Unique Sedation Techniques and Patient Comfort Measures

Unlike other practices, James B Polley DDS offers a variety of sedation methods tailored to your specific needs.

Understanding Dental Anxiety and Phobia

Dental anxiety and phobia can manifest in various ways, from sweating and a racing heartbeat to an increased gag reflex and hyperventilation. These symptoms can prevent patients from getting the care they need. With sedation dentistry, we can alleviate these symptoms, allowing you to receive the dental care you deserve without fear.

Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer

James B Polley DDS provides a range of sedation options:

  • Oral Conscious Sedation: A pill taken before your appointment helps you feel deeply relaxed. While you remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, you may feel so calm that you could even fall asleep. The amnesiac effect of the medication means you might not remember the details of your dental procedures, making it perfect for those with moderate anxiety.
  • General Anesthesia: For those with severe anxiety or undergoing complex dental procedures, general anesthesia may be recommended. Under general anesthesia, you are completely unconscious and will not recall any part of the treatment, ensuring a pain-free experience.

Depending on the type of sedation, you may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the procedure. For oral sedation, you should arrange transportation home, as you may feel drowsy afterward.
Oral sedation may cause drowsiness, nausea, or dizziness. General anesthesia can lead to grogginess after waking up, but rest assured, we closely monitor you during the procedure to minimize risks.
For oral sedation, the effects typically wear off in a few hours. For general anesthesia, it may take several hours to fully recover, and you will need someone to drive you home.
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures, or individuals who have a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still for extended periods.
During sedation, you will be carefully monitored to ensure your comfort and safety. Depending on the sedation used, you may feel relaxed or unconscious, but you will remain in a safe and controlled environment throughout the procedure.
While sedation is typically used for more complex procedures, it can also be beneficial for patients who experience anxiety during routine visits or for those who have difficulty sitting still for extended periods.
If you prefer not to use sedation, local anesthesia is an option. We also offer other techniques to help manage discomfort and anxiety during dental procedures.
The cost of sedation depends on the type of sedation used and the procedure being performed. We will provide you with an estimate after evaluating your treatment needs.
