How Can Sedation Dentistry
Help You?

Our Sedation Dentistry Solutions

The intensity of dental anxiety varies from person to person and even depending on what type of treatment you need. We offer several safe and effective sedation dentistry options to ensure you can always get truly comfortable care tailored to your needs.

Nitrous Oxide

Sometimes called “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a gentle form of dental anesthesia that can help you feel calm and relaxed without leaving you groggy after your visit. By inhaling a combination of nitrous oxide gas and oxygen through a nasal mask, you can enjoy a comfortable visit even for minimally invasive treatments like LANAP.

Nitrous oxide helps to decrease discomforts like tooth sensitivity and suppresses the gag reflex, making dental care much more tolerable. We can frequently pair nitrous oxide with other forms of sedation dentistry to increase their effects.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a simple and effective way to relax before and during treatment. It involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment.

You will remain awake but deeply relaxed, usually with little to no memory of the procedure. This approach to sedation dentistry lasts several hours, making it ideal for longer, more complex treatments such as full-mouth dental implant surgery.

IV Sedation

Administered through an intravenous line, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation for people with higher anxiety or those undergoing extensive procedures. With careful monitoring, we ensure your safety and comfort throughout your treatment.

Because we can adjust the medication dosage from moment to moment, this is an excellent option that gives us the ability to tailor your level of sedation as needed.

General Anesthesia

General Anesthesia

Some procedures or medical situations are best addressed with complete unconsciousness during a procedure. We work with a nurse anesthetist to provide general dental anesthesia. Our anesthetist will closely monitor your vital signs and ensure a safe, painless process.

This option is ideal for extensive surgical treatments, those with extreme dental phobia, and people with developmental delays that make dental treatments very difficult.

How Dental Phobia Can
Negatively Affect Your Oral Health

The earlier you address developing oral health issues, the more affordable, conservative, and successful your treatment will be. Putting off dental treatments because of fear increases your risks for serious complications, including tooth loss, infections, and systemic health problems.

Imagine the confidence and peace of mind you could experience with a clean bill of dental health and a strong, healthy smile. With sedation dentistry in Boise or Meridian, ID, our team can help you overcome your dental phobias and get the care you need in a relaxed, comfortable environment. We also offer flexible financing options to ensure exceptional experiences are always within reach so you can get back to living life to the fullest with excellent oral health.
