Yes, we offer sedation dentistry to help patients who feel nervous or for other reasons, including:
- Dental phobia and anxiety
- Multiple treatments during one visit
- Invasive dental treatments
- Easy gag reflex
Our sedation dentist in Lodi or Elk Grove will evaluate you to ensure sedation dentistry is safe. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is usually suitable for patients of all ages.
Relaxing Dental Care: Sedation Dentistry Options
Nitrous Oxide: We administer this safe gas through a nasal mask. You’ll feel relaxed and detached from the dental work, but these effects don’t linger. After your treatment, you can still drive yourself home or return to work.
Oral Conscious Sedation: This sedation option is a mild sedative that allows you to get the care you need without anxiety. You can’t drive or operate machinery on the day of treatment after taking this medication.
IV Dental Sedation: With this method, you may not remember your treatment, but you’ll still respond to the dentist’s instructions while sedated. As with oral conscious sedation, you can’t operate machinery or drive on the day of treatment after the IV.
