Sedation Options Tailored to Your Needs for Implant Procedures
We understand that every patient’s needs and comfort levels are unique. That’s why we offer a variety of sedation options for dental implant procedures. Whether you’re dealing with a fear of dental work or simply need assistance to relax, we will work with you to determine the best sedation option for your specific procedure.
At The Foleck Center, we offer these sedation options to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience:
Nitrous Oxide
At The Foleck Center, we want every patient to feel comfortable and at ease during their visit, which is why we offer nitrous oxide (also known as “laughing gas”) as a gentle, mild sedative. Administered through a small nose hood, nitrous oxide helps you feel more relaxed and can elevate your mood, promoting a general sense of calm and well-being throughout your procedure.
Not only does it ease anxiety, but it also helps reduce any discomfort you may feel. While under the effects of nitrous oxide, some patients may experience a light tingling or numbness, but rest assured, these sensations are normal and temporary. With a long track record of safety, nitrous oxide has been trusted in dentistry for many years.
Our team at The Foleck Center is dedicated to ensuring that you have a stress-free experience, and we are here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions about nitrous oxide or how it can help with your upcoming procedure, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
IV Sedation
At The Foleck Center, we understand that some patients may feel anxious about dental procedures, which is why we offer IV sedation to help ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. IV sedation is a moderate level of sedation that provides a deeply relaxed state during your treatment. Many patients who have experienced IV sedation describe the feeling as if they “slept” through the entire procedure, making it ideal for those undergoing more involved treatments.
Administered through a direct injection into the bloodstream, the effects of IV sedation are immediate, allowing us to quickly ease any discomfort or anxiety you may have. While most patients feel calm and relaxed during the procedure, it’s common to feel a little groggy or sleepy once the sedatives begin to wear off. Because of this, we always recommend having a designated driver accompany you home after your appointment.
At The Foleck Center, we are fortunate to have a highly trained and dedicated anesthesiologist on staff who ensures your safety and comfort throughout the entire sedation process. Our team is committed to providing you with exceptional care, and we’re here to make your visit as pleasant and worry-free as possible. If you have any questions about IV sedation or want to know more about how it can help you, feel free to reach out to us. Your comfort is our top priority!
Oral Conscious Sedation
At The Foleck Center, we understand that many of our patients have a fear of needles, which is why we offer Oral Conscious Sedation as a gentle and effective solution. This form of sedation uses oral medication to induce a moderate state of relaxation, allowing patients to feel at ease throughout their dental procedures. Although oral sedatives won’t cause sleep, they help dull the senses, making most patients feel as though they don’t remember the sounds, smells, or any discomfort associated with the procedure. For added comfort, the medication is typically taken prior to the appointment and may be topped up during the procedure if needed.
Our experienced team at The Foleck Center will carefully evaluate your needs and select the best medication for your comfort. We’re committed to making your visit as stress-free as possible and ensuring you have a positive experience throughout your dental treatment.
If you have any concerns or questions about oral conscious sedation, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help you feel relaxed and confident every step of the way!
