Indianapolis Sedation Dentistry

"There are many people who have neglected having dental work done because they are afraid of the procedures. Now we can help them through sedation dentistry by alleviating their apprehension and accomplishing a lot of dental work in a short period of time."-Dr. Sammons, Indianapolis Sedation Dentistry Expert

Dr. Sammons has been certified to safely and effectively administer sedation dentistry to his Indianapolis patients. Our office uses oral conscious sedation, which involves taking anti-anxiety medication orally before treatment. While taking this medication you will be under the supervision of a team member at all times, ensuring your safety and comfort. Your vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation level will be monitored regularly. We meticulously follow all of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) protocol, makes Indianapolis sedation dentistry very safe for our patients.

Who should consider sedation dentistry?

Anyone who:

• Experiences dental anxiety or apprehension
• Has had a bad dental experience in the past
• Suffers from severe gag reflexes
• Has a hard time getting numb
• Has extensive reconstructive work to be done

The Oral Conscious Sedation Process

Once we make sure you are totally comfortable, we will begin your treatment. You'll go through a phase where you'll start to feel droopy although you're still awake. Because of the deeply relaxing effect of the medication you may even fall asleep. The medication causes an amnesiac effect and you will have no concept of time passing (Our patients often ask "when are we going to start?" at the end of their procedure!) and you will probably remember very little about the procedure itself. For your safety, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.

Sedation dentistry makes oral health and vital dental work possible for those who struggle with dental anxiety. It also makes it much easier on our patients who need extensive dental work done, by being able to get more done in a much shorter period of time. Often, it just takes 2 or 3 appointments to finish their treatment which makes our patients very happy!
