You never have to worry about dental anxiety or discomfort again. Reducing pain and stress is an essential part of good dentistry and patient care. At Better Dental in Cary, our dental professionals use gentle and effective oral sedation. Oral sedation is used to help our patients relax during their procedures and recover with greater ease.
Sedation dentistry allows our team to perform more work in a single visit by reducing any pain you may experience and put your mind at ease. This can be an excellent option for patients who haven’t seen the dentist in a few years and are feeling anxious about scheduling their overdue visits. Sedation is recommended for various surgical and non-surgical procedures to make your visit as relaxing as possible.
Oral sedation, also called oral conscious sedation, is a form of sedation that we administer in a liquid or pill. The effects of oral sedation range from mild to moderate, depending on the dosage you receive. Under oral sedation, you will be drowsy, calm, and deeply relaxed. Our team uses oral sedation combined with a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area and help you feel completely calm and at ease throughout your procedure.
Patients don’t typically fall asleep under oral sedation. If you do fall asleep, our team can easily awaken you after your procedure. Some patients experience grogginess due to oral sedation, but the effects are generally relatively mild and pass within 1-2 hours. Be sure that someone can drive you home following your appointment until the effects of sedation completely wear off.
The full cost of dental sedation may vary by the dose required for your unique care needs and will be provided to you at the end of your appointment, along with all other treatment costs. If you would like to know more about the exact cost of sedation services, let us know. We would be more than happy to discuss your needs and concerns with you.
Yes, sedation dentistry and oral sedation are a safe treatment option. Our experienced dentists and support team are certified in the safest sedation methods modern dentistry has to offer. However, during your appointment, we will still take a complete medical history and discuss any adverse reactions you may have had to sedation in the past.
Many people take their oral health for granted because they don’t like the idea of visiting the dentist.
Better Dental changes all that by giving you a fun dental experience. When you visit our clinic in Apex, you’ll be encouraged to come back regularly because:
