At the Center for Implant Dentistry, we understand that many
patients young and old may have dental anxiety. Some patients have anxiety
because of a past negative experience, while others are unsure of the reason
for their fears. We believe patients should always have a positive experience
when they visit our practice, which is why we offer sedation, including oral
conscious sedation and IV sedation.
Oral conscious sedation can help put patients at ease for
their appointment. It is taken approximately one hour before their visit and
can greatly improve their experience. Patients arrange transportation to and
from the dental office. They arrive coherent and can answer questions and
follow directions. Once their treatment is done, they are taken home to rest.
Most patients wake up without any recollection of the treatment but are excited
to see their smile improved!
Another option for our patients to consider is IV sedation.
This is a stronger sedation that is administered through a needle. Patients
often fall asleep with this type of sedation. It is best for patients with
severe anxieties. We have a professional monitor patients during the process to
ensure safety.
Oral conscious sedation and IV sedation are wonderful
additions to our practice. We are able to complete many treatments with the
assistance of these sedatives and allow our patients to continue to have a
positive experience during every dental visit. Some of our patients become so
comfortable in our practice that they no longer need sedation to get them into
the dental chair. We strive to provide this kind of comforting atmosphere to
all of our patients.
If you reside in the Pleasanton area and are ready to visit
Drs. Sambhav Jain, Arpana Gupta, and Shivani Gupta for treatment with sedation
dentistry, book an appointment at the Center for Implant Dentistry. We can
discuss the possibilities for sedation to make treatments easier for patients
of all ages.
