Sedation Dentist in Chicago
What is Sedation (Sleep) Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves administering a sedative to put you to sleep during your dental appointments. If you’re fearful of the dentist and regularly experience anxiety and panic attacks, sedation dentistry is the right option for you. It’s safe for both pediatric and adult patients alike and is monitored regularly throughout your appointment. Sedation may be needed for more complicated surgeries and procedures.
Why is Sedation (Sleep) Dentistry necessary?
You may want or need sedation because you’ve been putting off dental care for far too long. Sedation helps you to relax in the office and finally have the treatment done that’s needed. Likewise, our Chicago dentists may recommend sedation if you suffer from a medical condition that prevents you from sitting still in the chair or if there is a surgery or more complicated procedure needing to be done.
Who’s a good candidate for Sedation (Sleep) Dentistry?
Because sedation is safely administered and monitored at all times, most patients can easily benefit from sleep dentistry. Dr. Barsa and Dr. Delafuente will first consult with you regarding the type of sedation that’s right for you. It is important that you have someone to bring you from your appointment when undergoing sleep dentistry as it is unsafe for you to drive yourself. Sedation dentistry can be requested at the majority of your appointments on an as-needed basis.
What can be expected with Sedation (Sleep) Dentistry?
Our dental office in Chicago will first consult with you regarding the type and level of sedation that you’d like. We offer both conscious and full sedation to suit your needs. Your appointment involves administering this sedation and beginning the treatment that’s needed. You will be taken to one of our recovery rooms and given time to wake up from the sedative used. You’ll need a friend or relative to bring you home from the office once you’ve been cleared to leave. We can administer sedation at any appointment where you’d rather relax than be scared, fearful or panicked.
If you are interested in sedation dentistry and want to know more about your options, contact Confident Smiles and we’ll help to get you in for a consultation appointment with Dr. Barsa and Dr. Delafuente.
