Sedation Dentistry Test

Sedation Dentistry

Patients undergoing oral surgery or experience dental anxiety can visit our team at Dr. Terry Abel, Inc. for safe and comfortable treatment. We offer a variety of sedation options to help keep you calm while addressing your oral health needs.

Call our Langley dental team today to learn more about how we can help make your appointment stress-free and alleviate discomfort during your dental procedures.

IV Sedation for Oral Surgery

When you come to us for wisdom teeth removal or require another oral surgery, we are certified to administer sedation intravenously so you remain anesthetized for the duration of treatment We have two assistants helping throughout the process. One assistant is dedicated to monitoring your vitals while also ensuring you maintain stable blood pressure and a safe breathing pace.

While IV sedation does not put you completely to sleep, you will experience a deep enough level of sedation so you don’t experience pain or discomfort. This semi-awake state allows you to remain comfortable while still granting you the opportunity to respond to Dr. Abel if needed.

When undergoing IV sedation for your procedure, the calming effects will take some time to reverse, so arranging transportation home is recommended.

Other Sedation Options

Delaying treatment for your oral health because of dental anxiety can often cause minor dental concerns to develop into more concerning issues. In addition to providing sedation for oral surgeries, we offer nitrous oxide and oral-conscious methods to help you relax and feel comfortable at your appointment.

Nitrous oxide is a more common form of dental sedation used to help calm patients’ nerves. Often called laughing gas, this method allows you to breathe the gas through a mask or hood. Patients appreciate this option because the sedative wears off instantaneously, allowing them to drive themselves home.

Oral-conscious sedation permits those apprehensive about treatment to take a prescribed medication prior to the appointment. You’ll experience reduced anxiety and a slight amnesic effect so your treatment feels comfortable and performed efficiently. The effects take some time to wear off, so you will need to arrange transportation home when utilizing this option.

My family and I have been with Dr. Abel since we moved to Langley years ago. I did some dental work this week. Dr. Ali was very gentle, and I was very pleased with his ability, skill and speed and how well my filling turned out. His knowledgeable assessment and assurance put me right at ease. The staff were so accommodating to get me an appointment in spite of the weather and Christmas holidays coming up. I am grateful to have such a great dental clinic- look no further and talk to them - you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your excellent customer service My Langley Dentist .

I switched to this place a few years ago as it was recommended by a friend. Very happy with every aspect, especially with the extra care package I was gifted after my wisdom tooth removal. Exceptionally professional and knowledgeable staff who are also very personable every time I see them. Much appreciated, keep it up, thank you! :)
