What Are the Benefits of Sedation Dentistry?

Our Dental Implant Options

General Anesthesia

General anesthesia is a sedation dentistry option that uses medication to render you completely unconscious and unresponsive during your dental procedure. Administered intravenously, this sedation dentistry option ensures a deep level of relaxation throughout the treatment.

While under general anesthesia, Dr. Santin and our team carefully monitor your vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing, to maintain your safety. This approach helps minimize pain and discomfort, making your dental procedure more comfortable.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is a technique used to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. It involves administering sedative medications directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line, allowing for more precise control over the level of sedation. This method provides a deeper level of relaxation than oral sedatives, helping patients remain calm, relaxed, and sometimes even unaware of the procedure being performed.

While you remain conscious, you may feel drowsy or fall into a light sleep and typically experience little to no memory of the procedure. IV sedation is commonly used for more invasive or lengthy treatments and is often accompanied by local anesthesia to ensure pain-free care. Dr. Santin will closely monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure safety and comfort.

How Dental Phobia Can Negatively Affect Your Oral Health

Untreated dental issues can lead to serious systemic health problems, affecting your overall well-being. Conditions like gum disease and tooth decay, when left unaddressed, can cause infections, chronic inflammation, and tooth loss and are often linked to serious health concerns like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.

At Akron Area Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Center, we offer general anesthesia and IV sedation options for dental implant procedures and complex oral surgery treatments, helping you comfortably address these concerns. This allows Dr. Santin to perform necessary treatments effectively, reducing the risk of complications and preventing further health issues associated with untreated dental problems.
