Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry in Scottsdale, AZ

At Toothology, we understand that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. That's why we're proud to offer sedation dentistry services in Scottsdale, AZ. Our experienced dentist, Dr. Aaron Jeziorski, is dedicated to providing comfortable and stress-free dental care for all our patients.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It's an excellent solution for those who experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist. With sedation, you can receive the dental care you need while feeling calm and at ease.

Reasons for Sedation Dentistry

There are several reasons why you might consider sedation dentistry:

Dental anxiety or phobia

Sensitive gag reflex

Low pain threshold

Complex or lengthy dental procedures

Our sedation options include IV or oral sedation to meet your specific requirements

Previous traumatic dental experiences

Sedation dentistry can make your dental visit more comfortable and less stressful, allowing you to maintain good oral health without fear or anxiety.

Types of Sedation

At Toothology, we offer different types of sedation to suit your individual needs:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

  • Mild sedative inhaled through a mask
  • Effects wear off quickly after the procedure
  • You can drive yourself home afterward

Oral Sedation

  • Taken in pill form before the procedure
  • Produces a moderate level of sedation
  • You'll need someone to drive you home

IV Sedation

  • Administered directly into the bloodstream
  • Provides a deep level of sedation
  • Requires a ride home and post-procedure monitoring

Dr. Jeziorski will discuss your medical history and preferences to determine the most appropriate type of sedation for you.

IV Sedation vs Oral Sedation

While both IV and oral sedation can effectively manage dental anxiety, they have some key differences:

IV Sedation

  • Faster onset of action
  • More precise control over sedation level
  • Can be adjusted during the procedure
  • Typically used for more complex procedures

Oral Sedation

  • No needles required
  • Can be taken at home before the appointment
  • Generally less expensive than IV sedation
  • Suitable for mild to moderate anxiety

Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Dr. Jeziorski will help you choose the best sedation option based on your individual needs and the planned dental work.

Sedation Dentistry FAQ

At Toothology, we offer different types of sedation to suit your individual needs:

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, when administered by a trained professional like Dr. Jeziorski, sedation dentistry is very safe. We monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your well-being.

Will I be completely unconscious?

Most forms of dental sedation don't render you unconscious. You'll be in a deeply relaxed state but still able to respond to simple commands.

How long does the sedation last?

The duration varies depending on the type of sedation used. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral and IV sedation effects can last for several hours.

Can I eat before my appointment?

For some types of sedation, you may need to fast for a certain period before your appointment. We'll provide specific instructions when you schedule your visit.

Will I remember the procedure?

With deeper forms of sedation, you may have little to no memory of the procedure, which many patients find preferable.
