For many individuals, the thought of visiting the dentist can evoke feelings of anxiety, fear, or even panic. Whether it’s the sound of the drill or a past negative experience, these worries often lead people to delay essential dental treatments. At Mason Dental in Grapevine, TX, we understand these concerns and are committed to creating a comfortable and stress-free experience for every patient. That’s why Dr. Scott Mason and his team offer safe and effective sedation dentistry options catered to your needs.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s a valuable solution for patients suffering from dental anxiety, or phobia, or those who simply want a more comfortable experience in the dental chair. At Mason Dental, we’re proud to offer a variety of sedation techniques to help you receive the treatment you need without fear or discomfort.
Sedation Dentistry Techniques We Offer
At Mason Dental, we believe in patient-centered care, and that means offering options that suit different comfort levels. Here’s what we provide:
1. Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide):
This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask and is perfect for patients with mild anxiety. It takes effect quickly and allows you to feel calm and relaxed throughout the procedure. The best part? The sedative wears off almost immediately, so you can drive yourself home after your appointment.
2. Oral Conscious Sedation:
For patients with moderate levels of anxiety, oral conscious sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation. This involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, which helps you feel at ease while staying awake and responsive to your dentist’s guidance.
3. IV Sedation:
If you have severe dental anxiety or require extensive dental procedures, IV sedation may be the right option. This technique delivers sedative medication directly into your bloodstream, providing deep relaxation. You’ll remain conscious but in an extremely calm, almost dreamlike state.
Are You a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
If you’ve been delaying dental care due to anxiety, sensitivity, or a strong gag reflex—sedation dentistry could be the answer. Sedation is also beneficial for patients with difficulty sitting still for long periods or those undergoing major procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Mason will review your medical history and unique needs to determine the sedation option best suited for you.
