Sedation dentistry is designed to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures. At Gresham Dental Group, we understand that many people experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist. That’s why we offer safe and effective sedation options, including IV conscious sedation, to create a more comfortable experience from start to finish.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
WHAT DOES SEDATION DENTISTRY INCLUDE?
We provide several sedation methods based on your needs, procedure type, and medical history. Options may include oral sedatives, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or IV sedation administered by a trained professional. These methods help ease tension, reduce discomfort, and make time pass quickly while you’re in the chair. You’ll still be responsive but deeply relaxed throughout the procedure.
DO I NEED SEDATION DENTISTRY?
Sedation dentistry may be right for you if you have dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or need extensive dental work. It’s also helpful for patients who have had negative experiences in the past or who delay care due to fear. During your consultation, we’ll talk through your concerns and help you choose the right sedation option for your situation.
Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?
Yes. Your safety is our top priority. We follow strict protocols and monitor you closely throughout the procedure to ensure everything goes smoothly. Our experienced team will explain what to expect before, during, and after your appointment so you feel fully informed and confident in your care.
