2 Types of Sedation Dentistry in Manhattan, NYC

At Parsons Smile Center, we offer two types of sedation dentistry: oral conscious and intravenous (IV). We discuss your level of anxiety, length of treatment or procedure, health history, and personal preferences to identify the best option for you.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation allows patients to stay awake during their treatments but helps them stay relaxed and calm for a peaceful, painless procedure. With this method of sedation dentistry, we will find an anti-anxiety medication that works for you. You will take this pill shortly before your appointment. While most patients do not fall asleep with this sedation method, they may feel like they are waking up after their treatment. This type of sedation dentistry can be used if you are getting a gum disease treatment, a tooth colored filling, a dental crown, or cosmetic dental procedure.

IV Sedation

For those with more severe dental anxiety or patients undergoing longer procedures, IV sedation may be the best option. This type of sedation involves administering the medication intravenously, resulting in a dreamlike state. Patients who receive this type of sedation can breathe on their own but may feel like they have taken a nap after the procedure is completed. We monitor vitals closely for a safe, tranquil treatment.

4 Reasons You May Need Sedation Dentistry

If you feel nervous about seeing a dentist, have pain that makes receiving treatment difficult, or have difficulty relaxing at a dental office, we may consider using sedation dentistry to help you receive the care you need to restore your smile. We are well-trained in administering oral conscious and IV sedation, so you can trust to provide the careful attention you need to feel relaxed and have a safe, comfortable experience.

Furthermore, these services offer the following benefits:

  • Ease fear and anxiety: Are you avoiding needed dental work due to anxiety? Our safe anesthesia and sedation techniques will make your appointment painless.
  • Effective numbing: Does local anesthesia fail to give you the comfort you need? Sedation dentistry may be an effective option for a painless procedure.
  • Extensive treatment needs: If you need complex treatment or multiple procedures, IV sedation can allow you to get more done in one sitting.
  • Soothe sensitive gag reflex: Some patients have an overactive gag reflex that renders them unable to receive dental work while wide awake. If this is the case for you, IV sedation can help calm these reflexes so you can receive the treatment you need.

At Parsons Smile Center, we are committed to offering you the best of the best to ensure you receive the dental services you need and deserve.
