Do you experience dental anxiety, sensitivity to light and sound, or have difficulty comfortably receiving dental care? Smile Studio Fontana offers top sedation dentistry services in Fontana, CA and beyond, with a full spectrum of sedation options designed to cater to each person's needs! For any anxiety level, we'll assess your health history and work with you to determine the safest, most appropriate level of sedation for you!
Our dentist's office in Fontana offers the following levels of sedation:
Oral Conscious Sedation
Relax during your visit with oral conscious sedation! This form of sedation is taken as a pill before your procedure begins. Oral conscious sedation can be used as both a mild and moderate sedative. With mild sedation, patients feel drowsy; for moderate sedation, patients may fall into a light sleep.
Laughing Gas
Laughing gas, or inhalation sedation, is a form of light sedation usually offered to young patients or those with mild anxiety in the dental chair. Laughing gas is a colorless, odor-free gas that is administered through a comfortable breathing mask.
Our dentist controls the amount of gas to ensure maximum safety and comfort. With this form of sedation, you can expect to be fully relaxed while still fully awake and able to follow instructions.
IV Sedation
Smile Studio Fontana partners offers Intravenous (IV) sedation, also known as sleep dentistry, is offered to our patients with extreme dental anxiety, to those with special healthcare needs, or for those who are set to undergo oral surgery or long treatment.
IV sedation does not put the patient fully to sleep but instead uses anti-anxiety medication that is administered directly into the veins to help promote relaxation. Most patients experience relaxation and temporary memory loss, and Dr. Ra will adjust the medication as needed during treatment.
We partner with anesthesiologists to offer state-of-the-art sedation our patients can trust!
