Anxiety-Free Dental Care
We understand that dental visits can be stressful for many people. Whether your concerns come from past experiences, sensitivity, or general dental anxiety, sedation dentistry at Dr. Ban R. Barbat, DDS helps patients feel calm, comfortable, and confident during care.
Why Patients Choose Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry allows patients to receive the treatment they need comfortably and without fear. Over the years, many individuals who once struggled with dental anxiety have shared how much easier and more positive their visits have become after choosing sedation options at our office. After reviewing your medical history and level of anxiety, Dr. Barbat will recommend a sedation method that ensures your experience is safe, relaxing, and free of unnecessary stress.
Our Sedation Options
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A light form of relaxation inhaled through a soft nose mask. You remain awake and calm, and the effects wear off quickly so you can continue your day normally.
- Oral Sedation: A prescribed medication taken before your visit helps you reach a deeper level of relaxation without IVs or needles. It is a great choice for those with moderate anxiety. A companion will need to drive you home afterward.
- IV Sedation: Administered intravenously, this form of sedation offers the deepest level of comfort and allows Dr. Barbat to adjust your sedation level during the procedure. It is ideal for patients with significant anxiety or complex treatment needs.
What to Expect
- A complete review of your medical history and medications.
- Guidance on preparing for your appointment.
- Careful monitoring throughout your procedure to ensure safety and relaxation.
- Post-treatment care instructions so you can recover comfortably.
