Dental anxiety is real, and it can make even routine visits feel overwhelming. Fear of pain, negative experiences in your past, or even just the sounds and smells of a dental office can be significant barriers to getting the care you need.
At UX Smile, we understand that you may have avoided dental care because of these fears, and we want to help you overcome them with safe and effective sedation dentistry in Snoqualmie, WA. Our gentle and compassionate approach to dentistry ensures you are comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free throughout every visit. You deserve dental care without worry; we’re here to make that possible!
Dental anxiety is a deeply personal experience. It’s different for each person and may feel intense depending on the day or type of treatment you need. We offer a range of sedation dentistry options to ensure you feel comfortable at every visit.
Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a safe and effective method for reducing anxiety, minimizing discomfort, and boosting the effectiveness of local dental anesthesia to ensure a completely painless experience. By inhaling a mixture of nitrous oxide gas and oxygen through a small nasal mask, you will feel calm while remaining fully awake.
Nitrous oxide is so safe that it’s ideal for children. It wears off within minutes, so you can return to normal activities after your appointment. This type of dental anesthesia is an excellent choice for shorter appointments like dental cleanings, for people with mild dental fear, or to help other sedation dentistry treatments work better.
Oral conscious sedation dentistry involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed. You will remain awake but deeply relaxed, dream-like, making the experience quick and easy.
This option is excellent for mild to moderate anxiety as well as longer appointments. Since the effects last several hours, you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home.
IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation, making it ideal for people with severe dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive treatments such as oral surgery.
Administered directly into the bloodstream, it works quickly and allows us to adjust the level of sedation as needed. You will remain conscious but deeply relaxed, often with little to no memory of the procedure. With IV sedation, you can receive the necessary dental care without stress or discomfort.
Skipping dental checkups and needed treatments due to fear can lead to serious oral health problems. Cavities, gum disease, and infections don’t go away independently. They only worsen over time, leading to pain, tooth loss, and even dangerous health complications.
With sedation dentistry, you no longer need to put off your care or suffer in silence. We’re here to help you feel safe, comfortable, and in control of your dental health!
