Sedation Dentistry in Colorado Springs, CO
What Are the Benefits of Sedation?

Some deeper levels of sedation also induce deep sleep, which can be used during long surgical procedures.

What Can I Expect During Sedation?
Before your procedure begins, your Dentist in Colorado Springs CO will administer your sedative. We will also answer any questions you might have.
The sedative will make you drowsy, but you’ll still be able to respond to the dentist’s questions and commands.
Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?
Yes, when administered by an experienced dentist. While sedation dentistry is safe, it may not be right for everyone, and there are some precautions that need to be taken. Sedation dentistry uses medications to help patients relax during dental procedures.
The medications are safe, but they do come with certain risks. Patients who are taking certain medications, for example, may not be able to receive sedation during their dental procedure. To avoid complications, patients should talk to their dentist about their medical history before getting sedated.
Is Sedation Dentistry Right for Me?
For many people, going to the dentist can be a stressful experience. If you have a dental phobia, you may avoid going to the dentist altogether. This can lead to a variety of problems, including tooth decay and gum disease.
Fortunately, sedation dentistry can help. By using sedation dentistry, you’ll be able to get the treatment you need without experiencing any pain or discomfort. You’ll be able to relax during your appointment, and the sights, sounds, and sensations of your dentist’s office won’t bother you.
