When discussing the advanced technology<\/a> that your implantologist uses, sedation dentistry might come up. You have likely heard how sedation dentistry can help soothe dental fears \u2013 but did you know that it can have other uses as well? Below are 4 examples of ways that sedation dentistry can help patients have a more positive experience when getting dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Sedation Dentistry Can Benefit Those with a TMJ Disorder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A TMJ disorder is an issue with the joint that connects the lower jaw to the rest of the skull. This can result in a lot of jaw pain, and it can make it difficult to hold your mouth open for an extended period of time \u2013 which, obviously, is a problem if you\u2019re planning on undergoing dental implant surgery. Luckily, sedation dentistry can go a long way toward making treatment more comfortable for patients who currently have TMJ problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Sedation Dentistry Can Help with Long or Complex Treatments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implant surgery can take a while, especially if you need to have more than one implant post placed. Many patients may find it difficult to sit still for so long. As such, sedation dentistry may be suggested to help you stay relaxed throughout the process, thus allowing you to get the treatment you need without growing restless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Sedation Dentistry Can Be Used to Reduce a Gag Reflex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a gag reflex that makes it difficult to have dental work done? This is a more common problem than you might think. However, IV sedation can often be a great solution, as it can relax certain muscles and suppress the nervous system in order to keep your gag reflex under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sedation Dentistry Can Help Reduce Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many patients are understandably concerned about experiencing discomfort during dental implant surgery. A local anesthetic is often used to keep the mouth numb for the procedure. But if you\u2019re still worried, sedation dentistry can help. It can prevent you from experiencing pain throughout your treatment, leaving you with one less thing to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, while sedation dentistry is primarily used as a way to control dental fears, it also has various other uses that can benefit many different patients. Are you thinking about having sedation administered during your dental implant procedure? Talk to your implantologist to see what options are available and find out whether you\u2019re a good candidate for sedation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
