Corinthia Dental understands that for many people, the anxiety and stress associated with visiting the dentist can often lead to complete avoidance of essential dental care. Our top priority is your overall comfort and peace of mind during each visit, which is why we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry! Sedation dentistry options help ease stress and anxieties, increase comfort levels and promote overall relaxation during visits to the dentist. If you are anxious or stressed about visiting the dentist, Corinthia Dental looks forward to offering you sedation dentistry options to help minimize stress and anxiety, and ensure that you receive the dental care you require with the utmost comfort and ease.
Sedation Dentistry provides anxious patients with a relaxed and comfortable experience. Using safe and controlled sedatives to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures, sedation dentistry allows patients who might otherwise avoid the dentist to receive necessary dental care. Sedation dentistry is particularly beneficial for anxious patients, patients with dental phobias, patients with a strong gag reflex or those with a low pain threshold. By lessening discomfort and anxiety, sedation dentistry allows for more effective and efficient oral treatment, leading to a more positive experience from beginning to end. Corinthia Dental is dedicated to your overall well-being and comfort, and strives to make your visit as painless and pleasant as possible.
Nitrous oxide, often referred to as laughing gas, offers light to moderate sedation to help keep you comfortable during dental procedures. A combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen, this colourless and faintly sweet-smelling gas is inhaled through a small nose piece that is worn over the face. You simply breath normally and inhale the nitrous oxide to help you feel more relaxed and at ease. The effects are temporary, and patients are generally able to resume their normal daily activities immediately following treatment. As such, this makes this form of sedation an effective and convenient option for minimizing stress and anxiety while helping to ensure a comfortable and smooth dental experience. Corinthia Dental looks forward to seeing you soon and helping you on the road to optimal oral health and wellness.
Oral sedation offers light to moderate sedation to help patients relax during dental visits by dulling the senses without putting you to sleep. It involves taking one to two prescribed pills containing a sedative medication prior to a dental visit or procedure. The sedative induces a positive sense of calm, relaxation and drowsiness. You will remain awake and still able to communicate, but if you doze off you will easily be able to awaken. Oral sedation is easy to administer, safe and non-invasive. Sometimes an additional dose will be taken the night before a procedure to help with anxiety-related insomnia, provided it is recommended and approved by your dentist. Corinthia Dental looks forward to seeing you soon and helping you on the road to optimal oral health and wellness.
Sedation Dentistry can offer an effective solution for anxious and nervous patients so they can receive the oral care they require, without the stress often attached to dental visits.
