Relax and Feel at Ease with Gentle Sedation Dentistry
If you feel anxious or nervous about visiting the dentist, you’re not alone. Many patients experience dental anxiety, making it difficult to get the care they need. At Dr. Blake Brown Dentistry, we offer sedation dentistry in Durango, CO, to help patients feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed during their dental treatments.
Whether you need a simple cleaning or a complex procedure, our sedation options allow you to receive pain-free, stress-free care in a safe environment.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients who:
- Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety or phobia
- Have a low pain threshold or sensitive gag reflex
- Need multiple procedures in one visit
- Struggle with sitting still for long periods
- Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
If fear or anxiety has kept you from visiting the dentist, sedation can make your appointment stress-free.
Our Sedation Options
We offer different levels of sedation based on your needs and treatment type:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) – A mild, inhaled sedative that helps you relax while remaining awake. Effects wear off quickly after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home.
- Oral Sedation – A prescription pill taken before your appointment that provides a deeper level of relaxation. You’ll remain conscious but may feel drowsy, and you’ll need someone to drive you home.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best sedation option for your needs to ensure a comfortable experience.
What to Expect with Sedation Dentistry
- Personalized Consultation – We review your medical history and anxiety level to determine the right sedation option.
- Sedation Administration – Depending on the type of sedation, you’ll either inhale nitrous oxide or take an oral sedative before your procedure.
- Relaxed, Stress-Free Treatment – You’ll feel calm and comfortable while we complete your dental care.
- Safe Recovery & Aftercare – With nitrous oxide, effects wear off quickly. With oral sedation, you may feel drowsy for a few hours.
