Sedation Dentistry

Stress-Free Dental Care with Sedation Dentistry at Espire Dental in Denver Tech Center

For many people, visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety, but at Espire Dental DTC, we believe no one should feel nervous about taking care of their smile. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry to help even the most anxious patients feel completely relaxed and at ease during their appointments. With the expert guidance of Dr. Adam Jury, our patients can enjoy stress-free, comfortable dental care in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It's ideal for people who experience dental anxiety, have low pain tolerance, or need extensive work done in a single visit. Whether you’re visiting for a routine cleaning or more complex procedures like dental implants, sedation can make your experience both comfortable and calm.

At Espire Dental DTC, we offer different levels of sedation depending on your individual needs and comfort level:

Why Choose Sedation Dentistry at Espire Dental DTC?

Sedation dentistry can help make your dental experience more comfortable and less stressful. It’s beneficial if you:

  • Experience dental anxiety: If just the thought of a dental visit makes you nervous, sedation dentistry can help you relax and feel more comfortable.
  • Need multiple procedures: Sedation allows us to complete more work in a single visit, which can reduce the number of appointments you need.
  • Have a low pain threshold: If you're particularly sensitive to pain or have difficulty getting numb, sedation ensures that you won’t feel discomfort during your procedure.
  • Have a sensitive gag reflex: Sedation can help you relax your muscles, making it easier for the dentist to work without triggering your gag reflex.

At Espire Dental DTC, we prioritize patient comfort and well-being. Sedation dentistry allows us to provide high-quality care without the fear or discomfort that may come with traditional dental visits.

Types of Sedation We Offer:

  • Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild form of sedation, nitrous oxide is perfect for reducing anxiety during routine procedures. It’s inhaled through a mask, making you feel relaxed and calm. The effects wear off quickly, so you can resume your day as usual.
  • Oral Sedation: This involves taking a pill before your appointment, allowing you to feel deeply relaxed by the time you arrive. You’ll remain awake but very calm, and many patients report remembering little about the procedure afterward.
  • IV Sedation: IV sedation allows heavier sedation for more advanced relaxation. You’ll feel drowsy, and many patients even fall asleep during treatment. This option is best for patients with severe anxiety or those undergoing more extensive dental work.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe. Dr. Adam Jury is specially trained to administer sedation and will closely monitor your vital signs throughout your procedure to ensure your safety.

Will I be completely asleep?

With most sedation methods, you’ll be conscious but deeply relaxed. However, with IV sedation, many patients feel like they’ve slept through the procedure.

How long does sedation last?

It depends on the type of sedation you receive. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral and IV sedation may require more recovery time. You’ll need someone to drive you home after oral or IV sedation.

Can I eat before my appointment?

We recommend avoiding food several hours before sedation, particularly oral or IV sedation. Our team will provide detailed instructions before your visit.

How do I know if sedation is right for me?

If you have dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or need multiple procedures, sedation dentistry may be ideal. During a consultation, Dr. Adam can discuss your options and help you decide on the best sedation plan.

Is sedation dentistry covered by insurance?

Coverage varies, but many dental insurance plans cover sedation for specific procedures. Our office team will help you understand your coverage and maximize your benefits.
