Sedation Dentistry in Delray Beach, FL
At Linton Family Dentists, we understand that many patients experience anxiety about dental visits. We offer multiple sedation options to ensure a calm, comfortable experience tailored to your needs. From mild relaxation to deeper sedation, our goal is to help you feel at ease so you can receive the dental care you need without fear or discomfort.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s ideal for those with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or in need of complex treatments. We offer various sedation options to fit your needs, from mild relaxation to deeper sedation.
Types of Sedation We Offer
Our sedation options include:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Nitrous oxide is a mild sedation option that helps you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your appointment. Its effects wear off quickly, allowing you to return to your day shortly after your appointment.
- Oral Sedation: With oral sedation, you’ll take a prescribed medication before your visit. This option allows you to stay awake but in a deeply relaxed state, making it ideal for patients with moderate anxiety.
- IV Sedation: For patients with significant dental anxiety or those requiring extensive procedures, IV sedation offers a deeper level of sedation, allowing you to feel calm and even get into a light sleep.
- General Anesthesia: General anesthesia is recommended for patients in need of extensive dental work or those with extreme anxiety. With general anesthesia patients are completely unconscious.
Our expert team will help determine the best sedation option based on your needs, comfort level, and the procedure being performed.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry can be beneficial for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
- Have sensitive teeth or a strong gag reflex
- Require lengthy or multiple treatments
- Have difficulty sitting still or relaxing in the dental chair
