At Manassra Dental, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent you from receiving the care your smile deserves. That’s why we offer different levels of sedation dentistry options to help you relax, stay comfortable, and handle even complex treatments easily. Led by Dr. Ahmed Manassra, our team specializes in providing safe and effective sedation tailored to your needs, making your dental experience calm and stress-free.
Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is a safe and popular type of minimal sedation dentistry used in dentistry. Administered through a small mask placed over your nose, this odorless gas induces a state of relaxation without putting you to sleep.
Patients with mild anxiety, children, and those undergoing routine or short dental procedures.
Nitrous oxide works quickly and wears off immediately after removing the mask, keeping patients fully conscious and responsive.
You feel calm, less sensitive to discomfort, and may laugh or smile during treatment.
Because patients recover quickly, you can safely drive yourself home after your appointment, making nitrous oxide a convenient type of sedation choice for many.
Oral sedation uses medicine taken about an hour before your dental appointments to help you relax. You stay awake and can follow instructions, but it reduces anxiety and may make you feel sleepy or forget parts of the procedure.
Oral sedation bridges the gap between minimal and deep sedation, providing effective anxiety control while maintaining patient cooperation when visiting the dentist.
Intravenous (IV) sedation delivers sedative medications directly into your bloodstream, allowing for rapid onset and adjustable sedation levels during your treatment. IV sedation induces a deep relaxed state, where many patients feel semi-conscious or asleep, though you may still respond to verbal cues during the dental procedure.
IV sedation requires monitoring by trained professionals at the dental office and a responsible driver because of sedation effects after the appointment.
Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication prior to your visit. It produces a deeper sense of relaxation and may cause drowsiness, though you will remain awake and able to respond.
IV sedation provides a stronger level of sedation, administered directly into the bloodstream. With IV sedation, you are in a sleep-like state, with little to no memory of the procedure.
Dr. Manassra will carefully discuss each option with you so you can make an informed decision about your comfort.
