SEDATION DENTISTRY
Dental Anxiety is Real
If you’re experiencing a little (or a lot) of anxiety about your dental appointment, we understand and we hope that the following can put your mind at ease:
First, patient anxiety is totally normal! Many people of all ages experience it. So rest assured that you aren’t alone and it’s not weird.
Second, it is very important to us that the office environment is a positive and calm one – for both patients and staff. With Dr. Favre’s reassuring nature, he fosters a supportive atmosphere where patients are encouraged to share any fears they may have. Understanding your concerns will help us ensure that you are comfortable throughout your entire visit. Whether you express worries or not though, Dr. Favre and your hygiene team always makes it a priority to provide the gentlest care possible.
Sometimes a simple conversation with us can calm your fears. In other cases, sedation is used to help you relax. No matter what route makes the most sense to you, we’re here to ensure your appointment is a positive experience.
Sedation Dentistry Options
Dr. Favre is certified in Moderate IV sedation through his residency at the NYU-sponsored Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Postdoctoral Program at the Foundry Recovery Center in Bessemer, AL. In this clinical setting, he trained in providing sedation dentistry to challenging patients. This experience reinforced his belief that the best care is provided when patients feel calm and relaxed.
We offer a variety of sedation options.
IV SEDATION
For those seeking a moderate to high level of sedation, we offer intravenous (IV) sedation as a safe and effective option, which includes a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) in the office to assist. This method allows you to enter a deep, sleep-like state, ensuring that you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout your procedure. With IV sedation, you can rest easy knowing that you will have little to no memory of the treatment, making it an ideal choice for those who may feel anxious or apprehensive about dental visits.
ORAL SEDATION
For those experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, we provide a convenient solution through the prescription of an anti-anxiety pill. This medication is designed to be taken before your appointment, allowing you to arrive feeling calm and relaxed, ready to receive the care you deserve.
NITROUS OXIDE
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, offers a gentle and effective way to achieve a mild to moderate level of sedation during your dental procedures. This safe and reliable option ensures that you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout your treatment, with effects that dissipate quickly, allowing you to return to your daily activities shortly after.
PEACE &
HARMONY
Our team is devoted to making sure that you are calm and comfortable during your appointment.
