Sedation Dentistry - Dentist Dr. Brad Sammons DDS, Indianapolis & Greenwood Indiana

"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 Dentist

Dr. Sammons has been certified to safely and effectively administer sedation dentistry to his patients. Our Indianapolis dental 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. Following meticulously all of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) protocol makes this a very safe procedure 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 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 it possible for those who struggle with dental anxiety to get needed treatment. 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!

Sedation dentistry will make your dental treatment painless, quick and comfortable. Call for a consultation with Indianapolis dentist, Dr. Sammons, and learn more about how this treatment option can change your life!
