Atrium Dental Center

Comfort Care

Our goal is that you be totally comfortable throughout any dental procedure. We tell all our patients, “If at any time you are uncomfortable during a procedure, just let us know and we will stop and take care of it for you.” With today’s minimally invasive dental procedures, many services can be performed comfortably without anesthetic. In the event that anesthetic is needed there are a few key steps we take which enable a pain free injection.

Four Critical Steps to Painless Injections

For the Anxious Patient

We never want to use any more anesthetic or sedation than what is necessary to get the job done comfortably, but for some people past experiences create a barrier to dental care that they just can't get past on their own. For these patients, building trust, confidence and no fear dental appointments may have to start with some kind of sedative to get through the first few appointments.

Sedatives

Sedatives are taken half an hour to an hour before your appointments. They are usually taken orally and can be given along with Nitrous Oxide for added effect.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide is a safe, effective way to relieve anxiety associated with dental procedures. The drug is a gas and is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a mask which fits over your nose.

Sleep Dentistry - Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral Conscious Sedation is the deepest form of sedation we use at the Atrium Dental Center. Most patients using this form of sedation are in and out of sleep throughout most of their treatment. The patient is not conscious of time and frequently remembers little or nothing about the treatment. Blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen level are monitored throughout your treatment time.
