Feeling anxious about dental care is common, but it should never prevent you from maintaining a healthy smile. Sedation dentistry helps patients relax and receive the treatment they need comfortably and confidently, whether for a routine visit or a complex procedure.
At DiQuattro Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Ryan DiQuattro provides safe, personalized sedation options as part of his comprehensive general dental care. Patients throughout Scottsdale and Phoenix trust his calm, reassuring approach and commitment to making every visit stress-free.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients feel relaxed during treatment. It’s ideal for anyone with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or difficulty sitting comfortably for long appointments. The goal isn’t to “put you to sleep” but to ease tension and make the experience comfortable and smooth.
Depending on the procedure and your comfort level, sedation options may include:
Both methods allow patients to remain aware but calm, making it easier to undergo care without fear or discomfort.
When Sedation Dentistry Can Help
Sedation can be used for a wide range of dental treatments, including:
It’s also a helpful option for children or adults with heightened sensitivity or past negative experiences at the dentist.
What to Expect During Sedation
Before treatment, Dr. DiQuattro will review your medical history, discuss options, and determine which type of sedation best suits your needs. On the day of your appointment, you’ll remain monitored throughout the procedure to ensure your comfort and safety.
Most patients report little to no memory of the procedure and can return home shortly after treatment with minimal downtime.
