Sedation dentistry refers to the practice of using medicine to help reduce any pain or discomfort during dental treatment. By using sedation correctly, we can help ensure that the patient is kept as comfortable and relaxed as possible. We always carefully consider the needs of the patient and take great caution when using sedation. Our practice offers support for local anesthesia, oral sedation, IV sedation and laughing gas.
When is Sedation Dentistry Used?
Sedation dentistry is used during any treatment that tends to feature high levels of pain and discomfort. By using methods of sedation, we can work to alleviate discomfort during dental treatment. Sedation dentistry may also be used when a patient is unusually nervous, anxious or apprehensive about receiving dental treatment.
What is Local Anesthesia?
Local anesthesia refers to numbing medicine that prevents pain during dental treatment. This medicine is applied directly to the area of treatment immediately prior to the procedure. The treated area will become numb so that dental work can be completed more easily. The medicine should wear off shortly after treatment is completed. For longer procedures, we may provide the local anesthetic multiple times to ensure that the treated area stays numb.
What is Oral Sedation?
Oral sedation refers to sedative medicine that is provided through a pill that is swallowed shortly prior to treatment. Oral sedation requires a longer time to take effect than other methods of sedation. Once the medicine has taken action, the patient should feel sufficiently comfortable, calm and relaxed. Oral Sedation is a type of dental sedation where a patient takes a prescribed pill before the procedure to help them feel calm, relaxed, and less anxious during treatment. Patients remain awake and able to respond, but feel more comfortable throughout the visit.
What is IV Sedation?
IV sedation refers to sedative medicine that is provided intravenously immediately prior to dental treatment. The medicine will take effect very quickly, and the patient will experience a powerful sensation of comfort and relaxation. Any pain or discomfort that they experience during treatment will be greatly reduced, and the patient will be much more comfortable with having dental work completed. The medicine used during IV sedation is short-acting, and it should wear off rather quickly. Because of its strength, IV sedation is only used during oral surgeries.
What is Laughing Gas?
Laughing gas refers to sedative medicine that is administered through inhaled vapors that taken in immediately prior to treatment. The patient will inhale the medicine through a mask that covers their nose. The medicine will take effect very quickly, and the patient should experience sensations of general comfort and giddiness. Laughing gas wears off very quickly, and the patient should return to normal shortly after the procedure is finished.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was one of the best medical locations I've ever been to (in any field). My first-time visit started with, Cynthia, the front-desk receptionist. She was warm, efficient, and greeted me by name before I even told her who I was. The lobby smelled divine. I waited a short time before Daisy, one of the dental assistants, came to get me for x-rays. The process was quick and easy. The first impression was impressive. I did wait a while before the dentist, Dr. Raina, came in. However, his time in the room was worth the wait. He had incredible bedside manner and was exuding kind energy. He explained how he prioritizes ensuring his patients have confidence in all treatments. In the assurance was an explanation of how he wanted to earn my trust and how he prides himself on spending more time than normal with each patient. I appreciated his commitment to personalized patient care. After the exam, he took the customer service a step further by showing me what he saw with a camera on my teeth. I was geeking out because I love going to the dentist, but I also appreciated the transparency and him bringing me into the process as a patient. Lindsey, my dental hygienist, came in after him for one of the most thorough cleanings I've ever had. After flossing, she went back to a tooth that she thought she missed something on because it bothered her. I was so impressed with her talents and her commitment to high quality care. She was warm, thorough, and patient. I wrapped up my visit with checking out with Jaynise at the front desk. She was personal and helpful with the exit process. Her and Cynthia worked as a rockstar team at the front. The overall ambiance of the office is extremely calm and I highly recommend this office if you have dental anxiety (I don't struggle with it and I still loved the calming atmosphere). There is soft piano music playing and the lights are turned off for the exam. I appreciated that practice because bright, iridescent lights are not pleasant when laying on a dental chair. Every room has an oils diffuser with a light peppermint scent permeating throughout the office. These little touches created the best experience that I will definitely come back for. This office and staff wrote the playbook on dental customer service and patient experiences. My whole experience today was such a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for a the best of the best, look no further than Dr. Raina and his staff.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
