When considering dental
implants for missing teeth, patients may think of possible anesthesia they
might intake before the treatment. Many people who fear of dental surgery and
have had bad childhood experience with a dentist may feel anxious going to
general orthodontics. The treatment may involve pain and take time to be
completed, while twilight
sedation dentistry Somerset can help patients in feeling relaxed and
comfortable throughout the procedure. It is not always enjoyable to watch a
surgeon playing with your sensitive gums so as long as you have some amount of
anesthesia during the treatment, you can be semi-conscious.
However, it is not always necessary for a dentist to sedate
you before implant treatment as it usually involves less pain. But, it becomes
vital when you feel unsettling. At last, it depends on the surgeon to which
type of anesthesia he/she gives you.
Types of Dental
Implants
Somerset Dental
implants are the best option for replacing lost or decayed teeth. However,
there are other options also available such as traditional dentures. Implants
are made of titanium and placed surgically into the jawbone of the patient.
After the oral examination and x-ray, a dentist can decide the size and height
of an implant that best fits in the place. In some cases, the patient might
have weak jawbone or bone loss and then the surgeon may need to complete a bone
grafting first. Bone graft supports the implant to be inserted adequately and
fuse with the bone gradually. The process can be extensive as well as little
invasive, so visiting twilight sedation
dentistry would be ideal for a pain-free experience.
Types of Anesthesia
The dentist near me decides the type of
anesthesia and its amount according to the level of a patient’s discomfort,
anxiety or fear.
- Oral sedation
- Conscious sedation / IV sedation / Twilight Anesthesia
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
Conscious sedation is extremely popular and can be
considered the best option as it safe and reliable technique. You remain in the
deep relaxation state during the treatment while you can still listen to voices
and sense what’s going on around you. But remember, due to drug effect patients
usually remember very little about the procedure afterward.
