Comfortable Treatment for a Worry-Free Experience
Dental anxiety is common, and if you feel nervous about treatment, you're not alone. At Red Rock Dental, we offer safe and effective sedation options to ensure a calm, pain-free experience so you can get the care you need without fear or discomfort.
Why Choose Sedation?
If dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or past negative experiences have made you hesitant to seek treatment, sedation can help. With the right sedation option, you can feel completely at ease during your procedure.
Benefits of sedation dentistry:
-
Reduces anxiety and stress
-
Minimizes pain and discomfort
-
Makes longer procedures feel shorter
-
Helps patients with sensitive gag reflexes or fear of needles
Our team will help you choose the best sedation option based on your needs and level of anxiety.
Nitrous Oxide
Nervous about treatment, but want to avoid being deeply sedated? With nitrous oxide, you’ll experience a floaty, worry-free feeling that won’t leave you with side effects. Right after treatment, you can drive yourself home and get back to your day-to-day routine.
The Sedation Treatment Process
HEALTH & TREATMENT EVALUATION
First, your dentist will review your treatment plan to determine if sedation is a good option for your procedure. Your dentist will then discuss your past health history and any current health problems that may affect your ability to be sedated with your chosen method.
ADDRESS NEEDS & CONCERNS
We will then ask questions to determine your particular needs and concerns. How deeply do you wish to be sedated? What is making you anxious about your procedure? Do you have a low pain threshold? An honest conversation with your dentist will determine which sedation options will be appropriate for you.
DISCUSSING YOUR OPTIONS
Next, your dentist will outline your available sedation options and describe all side effects and instructions. With their recommendation and your input, we can help you choose the right option for your procedure.
