Sedation Dentist Middletown
Dr. John Pavlakis is the only general dentist in Middletown licensed to provide sedation dentistry, giving patients a safe and comfortable way to receive the care they need.
Sedation is a simple process where we administer medication to help you relax, whether you need mild calming effects or deeper sedation for more extensive procedures. This option is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, those requiring multiple treatments in one visit, or individuals with special needs who may find traditional dental visits challenging.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled medication to help you feel calm and at ease during dental treatments. Options like laughing gas (nitrous oxide), oral sedation, and general anesthesia are tailored to meet your unique needs. Dr. John Pavlakis provides sedation to patients requiring anything from routine procedures to more advanced treatments like oral surgery, ensuring comfort every step of the way.
How the Sedation Dentistry Process Works
Sedation dentistry is a straightforward process designed to prioritize your comfort and safety. Whether you're here for a routine cleaning or something more involved like oral surgery, we carefully customize every step to meet your needs. Here's what you can expect during the process:
- Consultation: We’ll review your medical history and treatment goals to determine the most suitable sedation method, whether that’s laughing gas for light relaxation or general anesthesia for deeper sedation.
- Preparation: On the day of your procedure, you’ll receive instructions to help you prepare. For some sedation options, like oral sedatives or anesthesia, you’ll need a ride home.
- Sedation Administration: During your visit, Dr. Pavlakis and his team will carefully monitor you to ensure your safety and comfort. From laughing gas to general anesthesia, our advanced techniques ensure a smooth, relaxing experience.
- Recovery: After your procedure, you’ll rest in our care until the sedation wears off. Most patients feel relaxed and refreshed within a few hours.
