When Fear Gets in the Way of Care
For some patients, it isn’t the procedure itself that’s the hardest part—it’s the anxiety leading up to it. Maybe you’ve had a difficult dental experience in the past, or maybe the thought of sitting in the chair leaves you feeling tense before treatment even begins. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we understand how overwhelming dental anxiety can feel. That’s why we offer safe and effective sedation options. With sedation dentistry, you can finally get the care you need—without the fear, stress, or discomfort that may have kept you from visiting in the past.
What Sedation Can Do for You
Sedation is about more than comfort. It’s about peace of mind. Patients who choose sedation often tell us:
“I barely remember the procedure.”
“I felt calm from start to finish.”
“I finally got through treatment I had been putting off for years.”
Whether you need a simple procedure or a more complex surgery, sedation makes it possible to move forward with confidence.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is a gentle option for patients who want to remain awake but deeply relaxed during treatment. Here’s how it works:
You’ll take a small pill before your appointment
Within minutes, feelings of anxiety begin to fade
You remain awake, able to respond to questions or instructions, but in a state of calm
Many patients have little or no memory of the procedure afterward
This option is ideal for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety, or for those who want a more relaxed experience during longer appointments.
IV Deep Sedation
For patients with significant anxiety, phobia, or those undergoing more advanced procedures, IV deep sedation may be recommended. With this method:
Medication is delivered directly into your bloodstream, creating a sleep-like state
You’ll be unaware of the procedure while remaining closely monitored by an experienced anesthesiologist
Vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure are continuously checked for your safety
Local anesthesia is still used in the treatment area to ensure a pain-free experience
Patients who choose IV sedation often say it felt like only moments had passed before their procedure was complete.
Choosing the Right Option
Every patient’s comfort level is different. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, treatment plan, and personal concerns to determine whether oral sedation, IV sedation, or no sedation at all is best for you. Our goal is always the same: to make sure you feel safe, calm, and supported.
