At Sunnyvale Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe that your dental appointments should never be scary or stressful. If you suffer from mild to severe dental anxiety, our compassionate team can offer safe sedation dentistry to help ease your anxiety and provide a more comfortable dental experience. If you or your child has special healthcare needs that make it difficult or uncomfortable to sit through treatment, sedation dentistry could be the ideal solution.
Sunnyvale Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is proud to offer top sedation dentistry services in Sunnyvale, CA, with a team that prioritizes your complete health at every visit. During your consultation, our doctor will take time to review your health history and take note of any of your potential concerns. From there, she will design a safe treatment plan that's just as relaxing as you need it to be!
We offer the following sedation dentistry services:
Laughing Gas
Used in the field of dentistry for centuries, laughing gas is a dependable sedation medication known to be safe for patients of all ages.
Just before your procedure, we will place a comfortable nasal hood over your nose, which will emit a steady stream of the laughing gas. The nasal hood will stay on for the duration of your treatment, ensuring you get just the right amount of medicine to produce a calming effect. Once your treatment is complete, you should be feeling completely back to normal within minutes!
At Sunnyvale Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we can add laughing gas to any of our dental services, from simple dental cleanings to gentle root canal therapy.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is a medicinal therapy prescribed to patients with severe dental anxiety, those undergoing long procedures, or those with special healthcare needs.
Before your appointment, Dr. Sudeep will prescribe just the right level of dosage you need. You will be instructed to take the medicine before your appointment so that you will be completely relaxed by the time treatment starts. Although results do vary, some patients feel so calm after this medicine that they fall asleep in the dental chair!
Please note that if you take oral conscious sedation, a trusted caregiver must drive you to and from your appointment. The effects of this medication will take hours to fully wear off.
