WHAT IS SEDATION DENTISTRY

Sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, is an option for those who may experience fear or anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist. It’s a way of providing superior dental care without discomfort or worry. At Lake Olympia Dental, we recognize that everyone is different and has unique concerns regarding their oral health, so we are happy to offer personalized sedation dentistry options that work for you.Sedation dentistry doesn’t necessarily mean you will be put to sleep. It simply means your anxiety and fear can be managed so that the necessary dental procedures can still be completed with ease and comfort. No matter what name you choose to call it, sleep dentistry or sedation dentistry, the end result is a pleasant dental experience. We’re here to listen to your needs and provide you with personalized options that fit your specific concerns.

NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION

We offer nitrous oxide (or “laughing gas”) as a sedation dentistry option. Nitrous oxide is an odorless and colorless gas that helps relax our patients during a dental procedure. It is perfectly safe and can be used for many types of dental treatments, from a routine cleaning to more extensive procedures like fillings or root canals.

The effects of nitrous oxide are mild and short-term, so the patient will remain conscious throughout the procedure while experiencing minimal discomfort. Nitrous oxide works quickly and wears off soon after we stop administering the gas. Nitrous oxide can help reduce anxiety and fear for patients who have dental phobias or general dental anxiety. The effects of this sedative are relaxing, allowing our patient to remain calm and comfortable throughout their procedure. Our Fort Bend dentists take extra measures to ensure that the patient remains safe while under the influence of nitrous oxide during a treatment.

ORAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION NEAR SIENNA

Oral conscious sedation is a form of sedation dentistry which uses medication to help relax and reduce anxiety in dental patients. The medication is taken orally, usually in pill form, and helps the patient feel more relaxed and at ease before their dental procedure. During the treatment, patients will remain conscious but may become drowsy or fall asleep temporarily. Oral conscious sedation is safe and effective, and can help reduce anxiety levels during the procedure while still allowing the patient to respond to verbal commands from the dentist. Drowsiness may linger after sedation, so a ride home should be arranged before treatment begins.

patients have to say

I had such a great experience at this new dental office! Mia was so friendly and handled my X-rays with so much care. She made the whole process quick and comfortable. Dr. Dinh was incredibly thorough and gentle. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt completely comfortable during my visit. Shannon explained the insurance coverage clearly and patiently, making everything so easy to understand.

Dr. Dinh and his staff were amazing and they made the office a very welcoming and safe environment. I came in for a check up and teeth cleaning and was able to get 2 teeth extracted the same day as well.

I was in serious discomfort and needed relief for my pain. Dr. Dinh was extremely professional and diagnosed my problem quickly. The procedure was done with professionalism and was painless. I would recommend Lake Olympia Dental and Dr. Dinh to anyone that's having teeth issues immediately.

Gregory

I decided to visit Lake Olympia Dental because the office is closew to home and I saw all the positive reviews, and I can see why! It was a seamless experience for being a new patient. Dr. Dinh and his staff were very personable, making sure you're at easy and having an enjoyable experience. They know their stuff and know how to make your visit smooth and efficient. The office is brand new, very clean and modern. My first time seeing a TV on the ceiling for patients to watch as you're getting your teeth cleaned. They also give you a warm face towel at the end to help freshen up. I sometimes forgot I was at the dentist.

Jacob

I scheduled an emergency appointment today due to severe tooth pain and was able to be seen the same day. The office staff were very friendly and efficient, and the facility was new and clean. I appreciated how quick, yet thorough, my visit was. Most of all, I'm grateful for their late office hours, which made it possible for me to come in during the evening.
