Sedation Dentistry

Dr. Sands provides sedation dentistry for patients with special needs. If you are a busy individual sedation dentistry can save you time by enabling Dr. Sands to perform multiple procedures at once. This way you will be able to complete all of your dental work in fewer visits. Sedation dentistry is a must-have for people who have anxiety about going to the dentist. With sedation dentistry you’ll be completely unaware of the dental procedure and feel more relaxed. Many procedures such as dental implants and teeth whitening can be performed with sedation.

At Dr. Sands’ Beverly Hills practice there are different types of sedation methods available. You can choose to have oral sedation which involves taking a pill. It may take up to 30 minutes for it to take effect however. Nitrous oxide commonly known as laughing gas has been used for many years and is effective in making a person feel relaxed also. Intravenous sedation puts the medicine directly into your bloodstream where it can take effect more quickly.

Dr. Sands will make sure you are comfortable and well taken care of before, during and after your dental procedure. Set up an appointment with Dr. Sands or come in for a free consultation to find out more about sedation dentistry and the other services Dr. Sands provides.
