Sedation dentistry offers a safe and efficient solution to alleviate any apprehension or anxiety associated with dental visits. Consider sedation if you:

  • Experiencing anxiety or fear during dental visits
  • Requiring additional assistance to ensure numbness for pain-free treatment
  • Postponing necessary dental procedures due to anxiety
  • Having a sensitive gag reflex Experiencing jaw strain during dental work
  • Requiring extensive dental treatments

ORAL SEDATION & I.V. SEDATION

Oral sedation is usually advised for patients experiencing mild anxiety and for shorter dental procedures. Prior to your appointment, you’ll take a prescribed oral sedative to induce relaxation during the treatment. While under oral sedation, you’ll remain awake but in a calm state, closely supervised to guarantee your safety and comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Mark Ferdos and Dr. Meg Ferdos are both trained to administer oral sedation.

In dentistry, I.V. sedation is primarily utilized for patients experiencing severe anxiety, those requiring extensive dental procedures, or those undergoing surgical dental interventions. This method offers precise control over relaxation levels, allowing customization according to individual needs. Throughout the procedure, patients typically reach a deeply relaxed state, often sleeping through it, though it differs from general anesthesia. With I.V. sedation, patients can expect:

  • No recollection of the procedure
  • Complete relaxation and comfort
  • Absence of fear or anxiety during treatment

Dr. Mark Ferdos, a Board Certified professional, has undergone comprehensive training to administer I.V. sedation in dentistry. To explore whether safe and effective sedation dentistry is suitable for your needs, schedule a consultation today!
