Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a safe and effective dental anesthesia method to alleviate dental anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures. Administered in the form of a pill, oral sedation induces a state of relaxation and calmness, allowing patients to undergo treatment comfortably. A single dose is taken an hour before your visit, and the night before helps reduce anxiety and procedural-related pain.
When you get this type of dental anesthesia in Mesa, AZ, we closely monitor all your vitals during treatment and shortly after that. A designated adult will need to drive you to and from our practice and should stay with you at home due to lingering side effects that can last up to 12 hours.
IV Sedation
IV sedation is a powerful method employed to achieve deep relaxation and alleviate anxiety during dental procedures. We bring in a specialized team trained in anesthesia to administer IV sedation and closely monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure. This ensures your safety and comfort when undergoing extensive treatments or those with severe dental phobia.
Timely Care Matters
Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile, and neglecting professional care can have far-reaching effects beyond oral health. Untreated gum disease, tooth decay, and harmful lifestyle habits can lead to bone and tooth loss and adversely affect overall health. Bacterial buildup causing advanced periodontitis can impact your heart, respiratory, and immune systems.
Suppose dental fear has prevented you from properly caring for your teeth and gums. In that case, our compassionate team at Greater Phoenix Periodontics & Implants is dedicated to making each visit as pleasant as possible. Sedation dentistry in Mesa, AZ, can transform your dental experience, allowing you to receive the essential care you need comfortably and stress-free!
