Enjoy Easy Dental Care With Sedation

The last thing we want is for you to feel tense and worked up during your dental visit. We're sure you'd rather feel relaxed and at ease than nervous. To help you get the most out of your smile care, we offer a choice of dental sedation options. With sedation, you'll completely relax in the dental chair and let your worries float away. We've helped many patients through their dental anxiety and would love to do the same for you.

You can take your pick from the following sedation methods:

  • Laughing Gas - This sweet-smelling gas will give you an all-over sense of euphoria and well-being after you breathe it in. You may even experience a tingly sensation over your body as you comfortably lie back without any cares.
  • A Small Pill - Before your appointment, you'll take an FDA-approved pill which Dr. Despain will prescribe for you. It will help you completely relax and unwind in the dental chair.
  • IV Sedation - If you want to be blissfully unaware of anything around you, IV sedation should be your choice. You'll be in a twilight state and won't remember much about your procedure after you wake up.

You'll also find comforting patient amenities to help you relax and feel at home:

  • Warm blankets to chase away the chill
  • Soft pillows to support your neck
  • Headphones so you can lose yourself in music

Your Appointments Go Smoothly With Sedation

Whichever sedation option is right for you, you will appreciate that it is a simple process. Here is what you can expect:

  • Dr. Despain will review your medical history with you to determine which sedation is right for you.
  • For laughing gas, you simply breathe in the nitrous oxide through a mask. It acts fast and fades quickly.
  • For oral sedation, you'll take the sedative beforehand. You feel completely at ease by the time your treatment begins. You'll still be responsive to instructions and commands we give you.
  • For IV sedation, you will come into our office and receive general anesthesia from a professional anesthetist. While you are asleep, we will complete your dental procedure.
  • With IV sedation or oral sedation, you'll need to arrange for a ride home from a friend or family member. These sedative effects typically last several hours. With laughing gas, you can drive home comfortably.

In the past two months both my husband & myself have had dental work done at Skyview Dental, and we have both been very pleased with both the staff & Dr. Despain. The office staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and diligent in ensuring a positive patient experience. From helping us through insurance questions, to fitting my husband in the next day when he chipped a tooth shortly before he was to leave on an extended work trip, our experiences have been nothing but positive. Additionally, during the healing process, after having my wisdom teeth removed at Skyview Dental, anytime I had questions or concerns, the staff was quick to answer them & address any concerns I had. 10/10 :)

Their sedative effects range from mild to deep and will fit the needs of any patient who is nervous about receiving their dental care.

Are your sedation options safe?
