Sedation Dentistry in Kissimmee
Get the Dental Care You Need Without Fear, Pain, or Stress
Has anxiety, fear, or past bad experiences stopped you from visiting the dentist? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Many adults will avoid going to the dentist for years, even when they are in pain, because the sights, sounds, or sensations make them uncomfortable.
We provide IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide. With Dr. Hoover’s specialized training in sedation dentistry, we can ensure you receive dental care without any phobia, pain or stress, all in a comforting and welcoming environment.
How Sedation Dentistry Can Change Your Experience
If you’ve ever avoided treatment because of anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or fear of pain then you can understand why having sedation options can make all the difference.
Our IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide options allow you to relax completely during the procedure. Whether you need a simple cleaning or multiple treatments in one visit, sedation helps you stay at ease while we take care of everything.
Sedation Options in Kissimmee for a Stress-Free Dental Experience
We offer 3 levels of sedation. We’ll help determine the best option for you during your consultation.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous and Oxygen Administered Through a Mask
Best for patients with mild dental anxiety or those who want quick relaxation without lingering effects. For a lighter, fast-acting sedation option, nitrous oxide is a great choice. Also known as laughing gas, it’s administered through a mask worn over the nose and has the benefits of being easy to use on patients of all ages while also being considered one of the safest methods of dental sedation. The effects wear off quickly, so you will be able to drive yourself home after your visit without any downtime.
Oral Sedation
Medication for Deep Relaxation
Best for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety who want to feel calm without being fully sedated.
If you prefer to stay awake but worry about feeling nervous, oral sedation is a good option. You take a prescribed medication before your appointment, which will put you in a deeply relaxed state while allowing you to remain aware of your surroundings. Many patients describe feeling drowsy and carefree, making it great for those who want a stress-free dental visit while still awake.
IV Sedation
Enter A Dream-like State
Best for patients with severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those needing multiple procedures in one visit. IV sedation is one of the most effective ways to ensure a pain-free, stress-free dental experience. Administered directly into the bloodstream through the vein, this method induces a deep state of relaxation, where you remain responsive but will have minimal memory of the procedure. It’s ideal for patients who need longer treatments or prefer to feel as if they slept through their appointment
