Sedation & Sleep Dentistry

Many patients are pleased to hear that their dental needs can be met while they are sleeping! Thanks to the latest advancements in sedation dentistry, patients no longer need to experience the discomfort or inconvenience that can accompany multiple or lengthy dental procedures. Wilsonville Dental Group works closely with anesthesia providers who utilize IV sedation to allow a patient to sleep comfortably while all their dental work is completed. Because of the comprehensive training of our dentists, we are almost always able to provide all the dental care a patient might need while asleep, from root canals to crowns, deep cleanings to implants, extractions to fillings.

Our ability to provide this care efficiently greatly decreases the cost for our patients as well as the time requirements because you will no longer have to visit multiple offices to accomplish the various treatment needs. Our services are also of great benefit to patients who, for whatever reason, are unable to cooperate for dental treatment. We have treated patients with severe autism, developmental or mental disabilities, burn or trauma patients and many other unique patient needs to numerous to list. From as young as 3 years old, to the elderly, sedation dentistry can keep your loved one or friend chewing without pain, free from infection and smiling comfortably. Sedation dentistry can also offer you the convenience of restoring your mouth in one or two visits.

For patients who do not need a deep level of sedation, we are also a licensed provider of Nitrous Oxide. Whether you are getting your teeth cleaned or a root canal done, Nitrous Oxide can be a simple means to help you relax while your treatment is provided. Another method to help you relax involves taking certain medications in conjunction with your treatment. When taking these medications, it is necessary to have someone bring you safely to the office and take you home and monitor your recovery when the treatment is complete.

Talk with your dentist today about these forms of relaxation available for your comfort. Your dentist will be able to help you decide which method will be of greatest benefit to you. Some of our patients even receive deep sedation for the examination and x-rays in order to identify the problems in their mouth! If you know someone who would benefit from this form of treatment, someone who hasn’t had dental care for many years because of their fears or can’t have dentistry in the conventional manner, please tell them today of this service available to them.
