At Core Dental, we are painfully aware that many people avoid seeking dental care because they associate going to the dentist with discomfort and anxiety. Now, these individuals can receive needed dental treatment, thanks to new pain management techniques known as “sedation dentistry” that help people feel calm and relaxed while receiving dental treatment. At our office in Calgary, our sedation dentist uses these techniques to make receiving cosmetic dentistry, restorative care, and general dental treatments pleasant and virtually pain-free. Dr. Kim Orth has over seven years of experience providing sedation dentistry, and patients from as far as Red Deer seek the services of our talented sedation dentist. Stress-free dentistry is possible with this technique; contact Core Dental for more information.
Individuals in Red Deer and surrounding areas can find exceptional sedation dentistry techniques at our office in Calgary. A skilled sedation dentist, Dr. Orth chooses the best method to suit your needs. Some options include:
Oral Conscious Sedation – With oral conscious sedation, patients take a small pill about one hour before their appointment that induces a deeply relaxed but responsive state. When they arrive for their appointment, many patients hardly notice when the anesthetic is administered, and they often have little to no memory of their dental procedure. The sedative effect generally lasts for several hours after the procedure, and patients can enjoy a relaxing afternoon with hardly a care.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation – Nitrous oxide sedation, or “laughing gas,” is a milder sedative that is administered at the dentist’s office. It takes effect immediately, provides a potent numbing effect, and wears off almost completely at the appropriate time. Many patients from Calgary and as far as Red Deer who choose sedation dentistry with nitrous gas enjoy its benefits, since it eliminates pain without the lingering grogginess of other methods.
Sedation dentistry has numerous benefits that make life easier when it comes to visiting the dentist. At our Calgary office, we use sedation dentistry to enhance numerous dental procedures, including restoration of dental implants. These techniques are especially useful for patients who fear the prick of a needle, have overactive gag reflexes, very sensitive teeth, or difficulty becoming fully numb through other sedative methods. Since the amount of sedatives used during sedation dentistry can be controlled, it allows dentists to perform multiple treatments in one visit. Finally, sedation dentistry’s relaxing effect allows patients with dental anxiety to schedule much-needed exams with confidence. In fact, many patients from Calgary, Red Deer, and nearby areas who have received treatment from our sedation dentist have even enjoyed their dental visits.
"I literally become a different person in the dental chair. With sedation dentistry, I was able to accomplish much-needed work comfortably. I am thankful I have found someplace I finally feel comfortable enough to get the work done."
--Tina L.
"I hate dentists! With Sedation Dentistry, I don't even remember having the treatment done. Wish I had discovered this long ago."
--Bill R.
