Relax and receive the care you need with gentle sedation at North Atlanta Family Dentistry! Dental anxiety should never stand in the way of a healthy smile. Our Johns Creek dental team offers sedation dentistry to make your visits calm, comfortable, and stress-free. Whether you have a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty sitting for long procedures, or general dental fear, our team tailors sedation to your comfort level. From light relaxation to deeper sedation, we ensure that your dental experience is as serene as it is effective.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a safe, gentle option for our patients with mild to moderate anxiety. Administered through a small nasal mask, this colorless, odorless gas induces calm within minutes while keeping you fully awake and able to communicate. Once the procedure is complete, the effects wear off almost immediately, allowing you to drive or return to work safely.
Conscious Oral Sedation
For more significant anxiety, oral conscious sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. Taken as a prescribed pill before your appointment, it helps you feel drowsy and calm, often leaving little to no memory of the procedure afterward. You remain responsive during treatment, but a trusted companion will likely be needed for transportation due to the medication’s lasting effects.
IV Sedation
For patients who experience significant dental anxiety, require extensive treatment, or simply want the most relaxed experience possible, IV sedation is available upon request at North Atlanta Family Dentistry.
We bring in a licensed dental anesthesiologist for select patients to ensure safe, comfortable, and closely monitored sedation throughout your procedure. This allows you to receive complex dental care, including oral surgery, implant placement, or multiple restorations, in a calm, stress-free environment.
Top benefits of IV sedation include:
- Deep relaxation and reduced anxiety
- Safe, professionally monitored sedation by a licensed anesthesiologist
- Ability to complete multiple treatments in a single visit
- Minimal memory of the procedure, making your experience comfortable and stress-free
Whether you’re nervous about dental visits or facing a complex procedure, IV sedation allows us to provide our patients with enhanced comfort and peace of mind, while maintaining the highest safety standards.
