Sedation Dentistry in Richardson
Unfortunately, too many people avoid the dentist due to fear of discomfort. Thanks to the advances in technology and techniques in modern dentistry, that is no longer necessary. Richardson Dentistry is proud to introduce new sedation dentistry methods for your peace of mind. Whether you have excessive fears about visiting the dentist or you simply want a more comfortable experience, our competent team can help.
Visiting the dentist is meant to be a positive experience, and with advanced sedation dentistry in Richardson, now it can be. Call (972) 690-8617 for details.
Some of the advanced conscious sedation medications we use help patients achieve a state of deep relaxation. However, patients remain conscious throughout the appointment. They are still able to respond to the dentist’s commands and the airway stays open throughout the session. That is not the case with general anesthesia, which requires the airway to be maintained artificially.
Richardson Dentistry offers the knowledge and skill of a physician who specializes in anesthesiology. We are able to monitor your vital signs while you are under sedation. Sedation dentistry is generally safe, so this is just an added measure for your protection.
Patients can choose from a variety of delivery methods for the sedatives. Our compassionate doctors and dental staff are happy to address all of your concerns with you so you can choose the sedation method that is most beneficial for your needs.
We offer many types of sedation, some of which include:
Fearful patients are not the only ones who can benefit from sedation dentistry. If you are facing a lengthy or complex cosmetic dental treatment, sedation dentistry can allow you to tolerate longer treatment sessions. Our Richardson dental team can discuss this option with you if you are interested in completing treatment in fewer sessions.
If you do choose sedation dentistry, be prepared to have a responsible adult drive you. Patients who opt for IV sedation may need to fast prior to the appointment, so feel free to inquire about any arrangements you should make. Our team can help you make sure you are as prepared as possible for treatment.
Finding the right dentist to help you with your dental needs is critical, especially if sedation is involved. Fear of the dentist is very common among patients, but our compassionate dental team is here to change that.
