Sedation Options at Anderson Dental
At Anderson Dental, we use sedation dentistry for treatments including tooth extractions (like sedation options for wisdom tooth removal), root canal therapy, and emergency dental care. However, the method of sedation we use depends on the type of treatment, the patient’s health status, and their specific needs. Our options include:
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide produces feelings of relaxation and is delivered through a small mask. This odorless, colorless gas offers dreamlike and light sensations, and the effects dissipate within minutes of discontinued use.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is a pill you take before treatment. With this option, you may not recall most of your appointment, but you will still remain conscious and can respond to simple commands given by your dentist.
Your dentist will take a thorough health history, monitor you closely throughout your treatment, and provide any aftercare instructions following sedation.
Our Expert Caring Team
Dr. Scott Anderson, Dr. John Anderson, and Dr. Cesar Alburez are experts in ensuring your total comfort. They skillfully combine sedation for anxiety relief with effective local anesthetic for pain control ("numbing") to make sure your procedure is both painless and stress-free. They take their time with every patient, working to make you feel at home during any procedure, like a dental extraction in Champaign, IL.
Your Comfort and Safety Are of the Utmost Importance
Everyone on our treatment team strives to create an environment where patients feel safe, welcome, and respected. We want you to feel free to ask any questions about your care, and we always do our best to answer your questions and address your concerns.
