Sedation Dentistry
For patients with severe dental anxiety, Dr. Dall’Olmo offers sedation dentistry options. Sedation methods will be chosen based on our patient’s needs and medical history. Our patient’s safety is our top priority and all sedation dentistry methods will be closely monitored and controlled by a trained professional.
Sedation Dentistry Methods
- Oral Conscious Sedation: This form of sedation is taken in pill form. Some patients may take the pill several hours prior to treatment and will need a ride to and from treatment. Patients remain awake, but completely relaxed during treatment.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A breathable gas, nitrous oxide takes effect immediately after inhalation. Patients remain awake and alert during treatment but will have little to no memory of the procedure.
- IV Sedation: Dr. Dall’Olmo is IV sedation certified and offers sedation dentistry for patients who are undergoing advanced restorative dental procedures. IV sedation will allow the patient to sleep peacefully during their treatment. IV Sedation can be controlled and will be closely monitored during treatment.
