nose. With laughing gas sedation, you'll feel calm and relaxed but remain alert and able to communicate with your dentist. Laughing gas is safe and suitable for a wide range of dental procedures, including preventive teeth cleanings.
The effects of laughing gas wear off within minutes of removing the breathing mask, so you can return to your schedule right away!
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is often provided to adult patients who experience moderate dental anxiety or who are scheduled for a more extensive procedure. Oral conscious sedation is taken as a pill before your procedure. Patients typically feel drowsy while remaining calm and relaxed throughout their visit. The effects of oral conscious sedation wear off few hours for the effects to wear off, and it's necessary to have a driver take you home after your procedure.
IV Sedation
IV sedation for dental procedures is a great option for those with severe dental anxiety or phobias, a strong gag reflex, as well as people who are undergoing a more extensive dental procedure or oral surgery. IV sedation is administered intravenously and typically causes you to fall asleep for the duration of your appointment. Most patients who select IV sedation will feel groggy, and have no memory of their dental procedure. Patients will need to arrange transportation home after their visit.
Your Sedation Dentistry Consultation
While many of our patients at Dental Images of Gwinnett enjoy the benefits of sedation dentistry, and our team understands it's important to know what to expect from your sedation experience. At your consultation, our friendly team will discuss any side effects associated with each sedation option and how to navigate your recovery period, if needed.
