At Reflections Family Dental, our team offers a few different types of sedation dentistry. We want you to be comfortable during each visit, so we strive to offer patients dental care in a practice that is welcoming, comfortable, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
We know that, despite our best efforts, some patients are not able to overcome dental fear, anxiety, or sensitivity without a little extra help. This is why we offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation at our practice. In addition to helping patients with dental phobia, sedation dentistry is beneficial for patients who have sensitive teeth, gums or gag reflex and those who need multiple or complex procedures.
After consulting with Dr. Kershner, you may choose one or a combination of these safe and effective options.
WHY CHOOSE REFLECTIONS FAMILY DENTAL FOR SEDATION DENTISTRY?
NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION
Nitrous oxide sedation – inhaled through a small nose mask during treatment, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) delivers a mild level of sedation. Because the dosage can be adjusted during your treatment, you’re sure to achieve the optimal level of comfort and relaxation. Additionally, the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly, so patients are able to resume daily activities directly following treatment.
ORAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION
Oral conscious sedation – a preferred sedation method for patients who have moderate to severe anxiety is oral conscious sedation. Dr. Kershner will prescribe a sedative for you to take at a predetermined time prior to treatment. Due to the long-lasting effects of sedative medications, patients should have a trusted friend or loved one drive them to and from the office. During treatment, as the name suggests, patients remain awake, but enter a dream-like state of deep relaxation.
INSURANCE & FINANCING
Please call to verify if we are a provider for your dental insurance plan.
Patients are responsible for the difference between the covered insurance benefit and the cost of the procedure.
Payment is due at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been made.
