Sedation Dentistry - Wilmington, Delaware

If the very thought of visiting a dentist makes you break out in a cold sweat, sedation dentistry may be perfect for you. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation dentistry at our Wilmington, Delaware practice, so even the most anxious patients can comfortably undergo necessary dental treatment.

Oral Sedation Dentistry

Whether you are a true dental phobic or just want to be able to snooze through your treatment, sedation dentistry at our Wilmington, Delaware, office is for you.

With sedation dentistry, we can fix years worth of damage in small comfortable visits. We can fill your teeth with natural tooth-colored fillings, place crowns, implants, place porcelain veneers, perform teeth whitening, and even restore sore gums to perfect health.

Before you undergo sedation dentistry at our Wilmington, Delaware, practice, the dentist will sit down with you to answer all of your questions and make sure you are a good candidate for sedation. Once we have reviewed your treatment plan with you, we will schedule an appointment at your convenience.

If any of these conditions sound all too familiar, sedation dentistry may be right for you:

• Paralyzing fear of undergoing dental treatment
• History of traumatic dental experiences
• Difficulty getting numb
• Extremely sensitive teeth
• Hate the sounds and smells associated with dental treatment
• Avoid going to the dentist, even though you are experiencing discomfort
• Experience sweaty palms or grip the armrests during treatment

Don’t let your smile - and your health - suffer because of your fear. Contact us today to learn more about sedation dentistry at our Wilmington, Delaware, practice.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry

For the less anxious patient who just needs a little help relaxing, nitrous oxide, or "laughing gas," is a great little helper. Nitrous oxide is an extremely safe, effective method of sedation dentistry.

Once you are comfortably seated in your treatment room, a soft rubber mask will be placed over your nose. You breathe in and out through your nose as you would normally breathe while the machine regulates the amount of nitrous oxide and oxygen you receive. The level of sedation can be adjusted to match each individual patient’s needs.

When you are completely relaxed, we will begin treatment. Because nitrous oxide is a conscious sedation dentistry technique, you will always be conscious and completely under control. You will also be able to let the dentist know if you are feeling any discomfort or uncomfortable sensations. If for some reason you feel uncomfortable, the nitrous oxide can be discontinued, and within five minutes you should feel the effects disappear. Once your procedure is complete, you will be given pure oxygen for about five minutes. You should return to “normal” very quickly, and you will be able to drive yourself home.
