Sit Back and Relax: Sedation Dentistry at its Finest
At Jay Platt, DDS Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center, we understand the importance of making our patients feel comfortable and safe throughout their dental procedures. Whether you’re coming in for a simple tooth extraction or a more involved surgery like dental implant placement, our team is dedicated to providing you with the best care possible. A significant part of this commitment involves offering various anesthesia options tailored to your needs and the specific requirements of your procedure. Let’s explore these options and how they can make your dental experience as pleasant as possible.
Local Anesthetic: Precision and Comfort
For simple oral surgeries, a local anesthetic ensures you remain fully conscious while numbing the specific area of the procedure. This method is often used in conjunction with other anesthesia types for all oral surgery procedures, providing a base level of comfort without affecting your awareness.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Ease and Relaxation
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide sedation is a step up in ensuring your comfort. Administered through a nasal breathing apparatus, it keeps you conscious but in a relaxed state, effectively managing pain and anxiety for a range of procedures, from the straightforward to the more complex, like wisdom teeth removal or dental implant placements.
Office-Based IV Sedation: Deep Relaxation
For those who experience higher levels of anxiety or are undergoing more significant procedures, IV sedation offers a deeper relaxation level. This method induces a sleep-like state, where you’re unaware of the procedure but still breathing on your own, with your vital signs closely monitored for utmost safety. IV sedation is versatile, suitable for various surgeries, and can be a comforting option even for less complex treatments, depending on your comfort and anxiety levels.
General Anesthesia: Comprehensive Care
Some procedures require a more extensive approach, and for these, general anesthesia is available. Performed in a hospital or surgery center, this method is typically reserved for extensive surgeries or patients with specific medical conditions. Under the careful administration of an anesthesiologist, patients are completely asleep, ensuring a pain-free experience for the most complex cases.

Dr. Jay Platt and our team are highly trained and experienced in administering these anesthesia options, ensuring your safety and comfort at every step.
