Improve Your Dental Experiences with Sedation

Feeling nervous at the dentist’s office is common. However, millions of people struggle with a level of dental fear that’s keeps them from getting the routine care they need for a healthy smile. Because we take your oral health and comfort seriously, we’ve invested in the advanced training required to provide you with three options in dental sedation. We offer:

  • Inhaled Sedation – This sedation is safe for all ages, including children. You’ll feel its immediate calming effects before treatment begins. It’s just enough to take the edge off and ease mild to moderate dental anxiety.
  • Oral Sedation – Dr. Schope can prescribe medication prior to your visit, so you’re calm and comfortable just before your appointment. You will need to have someone drive you to and from your appointment, and you’ll feel deeply relaxed while you’re here.
  • IV Sedation – This is the strongest available form of sedation, so those with severe dental phobia can get the care they require. It even makes it easier to combine multiple procedures into one visit, so you don’t have to stress about coming back to complete your treatment plan.

We want you to always feel good about visiting us. That’s why we have amenities like TV monitors and headphones to help you feel at home, as well as numbing creams and local anesthesia when needed.

Once you’ve tried our sedation options in Colorado Springs, you’ll never see visiting the dentist the same way again. Call us at 719-675-5238 or schedule online today.

Common Questions About Sedation Options

Does sedation dentistry work for most patients?

Yes, we offer three levels of sedation dentistry that can calm the fear and anxiety of any patient. We’ll discuss each type of sedation in detail and help you decide on the one that will work best for your procedure. Our goal is to provide you with pain-free, anxiety-free care every time you visit our office. Our sedation options help make sure that happens.

What sedation options are available to me?

We offer three kinds of sedation: inhaled sedation (also called laughing gas), oral sedation in the form of a prescription pill, and IV sedation, which is administered intravenously. We’ll help you choose the kind of sedation that will work best for you. Among other factors, we’ll consider your medical history, your anxiety level, and the type of procedure you’re undergoing.

Are your sedation options safe?

All of our sedation options are safe. They’ve been used for many years in dentistry; in the case of laughing gas, for more than 150 years. They’re administered by Dr. Schope, who has years of experience with sedation. Our team will monitor you throughout your treatment. If necessary, we can quickly reverse its effects.
