Our Personalized Sedation Dentistry Options
Oral Sedation
A small dose of sedative medication is taken about an hour before your visit to help reduce anxiety associated with dental implant treatment. Although this type of conscious sedation dentistry is safe, the benzodiazepines used to treat dental anxiety are associated with side effects.
As such, we carefully monitor you during treatment, and a responsible adult must drive you to and from our practice. Drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired motor skills can last up to 12 hours, so you should rest at home following your procedure.
IV Sedation
IV sedation in Stillorgan, Dublin, involves administering a sedative medication through an IV tube connected to a needle in your arm or hand. The steady drip of medicine goes directly into your bloodstream and can be adjusted or reversed during treatment. IV sedation is the deepest form of conscious sedation, and while you may drift off into a light sleep, our team can easily awaken you.
Your heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure are closely monitored throughout the sedation process.
Due to the short-term amnesiac effects of the medication, you will probably not recall much or anything about your procedure. As with oral sedation, the sedative effects of the medication can last up to 12 hours, so a designated person must drive you home, and you should refrain from activities that require unimpaired motor and cognitive skills.
Behaviour Management Techniques
When you visit Smile More Implant Centre, we strive to make your experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Our team is trained in behaviour management techniques designed to help you feel relaxed and in control during your appointment.
Through a customised combination of gentle communication, positive reinforcement, deep breathing, guided imagery, and calming distractions, we tailor our approach to meet your anxiety and triggers. Combined with your choice of sedation, these techniques can truly help ease treatment.
Professional Dental Care is Essential for a Healthy You
For many people, visiting the dentist can be a nerve-racking experience that leads to avoiding or neglecting their oral health. Without proper professional oral care, harmful bacteria in your mouth can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, systemic infections, and eventual tooth loss. If the dental office’s sights, sounds, or smells are preventing you from scheduling the care you need, dental anaesthesia in Stillorgan, Dublin, can help protect your oral, emotional, and overall health.
Sedation dentistry can alleviate the stress associated with complex treatments and prolonged chair time and eliminate the need for multiple appointments. Ask our team about sedation anaesthesia and receive the life-changing, stress-free, and comfortable implant care you deserve at Dublin’s leading dental implant centre!
