Sedation Options

Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. At Roanoke Oral Surgery, we offer various sedation options to ensure your procedure is stress-free and relaxing. Our experienced team understands that each patient has unique needs when it comes to sedation and anesthesia.

Why Consider Sedation for Your Procedure?

Dental anxiety shouldn’t prevent you from getting the care you need. Sedation can help you feel relaxed and at ease during your oral surgery. We offer several levels of sedation, from mild relaxation to deep sleep, depending on your procedure and personal needs.

Here’s when sedation might be right for you, if you:

• Experience anxiety about dental procedures
• Have a complex surgery requiring extended time
• Have a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty sitting still
• Want to complete multiple procedures in one visit

Your Personalized Sedation Options

At Roanoke Oral Surgery, we tailor our sedation approach to your specific needs and procedure requirements. Our trained professionals monitor your vital signs throughout your treatment to ensure your safety and comfort.

Local Anesthesia

Local anesthesia numbs the surgical area while you remain fully awake. This option works well for simple procedures when you prefer to stay alert. We use advanced techniques to ensure your injection is as comfortable as possible.

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide helps you feel relaxed while remaining conscious. You’ll recover quickly and should be able to drive yourself home after a short observation period. This mild sedation option helps take the edge off during less complex procedures.

IV Sedation

IV sedation offers deep relaxation and typically prevents any memory of your procedure. Your sedation level can be adjusted throughout your treatment for optimal comfort. Our team carefully monitors your vital signs during IV sedation, including:

• Blood pressure and heart rate
• Oxygen levels
• Breathing rate
• Temperature
• Level of consciousness

Preparing for Your Sedation Appointment

Your safety is our top priority. Before your procedure, we’ll review your medical history and provide clear instructions about eating, drinking, and medications. You’ll need a responsible adult to drive you home after receiving most forms of sedation.

Expert Care from Our Sedation Team

Our surgical team brings extensive experience in administering all forms of sedation. We use state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and follow strict safety protocols during every procedure.

Your well-being remains our focus from pre-op through recovery.
