Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry has revolutionized our approach to modern dental procedures. Sedation dentistry is a medical tool that is used to ease dental discomfort and internal stress before the service even begins. 

There are many different kinds of dental sedatives depending on the scope of treatment and personal comfort. Dental sedation is one of the easiest ways we make dental sedation easier for you. Call our dental office today to learn more about this unique service.

Sedation Dentistry at Boise Dentistry Co.

There are a few different types of dental sedation that we use here at Boise Dentistry Co—all administered by our dental team.

There may be times when we need to bring an anaesthesiologist or a CRNA to assist treatment, but we will fully disclose this when the need arises.

  • Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide): Laughing gas uses a mixture of gas and oxygen to keep your body at ease. This sedation wears off almost immediately after the service.
  • IV Sedation: IV sedation inserts medication into your bloodstream for a deeper state of relaxation. This more significant sedation requires a ride home after the service.
  • General Sedation: General sedation is the most powerful dental sedative on the market. It can take slightly longer to fully recoup after the sedation wears off.

Would Sedation Dentistry Work For Me?

Sedation dentistry can benefit all patients who need additional relaxation during their appointment. These are a few common situations our patients come across, and how this dental tool can help. 

If you have any other needs that may be keeping you from receiving dental care, don’t hesitate to let us know. Boise Dentistry Co comes equipped with years of post-graduate experience in patient comfort and optimized procedures.

Dental Anxiety

Many patients come with a background of dental anxiety, whether from past dental experiences or personal inhibitions. Our team is able to use dental sedation, no matter how simple the service service, to help patients receive the necessary help they need while feeling comfortable doing it.

Sensitive Teeth or Circumstances

Patients often arrive at the office dealing with sensitive teeth or a gag reflex, making even simple dental procedures feel intimidating. There are also some patients with large-scale sensory issues that can even further complicate conventional dental treatments. 

Dental sedation is personalized to meet these needs. On top of calming nerves, dental sedation is also built to minimize pain and discomfort while the procedure takes place. The calming effect clears any impulse from your throat and nerves that influence tooth sensitivity.

Extensive Dental Procedures

Extensive dental procedures such as implants and smile makeovers are highly suggested to be paired with dental sedation to make the service less difficult for the patient. Using dental sedation can also help patients ease the transition to their new smile by improving recovery times and treatment efficiency.

What To Keep In Mind About Sedation

If you’ve decided to use dental sedation for your next appointment, it is essential to keep in mind these things to help your service go smoothly.

  • Follow Pre-Sedation Instructions: Our dental team will instruct you on how to personally prepare for your service based on your health history. 
  • Find a Ride: Many dental sedatives can linger in your system temporarily as the treatment takes place. Finding a ride to take you home can help you recover more easily.
  • Restrictions: Be sure to fully disclose your medical history as instructed by the dentist so we can choose which treatment plan works best for you and your needs.
