What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation Dentistry in Sunrise, FL And Plantation, Pine Island Ridge & Lauderhill FL 

Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, is the use of medication to help people relax during dental procedures. The type and amount of sedation used will be based on each individual patient's needs. Sedation dentistry can range from minimal sedation, where a patient is still awake but relaxed, to general anesthesia, where the patient is asleep for the duration of the procedure. At the Implant Center of Sunrise, we offer oral sedation, light IV sedation, moderate and deep sedation anesthesia.

Understanding Oral Sedation

Oral sedation in dentistry refers to the administration of sedative drugs through the oral route (typically in the form of pills) to help relax and reduce stress in patients during dental procedures. It's especially beneficial for those with dental anxiety, phobia, or those undergoing longer or more invasive procedures. The specific drug, its dose, and the time of administration will vary based on the procedure's length and the desired sedation level. Oral sedation is easy to administer, non-invasive, and generally considered safe for most patients.

Basics of IV Sedation in Dentistry

Another option for sedation is IV sedation, which is the direct administration of anesthetic agents into bloodstream via a vein. With IV sedation, you can expect:

An immediate and controlled sedative effect

To be relaxed but able to maintain breathing without assistance

Quick onset, a shorter recovery time, and an amnesia effect

Relief of dental anxiety and discomfort

Constant monitoring by a board-certified anesthesia provider with extensive experience in all levels of anesthesia

Dental Anesthesia

Anesthesia is a medication that is used to block pain signals from the brain. When anesthesia is used, the patient will not feel pain in the area of the body that is being treated. There are a variety of different types of anesthesia, each with different pros and cons. The type of anesthesia that you and your doctor choose for your treatment will depend on the type of procedure, your health history, your preferences, and more. Some procedures that patients may opt for anesthesia include:

Wisdom tooth extractions

Dental implants

Tooth extractions

Root canals

Cavity fillings

Crowns and bridges
