Make Dental Anxiety
A Thing of the Past

Tailored Sedation Dentistry
to Ease Comfort

Many individuals are paralyzed by fear and anxiety when it comes to receiving dental treatment, which can deter them from addressing their dental health issues. At Implant Center of Montana, we recognize dental anxiety’s profound impact on seeking care. That’s why we offer the invaluable solution of sedation dentistry, a technique involving medication to induce relaxation during dental procedures.

Dental anesthesia, a commonly used approach, is administered as a local sedative and is well-known to most patients. Our skilled team are experts in sedation dentistry, enabling us to tailor the level of dental anesthesia to match your unique anxiety levels. If dental fear or anxiety has been a barrier to your much-needed treatment, don’t hesitate to discuss our range of sedation dentistry options with us.

The IV Sedation
Process is Simple

Conscious IV sedation dentistry is a form of dental anesthesia requiring medication administration through an IV. Many patients prefer this form of dental anesthesia because they feel like they are in a dream state but remain awake. However, it is not uncommon for patients to be so relaxed they fall asleep, which is why it is often considered for sleep dentistry.

This form of sedation dentistry is for more complex dental implant surgery or wisdom teeth removal. We understand patients may fear or be anxious when arriving for dental procedures. We can offer you a convenient solution that will leave you feeling relaxed and stress-free. It’s important to tackle your oral health issues before they grow into larger ones. Don’t postpone dental care another day!

Benefits of
IV Sedation

  • A deeper level of sedation than nitrous oxide and oral sedation
  • Provides relief for patients with moderate to severe anxiety
  • Effects felt within a few seconds
  • Faster recovery than oral sedation
  • Customized depth of sedation for each patient
  • Induces a state of amnesia, so patients do not remember the procedure

From Fear to Decay – How Dental
Fear Can Cost More in the Long Run

Delaying dental treatment due to fear can negatively affect one’s oral health. The fear of dental procedures often leads to avoidance, causing dental issues to worsen over time. Conditions such as cavities, gum disease, and dental infections can progress, resulting in more extensive and costly treatments when they are finally addressed. Untreated dental problems may cause chronic pain and discomfort and affect overall well-being.

By avoiding routine dental check-ups, patients miss out on preventive care that could have identified and addressed issues early, potentially saving them from more invasive and uncomfortable treatments in the long run. Overcoming dental anxiety and seeking timely dental care are crucial for maintaining good oral health and preventing the escalation of dental problems. With sedation dentistry, Implant Center of Montana is making it easier than ever to receive the care you need when you need it!
