The Calming Effects of Sedation Dentistry
Does the thought of going to the dentist leave you feeling anxious? Are you reminded of past dental experience you wish you could forget? You are not alone. As many as 79% of people in America suffer from dental anxiety—and many of them don’t receive the necessary dental care as a result.
We understand your anxieties and can empathize with your situation! That’s why, along with providing a relaxing and judgment-free atmosphere, we offer personalized sedation dentistry in Lexington, KY. Our team is certified to provide multiple sedation techniques, including nitrous oxide or oral sedation to meet your unique needs.
You can experience a comfortable, stress-free dental appointment, and it starts at Bluegrass Dentistry!
Candidates for Sedation Dentistry
- Anxious about treatment, or dentists in general
- Affected by sensitive teeth and gums
- Uncomfortable with sounds and tastes at the dentist
- Anxious about complex dental treatment
- Have trouble getting numb
- Prefer to complete multi-part dental treatments in just one visit
- Are undergoing oral surgery (such as a tooth extraction)
- Have a severe gag reflex
- Suffer from profound dental anxiety or phobia
General Anesthesia
For patients with profound dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive oral surgery, general anesthesia offers the deepest level of comfort by putting you into a completely sleep-like state throughout your procedure. You will have no awareness of sights, sounds, or sensations during your treatment, making it an ideal option for those who have struggled with other forms of sedation.
Our team will monitor you closely throughout the entire process to ensure your safety and well-being every step of the way. When you wake up, your procedure will be complete, giving you a beautiful, healthy smile without the stress or fear that may have held you back from the care you deserve.
