Sedation Dentist Deerfield
The Comfort You Want, The Calm You Deserve
You don’t need a dental degree or complete an endodontic residency to know that the prospect of undergoing root canal treatment causes many people to feel anxious. These nerves are sometimes powerful enough to make people avoid the care they need, but we’re able to help them move past this hurdle using sedation dentistry in Deerfield. If you’ve been told by your general dentist you need a root canal, be sure to talk to our team about all the ways we can make sure you stay comfortable in the treatment chair.
Why Choose MeTa Endodontics for Sedation Dentistry?
- Multiple Dental Sedation Options
- Practice Led by Two Experienced Endodontists
- We Take Dental Patient Comfort Seriously
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is our gentlest form of sedation dentistry, leading to feelings of warmth and calm after a patient takes just a few breaths through a small nasal mask. The effects come on quickly, remain throughout the entire visit, and dissipate right away once the gas is stopped. This means you can come in, be treated, and resume your regular day afterward.
Oral Conscious Sedation
With oral conscious sedation, you’ll be prescribed medication to take at home that should help ease your anxiety. It should be in full effect by the time you reach our office, and depending on how you feel, we might have you take more before we begin your procedure. In the chair, you’ll remain awake, but time will seemingly flow by quickly, meaning you’ll be done before you know it. Because OCS starts at home and can linger for several hours afterward, be sure to have a trusted person drive you to and from our office!
IV Sedation
For patients with high-level dental anxiety, or those who need to have several teeth treated in a single appointment, IV sedation can allow them to remain calm and comfortable throughout the entire process. We work with a medical anesthesiologist for this process to ensure your full comfort and safety. The medication is administered directly into the bloodstream, making the patient extremely relaxed in less than a minute. The level of sedation can be adjusted throughout the appointment so that a patient is perfectly content from moment to moment.
