Sedation Dentistry in Charlotte, North Carolina at Ballantyne Dental Spa

Imagine going to dental visits without fear, being able to receive all your dental care in just one appointment, and achieving a beautiful smile with no pain! This is made possible using sedation dentistry, offered at our Charlotte, North Carolina dental spa. Sedation dentistry is the perfect compliment to the world-class cosmetic and restorative dentistry offered at Ballantyne Center for Dentistry.

Conscious Sedation

Both Dr. Christian Yaste and Dr. Joseph Hufanda are certified in oral sedation, a technique that lets the patient stay awake during the procedure, but calm and unable to feel pain.

This type of sedation dentistry involves taking an oral sedative before coming to our Charlotte, North Carolina office. You should have a companion drive you to and from your dental appointment. The oral sedation will put you in a dream-like state, where you are unable to feel anxiety or pain, and you will emerge from your visit with little or no memory of your actual treatment.

This form of sedation dentistry does not necessitate the use of breathing apparatus, as does unconscious sedation. An anesthesiologist must monitor unconscious sedation dentistry, which is performed under general anesthesia. Both approaches have their uses, but conscious sedation is generally appropriate for all but the most intensive oral surgeries. We find that conscious sedation is generally sufficient to make visits a breeze for our anxious patients.

Advantages of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry has several advantages. First, it helps us meet the goal of providing each of our patients with a comfortable dental experience. We believe that receiving the dental care you need should not invoke fear, anxiety, or stress, and sedation dentistry lets us accomplish this for even the most fearful patient.

Secondly, sedation dentistry is an excellent way to receive all your necessary dental work in just one visit. In many cases, dental work that would normally take three or four visits can be condensed into one, letting patients emerge with a beautiful smile and no memory of their treatment.
