Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
Too many people avoid going to the dentist because of dental fear or anxiety, but we’ve set out to change that with sedation dentistry. Whether it’s a necessary restorative treatment or an elective cosmetic procedure, we provide a comfortable, anxiety-free experience.
Nobody likes feeling discomfort; we can all agree on that, and sedation dentistry removes any pain during treatment. With multiple options available, the pain relief ranges from preventing mild sensitivity during a cleaning to preventing any pain during an extraction or root canal.
Feelings of anxiety or discomfort make most people uneasy, on edge, and even squirmy. With sedation dentistry creating a deep state of relaxation, our dentist can work better and faster with fewer interruptions. The result is a better experience for both the dentist and the patient.

Nitrous oxide sedation is more commonly known as laughing gas. It’s administered through inhalation and easily controlled by the dentist. While it’s a light form of sedation, it offers relief from anxiety. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so patients can drive to and from the appointment.
Oral conscious sedation is administered by mouth (orally) and is typically taken before the procedure. This is a deeper form of sedation and makes patients feel drowsy, but they can be easily woken up if they fall asleep. With oral sedation, patients need an escort to drive them home.
IV (intravenous) sedation is administered into the vein through the arm or hand for more extensive dental procedures or dental anxiety. While patients are awake, they feel no pain or discomfort, and require an escort post-treatment. Not many general dentists offer it, but Dr. Satterlee is licensed in IV sedation to give an added benefit to his patients.
