Ready to book your consultation?A sleep dentist, more accurately called a sedation dentist, specializes in providing various forms of sedation during dental procedures. These dentists have additional training and certification in sedation techniques.
Sleep dentists offer different levels of oral conscious sedation, from mild relaxation to deep sedation, depending on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the procedure. They administer this to anxious patients who may be nervous about their next dental appointment to help them feel comfortable and relaxed to reduce dental treatment difficulty.
Despite the term “sleep dentist,” patients typically remain conscious during treatment, even under deeper levels of sedation.
Sedation dentistry, or "sleep dentistry," serves various purposes beyond alleviating anxiety. Patients with medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease, those with sensitive gag reflexes or sensory stimulation, and individuals requiring extensive treatment can benefit from this approach.
Additionally, oral sedation is helpful for those with time constraints, low pain thresholds like very sensitive teeth, or difficulty achieving adequate results from moderate sedation. It’s also valuable for patients with special needs, jaw problems, or those undergoing complex oral surgeries.
Dental benefit providers may not cover our oral sedation; however, we offer it for a nominal cost. Please contact our friendly team. We offer sedation dentistry, and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.
Sedation dentistry is generally safe when performed by trained professionals. Patients are monitored throughout the procedure to ensure their well-being.
By allowing patients to receive necessary dental care without fear, sedation dentistry ultimately contributes to improved oral health and wellness.
Most sedation dentists in Surrey offer oral sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and intravenous (IV) sedation. Different types of sedation are available to help patients stay calm while undergoing dental procedures. The type recommended depends on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the procedure.
Costs vary depending on the type of sedation and the procedure. It's best to consult with the specific dental office for accurate pricing.
Most forms of dental sedation, includnig our sedation services, don't render you fully unconscious. You'll typically be deeply relaxed but still able to respond to the dentist if necessary.
The duration varies depending on the type of sedation used. Effects can last anywhere from a few minutes after the procedure (for nitrous oxide) to several hours (for oral or IV sedation).
For deeper forms of sedation, like oral or IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home. With nitrous oxide, you may be able to drive yourself, but it's often recommended to have a ride just in case, which Cloverdale Dental Centre offers.
