Sedation dentistry is beneficial to patients who don’t want to feel a thing during a dental or an oral surgery procedure. Whether you wish to take the edge off during a cleaning, or are having wisdom teeth removed, or dental implants placed, The Oyster Bay Family Dentists offer a sedation option that is right for you. Allow us to explain what types of sedation we offer.
- Oral Conscious – With oral conscious sedation, the patient remains awake but is left in a heightened state of mind. For this option, you will need someone to drive you home after your procedure.
- Nitrous Oxide – Nitrous, also known as laughing gas, leaves the patient in a euphoric state feeling completely relaxed. All feelings of fear and anxiety will fade away and you will be able to respond to the doctor if need be. Nitrous wears off once the procedure is complete, allowing you to return to your daily activities.
- Anxiolysis – This light sedative is not as strong as oral sedation but is recommend for those who have mild to moderate anxiety. You will be able to drive yourself home after anxiolysis is administered.
If you have questions or concerns about sedation options, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at the practice, visit www.oysterbaydentists.com for more information.
