Dentist visits give me anxiety unlike anything else. Had to switch to this practice due to insurance changes. Beyond impressed with the office, state of the art equipment, and the staff were top notch. I’d especially like to recognize the hygienist. She was remarkably kind, understanding and gentle during my cleaning. She let me know every step she would be doing next, and was so encouraging and never made me feel uncomfortable. She was wonderful. Highly recommend this office.

The office is super clean and the staff is top notch. Every piece of equipment is state of the art and I’ve never felt so at ease while getting a cleaning. For years I avoided going to the dentist from a horrible experience, but Alexa did my cleaning and Dr. Chang came to speak with me afterwards. They both took the time to explain each step of their process and the reasoning behind it when it came to my overall health. I would not only recommend them, my entire family now goes there as well.

Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?

Dental anxiety can affect anyone, and it's more common than you might think. If any of the following apply to you, sedation dentistry might be the solution you've been looking for:

  • Dental Anxiety: Do you feel uneasy at the mere thought of visiting the dentist? Our sedation options can help calm your nerves and make your appointment a breeze.
  • Low Pain Threshold: Some people are more sensitive to pain. Sedation can help you relax and minimize discomfort during your treatment.
  • Restlessness: If you can't sit still during dental procedures, sedation can help you stay relaxed and still, ensuring the best possible outcome.
  • Sensitive Teeth: For those with sensitive teeth, dental procedures can be painful. Sedation can make your experience virtually pain-free.
  • Gag Reflex: A strong gag reflex can make dental visits challenging. Sedation can help you overcome this issue and receive the care you need.
  • Physical or Cognitive Conditions: If you have a condition that makes receiving dental treatment difficult, sedation can simplify the process and ensure your comfort.

Our Sedation Options

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is an excellent option for patients who want to remain awake but feel deeply relaxed and at ease during their dental procedure. This form of sedation is administered in the form of a liquid or pill, with the dosage carefully tailored to your specific needs.

Receiving oral conscious sedation at Blooming Dental & Implant Center is a straightforward and patient-centered process designed to ensure your comfort and relaxation throughout your dental procedure. Here's how it works:

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with our experienced dental team. During this appointment, we'll discuss your specific treatment needs, assess your medical history, and determine if oral conscious sedation is the right choice for you.
  2. Dosage Customization: Based on the information gathered during the consultation, our dentist will carefully customize the sedative dosage to match your individual requirements. The dosage will be administered in the form of a liquid or pill.
  3. Administration: You'll take the prescribed sedative medication as directed by our dental team, typically before your scheduled procedure. The sedative will induce a state of mild to moderate sedation, leaving you feeling drowsy, calm, and deeply relaxed.
  4. Treatment: Once the sedation has taken effect, you'll proceed with your dental treatment. Our skilled dental professionals will ensure your comfort and provide the necessary care while you remain in a tranquil state.
  5. Recovery: Following your procedure, you may experience some grogginess, but this typically subsides within an hour. It's crucial to have a friend or family member accompany you to your appointment and drive you home, as you should not operate a vehicle until the effects of the sedation have worn off.

IV Sedation (Sleep Dentistry)

For those seeking a deeper level of relaxation, we offer IV sedation, also known as "sleep dentistry." This method involves administering a sedative drug through a vein in your arm or hand during your dental procedure. The dosage is closely monitored to ensure your comfort and safety.

Receiving IV sedation is a straightforward and carefully monitored process designed to ensure your comfort and safety throughout your dental procedure. Here's a concise overview of the steps involved in receiving IV sedation at our state-of-the-art dental facility:

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation, during which our experienced dental team will review your medical history, discuss your treatment needs, and determine if IV sedation is the appropriate option for you.
  2. Preparation: On the day of your appointment, you'll arrive at our welcoming dental office. Before administering IV sedation, our skilled team will explain the process, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you're prepared for the procedure.
  3. IV Line Insertion: A certified and highly trained professional will gently insert an IV line into a vein in your arm or hand. This IV line will serve as the conduit for delivering the sedative medication directly into your bloodstream.
  4. Sedation Administration: Once the IV line is in place, the sedative medication will be administered at a controlled rate. Throughout your procedure, our team will continuously monitor your vital signs to ensure your comfort and safety.
  5. Procedure: While you'll remain awake and capable of responding to questions during the treatment, you will experience a deep state of relaxation and may not remember the procedure afterward.
  6. Post-Sedation Care: After your dental procedure is complete, you'll be carefully monitored as the effects of the sedation begin to wear off. You may feel drowsy, so it's essential to have a friend or family member present to drive you home.
  7. Recovery: The drowsiness associated with IV sedation typically dissipates within a few hours. During this time, it's important to rest and avoid any strenuous activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between oral conscious sedation and IV sedation?

  • Oral Conscious Sedation: This type of sedation involves taking a sedative medication in the form of a pill or liquid before your dental procedure. It induces a mild to moderate level of sedation, making you feel drowsy, relaxed, and calm, but you remain awake and aware throughout the procedure.
  • IV Sedation: Also known as "sleep dentistry," IV sedation involves administering a sedative medication through an intravenous (IV) line in your arm or hand. It provides a deeper level of relaxation, and while you remain conscious and able to respond to questions, you may not remember the procedure afterward.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained and experienced professionals like those at Blooming Dental & Implant Center. We carefully assess your medical history and specific case to determine if sedation is suitable for you. Our team monitors your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.

Will I be completely unconscious during IV sedation ("sleep dentistry")?

No, during IV sedation, you will not be completely unconscious. You'll be in a deep state of relaxation, and while you'll remain conscious and able to respond to questions or instructions, you may not remember the procedure afterward. The term "sleep dentistry" refers to the feeling of deep relaxation, not actual unconsciousness.

How long does the sedative effect last for both oral conscious sedation and IV sedation?

  • Oral Conscious Sedation: The effects of oral sedation typically last for a few hours. While you may feel drowsy during this time, you should be back to your normal state within an hour or two after the procedure.
  • IV Sedation: IV sedation provides a deeper and longer-lasting relaxation effect. You may continue to feel drowsy for a few hours after the procedure, so it's essential to have someone available to drive you home.

Will I still be able to communicate with my dentist while under sedation?

Yes, both oral conscious sedation and IV sedation allow you to communicate with your dentist. You'll be conscious and able to respond to questions or instructions during the procedure. This open line of communication ensures that your comfort and well-being are continuously monitored.

Can I eat or drink before receiving oral conscious sedation or IV sedation?

For both types of sedation, there are typically fasting requirements before the procedure. Your dentist will provide you with specific instructions regarding fasting, including when to stop eating and drinking. Following these guidelines is crucial to ensure the safe administration of sedation.

Is sedation dentistry suitable for children?

Sedation dentistry can be considered for children, particularly those with dental anxiety or extensive dental needs. However, it's essential to consult with a pediatric dentist or dental professional experienced in treating children to determine the most appropriate sedation option and dosage.

Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with sedation dentistry?

While sedation dentistry is generally safe, it does carry some potential side effects and risks. These may include temporary drowsiness, nausea, or headaches. The risks are minimized when administered by trained professionals who carefully evaluate your medical history and monitor you during the procedure.

How do I know if I'm a suitable candidate for oral conscious sedation or IV sedation?

The suitability for sedation dentistry is determined based on your individual needs and medical history. If you have dental anxiety, a low pain threshold, or other factors that make dental visits challenging, you may be a suitable candidate. Your dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation during a consultation to determine the best sedation option for you.
