Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry, also called sleep dentistry, helps millions of people with fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist get the care they need. With the aid of sedation dentistry, you will experience deep relaxation, drifting into a light stage of sleep while we turn back the clock with general, cosmetic, or restorative therapies. Don't let anxiety keep you from enjoying your smile, when Dr. Barber can alleviate your fear with sedation dentistry/sleep dentistry options.
We offer two options in sedation dentistry. The first is oral conscious sedation. With this option, Dr. Barber prescribes a medication in pill form, which you take in the office an hour prior to your appointment. You will have blood pressure and pulse oximetry monitors attached to your arm and finger while you wait for the medication to take effect. Once you are lightly sleeping, you will have your dental procedures completed. Most often, our patients don’t even remember having their dental work done.
We know that many patients put off having dental work because of high anxiety levels. Oral Conscious Sedation is a wonderful way for our highly anxious patients to have their dental work completed.
For our patients who are anxious and have minor to moderate medical complications as well, we offer I.V. Sedation. This works as well as conscious sedation, but provides an additional level of monitoring for our patients who require closer supervision while sedated.
If you have been avoiding having necessary dental work because you are very anxious, sedation dentistry may be the answer you’ve been waiting for.
