Sedation Dentistry

Fewer than 50 percent of all people in the United States see a dentist regularly. Putting off dental care only makes the situation worse – and more expensive to fix. While some people are just too busy for multiple dental appointments, most people who avoid the dentist do so out of fear. But now a revolutionary new option is available to help fearful patients overcome their anxiety – sleep dentistry.

Conscious sedation dentistry allows Dr. Brown to perform the work you need while you relax. He can accomplish in one visit what might have otherwise taken several appointments. Gum treatments, implants, smile restorations, and more can be accomplished while you relax comfortably.

Dental Sedation techniques include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and intravenous sedation. Many patients prefer nitrous oxide, which is a gas that is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small nose piece during a planned procedure. With oral conscious sedation, the patient takes a small pill before an appointment, which produces a delightful feeling of relaxation and NO memory of the procedure. For patients with special needs or those requiring lengthy visits, we have a physician M.D. anesthesiologist on staff, providing intravenous sedation. Intravenous sedation is anesthesia administered through a vein during your visit to ensure your comfort and maximum relaxation.
