Pain-Free Dentistry

The Sedation Dental Care Standard
Introducing the Sedation Dental Care Standard: A Revolutionary Approach to Comfortable Dentistry.
The standard of treating patients using sedation was set by physicians in the U.S. approximately 40 years ago. It is nothing new for patients to be sedated for operations on knees, feet, wrists, ears, noses, or practically anything else. Even patients who need an MRI and are nervous, ask to be sedated. Often patients ask dentists for sedation and the dentists do everything they can to talk them out of it. Most dentists do not want to go through the additional training and accreditation process that is necessary to sedate patients.
You wouldn’t think of having an ear operation or a nose operation without sedation. But, you move one inch to the teeth and it becomes acceptable to endure time-consuming, strenuous, noisy, and uncomfortable procedures on the most sensitive, personal part of the body

(the mouth) with no sedation. Dentists attempt to work outside of the already established standard of using sedation. As a result, we as dentists treat only 50% of the population while physicians treat over 90%.

Say Goodbye to Dental Anxiety
Ease dental worries with innovative solutions. Embrace a stress-free experience and welcome dental care without anxiety.
Research shows that fearful patients are psychologically at ease with sedation during dental procedures. Imagine this scenario: You present a nervous patient with two options – undergo treatment in multiple appointments over months or complete it in a single session while feeling like you’re sleeping. The choice is clear. “Sedate me,” they say. And we’re here to fulfill that request.
Sedation in dentistry has been a trusted practice for over three decades. Ask a hundred individuals who’ve had their wisdom teeth extracted, and most will recount being comfortably asleep during the procedure. Yet, many dentists overlook the potential discomfort of certain treatments, leading to apprehension and avoidance of dental care. At Comfort Dental Care, we believe it’s the patient’s prerogative to decide what’s comfortable for them.

Your Comfort, Our Priority
We offer various types of sedation to cater to individual needs:
Nitrous Oxide
Dental x-rays provide us with two-dimensional representations of the structures of the mouth. With our Pro Max 3-D, we are able to visualize the structures of the jaw in three dimensions. This allows us to accurately determine the volume of bone available for the placement of dental implants. We are able to assess the proximity of anatomic structures to proposed implant sites and identify pathology, increasing the predictability of the procedures. All this is accomplished with minimal radiation exposure-less than 10 percent that of medical CT scan and less than half that of a full series of dental x-rays. Due to all of these advantages, we believe this technology will become the standard of care for the placement of dental implants.

Oral Sedation (Pill)
Oral sedation, often administered in pill form, is a method used to relax patients before medical procedures or dental treatments. It involves taking a prescribed medication by mouth, typically a benzodiazepine or similar sedative, which induces a calming effect and reduces anxiety. The dosage is carefully tailored to the individual’s needs and medical history. This approach is convenient and non-invasive, allowing patients to remain conscious but deeply relaxed throughout the procedure. However, it requires thorough evaluation by a professional to ensure safety and effectiveness, with potential side effects including drowsiness and impaired coordination.

Painless Dental care

How You Will Feel
Experience calmness and comfort with Sedation Dentistry. Relax during dental procedures for a stress-free, anxiety-reducing visit.
Our patients’ perception of this sedation technique is they feel that they have slept through the appointment. We most commonly hear, “I remember being sedated and the next thing I remember is waking up with my teeth fixed.” Most patients remember nothing about their treatment. A few will remember a little, usually at the end of the appointment when we are getting them ready to go home. You will need someone to bring you to our office on the day of your sedation appointment and you MUST have someone take you home afterward.
  • Safety: Conscious sedation is very safe. We have full control over your sedation state while receiving your dental treatment. Your vital signs are monitored continuously.
  • Decision: The only thing standing between you and getting dental care you want is one call away.

Painless Dental Procedures

Breathe Easy Through Dental Procedures: Consider Sedation Dentistry
Ease dental anxiety with sedation dentistry for a stress-free experience during procedures. Breathe easy and relax in the dentist’s chair.

1

Initial Consultation

The process typically begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Margarita Kutsikovich at Premier Dental Associates. During this appointment, the patient's medical history, current medications, and level of dental anxiety are assessed. This information helps in determining the most suitable sedation option.

2

Sedation Option

Based on the assessment, Dr. Kutsikovich will discuss the available sedation options with the patient. These may include: Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas).

3

Preparation

Before the dental procedure, specific instructions will be provided to the patient regarding eating, drinking, and medication intake. Patients undergoing IV sedation may be advised to abstain from eating or drinking for a certain period before the procedure.

4

Administration

On the day of the dental procedure, the chosen sedative will be administered according to the predetermined plan. For nitrous oxide and oral sedation, the patient will remain conscious but relaxed throughout the procedure. IV sedation may result in a deeper state of relaxation or even sleep, depending on the dosage administered.

5

Dental Procedure

Once the patient is adequately sedated, Dr. Kutsikovich and the dental team will proceed with the planned dental treatment. Throughout the procedure, vital signs are monitored to ensure the patient's safety and comfort.

6

Recovery

After the completion of the dental procedure, patients may require some time to fully recover from the effects of sedation. The dental team will monitor the patient until they are alert and stable to leave the office. Patients receiving IV sedation may need someone to accompany them home due to lingering effects.

7

Follow-Up

Dr. Kutsikovich may schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the patient's recovery and address any concerns or questions they may have regarding the dental procedure or sedation experience.
