Keep reading below to learn more about sedation dentistry in Frisco, TX and how it can benefit you.

Why Choose Stonebriar Smile Design for Sedation Dentistry?

Fast-Acting Nitrous Oxide In-House

Oral Conscious and IV Sedation Available

Powerful Hospital-Grade General Anesthesia

Oral Conscious Dental Sedation

You might be a candidate for oral conscious sedation if you suffer from mild to moderate dentophobia. One of our dentists will prescribe an extremely potent anti-anxiety pill for you to take about an hour before your appointment begins. Its relaxing effects will wash over you quickly, so you’ll need someone to drive you to and from our dental office. You won’t exactly be “put to sleep” with oral conscious sedation. You’ll be awake enough to respond to our requests, but chances are you won’t remember much of your procedure.

IV Dental Sedation

If you have severe dental anxiety, IV sedation allows you to get dental work done with as little anxiety as possible. Once you arrive at our dental office, a powerful sedative will be administered through a small, painless injection in the arm. You’ll become deeply relaxed almost instantly. We can even adjust the amount of sedative you receive in real-time to maximize your comfort throughout your procedure. The effects may last for hours, so you’ll need a ride to and from your appointment.

Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation

Those with mild dentophobia will find nitrous oxide a beneficial supplement to their routine dental appointments. Whether you need to complete a routine exam and cleaning, restorative treatment, or cosmetic enhancement, nitrous oxide keeps you calm and relaxed during your visit. To receive the sedative, we ask you to wear a non-invasive nasal mask and gently breath normally. As you inhale the sedative, you’ll feel a warm sensation throughout your body. Once the mask comes off, you should be able to resume your regular activities.

OraVerse®

After you’ve received a local anesthetic, you’ve probably been told that you should not eat or drink following your treatment until the numbing agent has had a chance to wear off. This is inconvenient, especially if the dental care is performed in the middle of the day. By using OraVerse®, we can considerably cut down the lasting effects of local anesthetic, allowing you to continue the rest of your day without interruption.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Here are a few of the numerous advantages of undergoing sedation dentistry:

  • Relief from paralyzing dental anxiety
  • The dentist can perform extensive treatment in one sitting
  • You’ll have little to no memory of the procedure
  • Your gag reflex is suppressed
  • You shouldn’t feel any pain during your treatment
  • The dentist can work efficiently
  • It can alleviate the discomfort of holding your mouth open for extended periods
  • It makes it easier to sit still for longer

Going to the dentist doesn’t have to be a stressful experience anymore. With sedation dentistry, we can calm your nervous mind and protect you from discomfort at the same time. Please get in touch with us to learn how we can use it at your next dental appointment. We can help you say goodbye to dental anxiety with sedation dentistry in Frisco!
