At Advanced Dentistry of Spring, we aim to ease your dental anxiety. We offer comfortable treatment rooms with televisions available for entertaining distractions during treatment. We also use efficient technology like rotary endodontics and work diligently to deliver painless injections. But even with those efforts, some patients are naturally apprehensive, and we get it.
So, if you're affected by dental anxiety, we provide several options that may assist you.
For many people in Spring, TX, a light sedation option is ideal. For this, we offer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. We administer this odorless gas through a comfortable mask that fits over your nose. First, you inhale a mixture of this gas and oxygen to induce a calming feeling which many describe as a state of peace. This sensation mutes any discomfort from treatments, but you will remain somewhat lucid. Then, your treatment is complete. Next, our team administers pure oxygen through your mask, dissipating the nitrous effects within a few minutes.
The great thing about this option is that it's safe with few side effects. Most people can drive; many even return to their daily routine after treatment.
Intravenous or IV sedation ensures a dental visit with no pain or nervousness. We call this method "twilight" sedation, and you will not be alert, nor will you remember your visit. In fact, this option enables us to complete a large amount of treatment in a single visit.
We work with a board-certified anesthesiologist to provide IV sedation who comes to our office. This is more convenient because you can receive your care in our location. This also allows our team to use our extensive technology and skills combined with complete sedation to provide comprehensive care under one roof.
