Is the thought of visiting the dentist daunting? Do you avoid the dentist because of dental fear or anxiety? Ask our dental office about sedation. We use dental sedation for patients who have lengthy or more complex procedures.
However, sedation can also benefit patients with dental anxiety or fear of the dentist. Sedation dentistry can help patients in our Raleigh, NC office receive preventative dental care like dental cleanings, dental extractions, and more.
Who Benefits from Sedation Dentistry?
Patients with a fear of needles, loud noises, or dental tools can receive sedation to get care without focusing on their dental fears. In addition, patients with general anxiety about dental care can also receive treatment using sedation. We recommend that patients or their loved ones contact our office for accommodation if they fear the dentist. Our dental office is a safe and judgment-free space. We work with our patients to ensure they are healthy and receive the best care for their smiles.
Types of Dental Sedation in Raleigh, NC
Oral Conscious Sedation
Patients take this type of dental sedation as a pill before treatment. Because patients will take the pill an hour before treatment, they will also require a ride to and from their appointment. Under oral conscious sedation, patients may be aware and awake. Although patients will not feel any pain, they can still feel slight sensations during their treatment.
