At Trade Winds Dental, we prioritize patient comfort above all else. We understand that dental anxiety can be a significant barrier to receiving necessary dental care. That’s why Dr. Winegar and our compassionate team offer sedation dentistry to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable during your visits. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, our sedation options ensure you receive the care you need without stress or discomfort.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s sometimes called “sleep dentistry,” although most patients remain awake but deeply relaxed. Sedation can be used for everything from routine cleanings to complex procedures, depending on your needs.
Types of Sedation at Trade Winds Dental
Dr. Winegar and the team at Trade Winds Dental offer several types of sedation to meet the unique needs of our patients in Georgetown, Texas:
- Inhalation Sedation: Also known as laughing gas, this involves inhaling a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen to help you relax without putting you to sleep.
- Oral Sedation: You take a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment, which helps you stay calm and relaxed during the procedure.
- IV Sedation: Administered through an intravenous line, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation, allowing adjustments throughout the procedure.
- General Anesthesia: Used for more extensive dental surgeries, general anesthesia makes you completely unconscious and unable to feel pain.
