Comfort Dentistry (Sedation & Anesthesia)

We understand that visiting the dentist can be an overwhelming experience for some patients. Dental anxiety and fear are common, and they can prevent individuals from seeking the necessary care to maintain their oral health. That’s why we offer comfortable sedation options—a solution designed to make your dental experience calm, pain-free, and stress-free.

‍

Whether you have mild anxiety, require a complex procedure, or simply prefer a more relaxed experience, our sedation and anesthesia options ensure that you receive high-quality dental care in total comfort.

‍

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is an excellent option for individuals who experience:

‍

• Dental anxiety or phobia
• Fear of needles or dental instruments
• Sensitive teeth or gums
• A strong gag reflex
• Difficulty sitting still for extended periods
• Need for multiple or complex treatments in one visit

‍

With sedation, patients can remain calm and at ease while still being responsive and cooperative throughout their treatment.

‍

Options Available at Paris Dental Centre 

At Paris Dental Centre, we offer several sedation options to match your comfort level and the complexity of your procedure.

‍

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative that helps patients feel relaxed and at ease during their dental treatment.

‍

• Administered through a small mask placed over your nose.
• Creates a sense of calmness and euphoria within minutes.
• Effects wear off quickly after the procedure, allowing you to resume normal activities.
• Safe for children and adults.

‍

Best for: Patients with mild to moderate anxiety, those undergoing routine dental procedures, and individuals who need quick recovery time.

‍

IV Sedation (Intravenous Sedation)

IV sedation is a stronger form of sedation that is delivered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for deep relaxation and reduced awareness during the procedure.

‍

• Administered by a trained professional for precise control of sedation levels.
• You remain conscious but extremely relaxed, often with little or no memory of the procedure.
• Ideal for complex treatments such as wisdom tooth extractions, dental implants, and full-mouth restorations.
• Recovery takes a few hours, and someone must accompany you home.

‍

Best for: Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, those undergoing lengthy or complex dental procedures, and individuals who prefer minimal awareness during treatment.

‍

What is General Anesthesia?

For patients with extreme dental fear, special needs, or extensive surgical procedures, general anesthesia is available to ensure a completely pain-free and unconscious experience.

‍

• Administered by a licensed anesthesiologist in a controlled setting.
• You will be completely asleep throughout the procedure.
• Used for major oral surgeries, such as full-mouth reconstruction or impacted wisdom teeth removal.
• Recovery time is longer, and patients will need assistance getting home.

‍

Best for: Patients undergoing major surgical procedures, those with severe dental phobia, or individuals with certain medical conditions that make traditional sedation ineffective.

‍

Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is suitable for patients who:

‍

• Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety
• Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
• Struggle with a strong gag reflex or sensitive teeth
• Need extensive dental work in one visit
• Have difficulty sitting still due to medical conditions
• Require wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, or periodontal surgery

‍

At Paris Dental Centre, we carefully evaluate each patient’s medical history and personal needs to determine the safest and most effective sedation option.

‍

What to Expect Before, During & After 

Before Your Appointment:

• A consultation will be scheduled to review your medical history and determine the best sedation option.
• If undergoing IV sedation or general anesthesia, you may need to fast for a few hours before the procedure.
• If receiving laughing gas (N2O), it is required that patients do not eat or drink anything 2 hours prior to their appointment.

‍

During the Procedure:

• You will be closely monitored to ensure safety and comfort.
• Depending on the sedation level, you will feel relaxed, drowsy, or completely asleep.
• The dentist will perform the necessary treatment while you remain comfortable.

‍

After the Procedure:

• If you receive nitrous oxide, you will recover quickly and can resume normal activities.
• If you have had IV sedation, or general anesthesia, you will need someone to drive you home.
• Rest for the remainder of the day and follow all post-procedure instructions provided by your dentist.
