Sedation Dentistry Maui
Relaxed, Worry-Free Dental Care
Island Dental offers sedation-assisted dental care treatments that transform stressful visits into calming, anxiety-free & safe experiences. If you're anxious about dental care or need multiple procedures done simultaneously, our advanced sedation options help you feel comfortable and relaxed, ensuring a pain-free and seamless dental experience.
What is a
Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. This is especially helpful for individuals with severe dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, or those needing extensive treatments. Through sedation, patients can undergo full or partial mouth rehabilitation in a relaxed, comfortable state, often with little or no memory of the procedure. At Island Dental, we offer safe alternatives to needles or gas, ensuring your experience is as pleasant and stress-free as possible.
Who Can Benefit
from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry allows you to receive comprehensive care, often completing treatments that would normally require several visits in just one, all while feeling completely at ease. It is ideal for patients who experience:
- Dental phobia or anxiety.
- Sensitive teeth or gag reflex.
- The need for multiple or complex dental treatments.
- Embarrassment about their smile.
- Fear of needles or previous bad dental experiences.
What to Expect During
Sedation Dentistry at Island Dental?
We ensure a smooth and safe experience for every sedation-assisted procedure. Here's what to expect:
- Sedation-Assisted Procedures: For patients with disabilities or phobias, we offer full or partial mouth rehabilitation while pleasantly and safely sedated.
- Pre-Procedure Preparation: After obtaining a signed consent form and authorization from your physician, you'll take a small pill before your appointment to initiate relaxation.
- Comfortable, Stress-Free Treatment: Once sedated, our team will begin your procedure, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout.
- Skilled Care: Our experienced staff stays with you from start to finish, utilizing advanced technology to ensure both your safety and comfort.
Aftercare Tips for
a Smooth Recovery
To ensure a comfortable recovery following your sedation dentistry procedure, follow these guidelines:
- Rest and Relax: Plan to take it easy for the rest of the day after your procedure. Have a Driver: Since sedation can leave you feeling drowsy, you'll need someone to drive you to and from the appointment.
- Mind Your Diet: Stick to soft, easy-to-eat foods after the procedure, avoiding anything too hot or crunchy.
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Continue your regular brushing and flossing routine, but be gentle around the extraction area.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, but steer clear of using straws to prevent any complications from the sedation.
Our team is always available for any post-procedure questions or concerns, ensuring your recovery is as smooth as possible.
