Extractions with Sedation at IDS

At IDS, we understand that dental extractions can be daunting for many patients. To help ease anxiety and ensure a comfortable experience, we offer sedation options for both simple and complex extractions. Our goal is to provide you with a stress-free environment where you can receive the care you need.

What Are Extractions with Sedation?

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help you relax during dental procedures. It is especially beneficial for patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during extractions. We offer various sedation options tailored to your needs, including:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild sedative inhaled through a mask that helps you feel relaxed and at ease. It wears off quickly after the procedure.

Oral Sedation

A prescribed medication taken before your appointment to help reduce anxiety. You will feel drowsy but remain awake and responsive.

IV Sedation

Administered through an intravenous line, this method allows for deeper sedation and is monitored closely by our dental team.

The Extraction Procedure with Sedation

Consultation

During your initial visit, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss your sedation options. Your medical history will be reviewed to ensure your safety.

Administration of Sedation

On the day of your extraction, the chosen sedation method will be administered. We will monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort.

Extraction Process

Once you are relaxed, the dentist will proceed with the extraction. Whether simple or complex, the focus will be on minimising discomfort and anxiety.

Post-Extraction Care

After the extraction, our team will provide post-operative instructions. With sedation, you may feel groggy, so it’s essential to arrange for someone to accompany you home.

Benefits of Sedation for Extractions

Reduced Anxiety

Sedation helps alleviate fear and anxiety, making the experience more comfortable.

Increased Comfort

Patients often feel less pain and discomfort during the procedure, as the sedative helps dull sensations.

Enhanced Cooperation

Sedation can help patients remain still and calm during the extraction, allowing for a smoother procedure.

Recovery After Sedation

Rest

It’s essential to rest after your extraction, especially if you received sedation.

Pain Management

Follow our recommendations for managing discomfort, which may include prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers.

Dietary Restrictions

Stick to soft foods and avoid hot beverages until the numbness wears off.
