If the thought of visiting the dentist makes you anxious, you’re not alone! Dental fear and anxiety keep many people from getting the care they need, but avoiding visits to the dentist allows problems to get worse and leads to worse oral health and more complex treatment needs.
At Bright Smiles by Dr. Vera Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we’re proud to offer sedation dentistry in Hallandale Beach, FL, to help you feel calm and comfortable during every treatment. You can receive the necessary care without stress or discomfort with safe and effective dental anesthesia options!
Dental anxiety is a deeply personal issue. It varies from person to person and may even feel more intense depending on the day or what kind of treatment you need. We offer several dental anesthesia solutions to deliver comfortable care at every visit.
Commonly known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation dentistry that helps you feel calm while remaining fully awake. The effects wear off quickly once the gas is stopped, allowing you to resume your daily activities without lingering drowsiness.
It also helps local dental anesthesia work better and last longer, making it an excellent solution for people with trouble staying numb during dental treatments. Nitrous oxide is an excellent choice for patients with mild dental anxiety, people who need help feeling comfortable during routine dental visits, and those looking for a sedation dentistry solution that won’t leave them feeling groggy after their procedure.
Oral-conscious sedation dentistry involves taking a prescribed oral medication before your appointment to help you feel relaxed and at ease. While you’ll remain awake, you’ll feel drowsy and have little memory of the procedure.
This option is ideal for patients with moderate dental anxiety or those undergoing more involved treatments such as dental implants. This option is highly effective for several hours, so you’ll need a companion to drive you home after your visit.
For those with severe dental anxiety or undergoing complex procedures like full-mouth dental implants or wisdom tooth extractions, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation allows precise control over sedation levels, ensuring maximum comfort.
Many people feel as if they slept through their appointment. IV sedation allows us to adjust the dosage of your medication from moment to moment, ensuring effective pain control throughout your visit.
We understand how intimidating dental visits can be. Even if you’re generally comfortable during routine check-ups, you may feel hesitant about more involved treatments. However, avoiding the care you need gives these problems time to progress, leading to more pain, more invasive treatment needs, and higher expense, not to mention the risks to your overall health. With our sedation dentistry solutions, anxiety won’t stand in the way of a healthy smile. Our compassionate team is here to ensure your experience is comfortable, safe, and worry-free!
