Sedation Dentistry in the Hartford, Connecticut Area

Many people who are in serious need of dental attention can never bring themselves to visit a dentist. For people like these, just the thought of entering a dentist's office is enough to fill them with intense dread and anxiety. If this sounds like you, you should know that you’re not alone. About half of all American adults do not get the dental care they need. This is why our office is proud to offer nitrous oxide, oral anxiolysis ("oral pill induced sleep state") and IV Sedation Dentistry, serving patients in Glastonbury, near Hartford Connecticut.

We are certified to offer IV Sedation (Intravenous Sedation) where we have a board certified anesthesiologist come to our office and administer IV Sedation. Patients are asleep during the sedation and closely monitored, and all their treatment is accomplished during the sedation. Patient's wake up to a brand new smile!

Sleep Dentistry or Sedation Dentistry

We understand how intimidating and stressful the thought of going to the dentist can be. Perhaps you have had a bad dental experience in the past, enduring more pain than you should have or encountering a dentist with a particularly abrasive manner. Perhaps you have avoided seeing a dentist altogether. Whatever your history, we would love the opportunity to show you how comfortable, relaxing, and pleasant a dental appointment can be with intravenous sedation. We welcomes all new patients to our practice, but we are particularly pleased to make a difference in the lives of people who have a dental phobia.

Do not let dental fear or dental phobia prevent you from getting the care you deserve, because our dental anesthesiologist will ensure you are comfortable with sleep dentistry resulting in an extremely favorable dental experience for you.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

We have built our practice on the idea that advanced cosmetic and implant dentistry can and should be gentle and pain-free, and as a result we offer the option of sedation dentistry to patients at our Glastonbury, CT, practice located near Hartford, Connecticut. Under intravenous sedation administered by a licensed dentist anesthesiologist, you will enter a semi-conscious state of sedation, during which you will be unaware of the dental procedure taking place. When the sedation dissipates, you will feel like you have just woken from a restful sleep; you probably won't even remember the procedure. Dr. Bidra will discuss with you any post-operative care instructions before you are discharged.

What procedures can be performed during sedation dentistry?

Most treatments can be coupled with sedation dentistry for the patient’s comfort, including extractions, dental implants, All-on-4 dental implantsdental porcelain veneers, TMJ treatments, and full mouth reconstructions. Because even the most complex dental work is easier when the patient is comfortable and relaxed, multiple procedures can be completed in hours that might otherwise take days of numerous visits. In some cases, years of neglected dental work can be completed in one or two office visits.

Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?

Ideal for today’s hectic agendas, sedation dentistry allows busy Hartford, Connecticut-area residents to schedule more than one procedure to be performed during an office visit. Before the procedure, we will conduct a thorough examination and screen you for sedation dentistry candidacy. Be sure to mention if you are taking any medications or if you have any health conditions that may be affected by sedation dentistry. If you are an appropriate candidate, you can look forward to simply sitting back, relaxing, and "sleeping" through your dental experience.
