Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry Carmi ILThe Complete Range of Sedation Dentistry Options
 We realize that for some people, a dental appointment is a frightening experience. The needles and drills add to the anxiety about anticipated treatment. It is our goal to make you comfortable throughout your dental work, and with conscious sedation you will forget all your fears.

It is very easy to reach this level of sedation. You merely take a pill we have given you one hour before your scheduled appointment. As you begin to relax in the dental chair, you gradually reach a deeper level of sedation. You are still conscious enough to answer any question the dentist asks, but you will not remember any of the procedure. When your work is completed, a friend will drive you home. In about an hour, you are back to normal.

Some people have an even greater fear of being "knocked out." Their fear is about losing control of what's going on. But you are not completely out as for surgery. You are still aware of your environment; you just won't feel any of the work being performed. Conscious sedation relieves patients of any fear, while maintaining perception of what's going on around them.

Other patients may need this type of sedation because their system is highly resistant to anesthesia. This is the only way they will get numb for treatment. And for those who need more work done in one visit, this is also the perfect option. We also have nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for those who only require lighter sedation.
