Our Additional Sedation Services
Dental Implants Cape Coral
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is a clear and odorless gas inhaled before and during your procedure. This dental sedation option induces a relaxed, euphoric sensation, the effects of which immediately subside once the gas is no longer inhaled. Nitrous oxide carries no aftereffects, leaving you able to function normally following your treatment.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is ideal for moderate to severe dental anxiety and involves taking a prescription sedative pill one hour before your visit. The effects produce a blissful, calm, and relaxed feeling, leaving you uncaring about your dental procedure. Since oral sedation takes a few hours to wear off, a companion should drive you to and from your appointment.
The Wand® Anesthesia
Dr. Martinez combines local anesthesia with our effective sedation dentistry options. To improve patient comfort, he uses The Wand Anesthesia, a computer-controlled system for numbing tissues and delivering the right amount of anesthetic to individual teeth. With The Wand, you never have to worry about waiting for the collateral numbness of the lips, cheeks, or tongue to wear off.
IV Sedation
Intravenous Sedation, or IV Sedation, is generally used with shorter treatment sessions. The effects are immediate and may cause you to feel as though you slept through the treatment. You may feel groggy when the IV is stopped, but this will fade over the next few hours. Unlike with Nitrous Oxide, if you choose Oral Conscious or IV Sedation, you will need someone to provide your transportation on the day of your procedure. While there are no lingering aftereffects, the sedative effects of these options can take up to 24 hours to fully diminish.
