Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Dental sedation alleviates sensitivity and anxiety during dental procedures, as well as allows them to be combined into fewer appointments. It can be used for any procedure, such as fillings, root canals, crowns, implants, wisdom tooth extraction, and more.

Some of the benefits of sedation dentistry include:

• Multiple procedures in a single visit
• Feeling as if you're dozing off during the procedure
• Reduces dental anxiety or phobia
• Enhanced surgical procedure comfort
• Helps manage sensitive gag reflexes

Sedation dentistry is a very safe and effective procedure for patients of all backgrounds. Our licensed sedation dentist in Wilmington has received the necessary training and credentials in various levels of sedation dentistry, allowing us to better serve your specific needs.

Types of Dental Sedation in Wilmington

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Laughing gas is one of the simplest and lightest forms of dental sedation. Nitrous oxide sedation is suitable for a wide range of dental procedures, including cleanings, fillings, and extractions. You will be fully aware throughout the appointment, but you will be less concerned about what is going on.

IV Sedation

If you're going to require a complex or lengthy dental procedure, IV Sedation is a great way to relax. The medication is administered via an IV drip line to provide a safe but deeper level of sedation. You'll feel as if you're napping through the appointment and likely won’t remember anything afterward.
