Baton Rouge Sedation Dentistry - Get Dental Care Without Anxiety Or Fear

We know many people feel anxious before visiting the dentist. In the past, many people would endure a stressful visit or avoid the dentist altogether. However, at Elements Dental Spa, we offer a few alternative options for our more nervous patients.

Elements Dental Spa – Baton Rouge Dentist & Aesthetics Spa provides sedation dentistry, which is specifically designed to help patients relax while receiving both simple and complex dental treatments.

Our Baton Rouge Sedation Dentistry

The goal is to have our patients as relaxed as possible but still responsive during treatment. Conscious sedation helps reduce anxiety, discomfort, and pain during certain procedures. This is accomplished with a combination of medication and local anesthesia.

You remain awake or very sleepy throughout the entire procedure and are able to breathe on your own. Patients typically recover from anxiolysis sedation within a few hours after the procedure is complete.

We offer two types of conscious sedation in our Baton Rouge office:

• Inhalation — Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is the most frequently used method for easing mild to moderate anxiety. This milder form of sedation is administered via a nasal mask during your visit. It helps you feel relaxed and calm during your procedure with no after-effects. Recovery is quick so you can resume your normal activities immediately.
• Oral — An extremely common technique for dental sedation is oral sedation. It is easy and does not require the use of needles. You will be given a prescription pill which, taken about an hour before your appointment, to calm your nerves and will feel relaxed during your time at our office. You will need someone to drive you home as this is a stronger form of sedation.
