Dental anxiety is a common fear of dental procedures. It can range from mild tension to severe anxiety that keeps people from getting necessary care. Sedation is a calming approach that helps you remain relaxed during the procedure. It increases comfort and makes the experience less stressful.
Sedation is used for various dental procedures, especially for fixed solutions such as implants. The goal is to minimise pain and anxiety so you feel at ease. Depending on your needs, it can range from mild relaxation to deeper sedation. At DentFixa we focus on patient-centred care: we discuss your concerns openly and choose a suitable approach together to maximise comfort.
Our approach combines skilled treatment with advanced technology. With transparent explanations, an appropriate treatment plan and thorough aftercare, we make sure you leave with peace of mind.
Oral sedation involves taking a pill before treatment. It provides deeper relaxation. You remain awake but feel drowsy and calm. It is suitable for moderate anxiety and supports procedures such as implants. We monitor you closely to ensure safety and comfort.
Intravenous (IV) sedation is administered through a drip. It produces quick, controllable relaxation. You are deeply relaxed and remember little of the procedure. It is helpful for severe dental anxiety or complex treatments and greatly increases comfort.
When is sedation needed?
- With pronounced dental anxiety that hinders treatment.
- For extensive procedures, such as implant placement, where relaxation is essential.
- If you are sensitive to pain or sounds during treatment.
- For patients with a medical history requiring additional calm and stability.
- To increase comfort during long sessions for fixed dental solutions.
