Sedation Dentistry

Absolutely! When performed by trained professionals like our team at Harmony Dentistry, sedation dentistry is a very safe and effective way to make dental care more comfortable. We take every precaution to ensure your safety throughout the entire process. Before any sedation is administered, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and overall health. This helps us choose the sedation method that’s best suited for your individual needs and ensures that there are no contraindications.

We offer multiple levels of sedation:

  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
  • Oral conscious sedation,
  • IV sedation
  • General anesthesia

Each one is carefully selected based on the complexity of your procedure and your level of anxiety or sensitivity. During your visit, our highly trained team continuously monitors your vital signs, including your heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure, to make sure everything stays within a safe range from start to finish.

Dental anxiety is real, and if your heart races and your palms sweat at the thought of going to the dentist, then you understand just how real it is. Thankfully, our Fortville and Westfield dental offices offer numerous sedation options, relieving your anxiety and helping you restore your oral health.

Your Sedation Options

At Harmony Dentistry, we offer the following sedation options:

  • Nitrous oxide — Also known as “laughing gas,” you’ll breathe this sedative through a mask and feel calm during treatment. It wears off quickly, too!
  • Oral conscious sedation — If you prefer, you can take a prescription medication before your appointment. Someone will drive you to and from our office, but you’ll arrive feeling serene and drowsy.
  • IV sedation — For longer procedures, we can deliver a sedative through a vein. You’ll be deeply relaxed and may not remember your visit.
  • General anesthesia — This option puts you completely to sleep during treatment. We’ll carefully monitor your vital signs throughout your time with us.
