Our sedation dentistry services in Palm Desert include:
Laughing Gas Sedation
Laughing gas is a mild sedative delivered through a comfortable breathing mask and is administered throughout your entire dental treatment. Laughing gas helps to promote a sense of calm and relaxation to relieve pain and anxiety during your dental procedure. With effects that subside by the end of your appointment, laughing gas is an easy, trusted form of gentle sedation dentistry!
IV Sedation
Intravenous (IV) sedation is a moderate type of sedation offered at Desert Dental Spa. Patients who have previously experienced IV sedation often report feeling like they slept through the entire procedure. IV sedation is administered direct injection into the bloodstream, which means the effects are immediate. Because of the grogginess associated with IV sedation dentistry, patients will need to schedule a ride home from their appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation involves a medication prescribed in pill form and taken prior to the dental treatment. Producing a mild sedative effect, oral conscious sedation is used to reduce anxiety and minimize feelings of pain and discomfort. Patients will remain awake, calm and able to follow instructions throughout their treatment. Our dentist will provide an assessment prior to your dental appointment to help determine ideal sedation medication for you!
Why Choose Sedation Dentistry?
A significant number of Americans do not visit the dentist for regular checkups because they are too fearful or suffer from dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry offers an excellent way to provide a safe, anxiety-free, dental experience to those who experience dental fear and anxiety. At Desert Dental Spa, we offer sedation dentistry to help patients alleviate anxiety and pain, while helping to ensure their treatments are performed quickly and comfortably.
We also work with a skilled anesthesiologist to ensure sedation is provided with the utmost precision and expertise!
