We understand that many seniors in Scottsdale experience dental anxiety, especially when considering a procedure like All-on-4 implants. Our practice is committed to providing a comfortable, stress-free experience through our comprehensive sedation dentistry options.
Dental anxiety should never prevent you from receiving the care you need. Our sedation options are specifically tailored to help anxious patients relax during their All-on-4 procedure, ensuring a positive experience from start to finish.
This mild sedative is inhaled through a comfortable nose mask, producing a relaxed, euphoric feeling while maintaining full consciousness. Effects wear off quickly after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home afterward. Ideal for patients with mild anxiety.
Taken in pill form before your appointment, this medication produces a deeper state of relaxation while remaining conscious. You'll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. Many patients have little to no memory of their procedure afterward, making it excellent for moderate anxiety.
Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation creates a deep state of relaxation while maintaining consciousness. This "twilight sleep" state means you'll have little to no memory of your procedure. Our Scottsdale practice monitors your vital signs throughout treatment for maximum safety. Ideal for severe anxiety or longer procedures like All-on-4 implant placement.
For patients with extreme anxiety or complex medical needs, we offer general anesthesia administered by a certified anesthesiologist. You'll be completely unconscious during your procedure and have no memory of the treatment. This option provides maximum comfort for the most anxious patients.
Safety is our top priority at our Scottsdale 85251 practice. Before recommending any sedation option, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history and may consult with your physician if necessary. Our team is highly trained in sedation protocols and emergency procedures, and we use advanced monitoring equipment throughout your treatment.
Many seniors with health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease can still safely receive sedation dentistry. We'll work closely with you to determine the safest, most appropriate option for your specific needs.
Our Scottsdale patients frequently tell us that sedation dentistry made their All-on-4 experience much more pleasant than they expected. Many express regret at not seeking treatment sooner due to anxiety. With our compassionate approach and sedation options, you can receive the dental care you need without stress or discomfort.
