We care about our patients’ comfort, and will not proceed with your work until you are ready to do so.

Dental Sedation Available at Cherry Creek Dentistry

Dental anesthesia ensures that you will be able to undergo treatment without feeling discomfort or forming negative opinions on dental work. Our practice offers a wide variety of forms of anesthesia and sedation (the difference between the two being that anesthesia numbs nerves to pain, and sedation relaxes the nervous system). Listed below are the ways the forms of anesthesia and sedation are administered.

  • Local anesthesia – Numbing the site where the work will be done
  • Oral sedation – Taking a pill that will induce a state of calm
  • IV sleep sedation – Receiving an intravenous drug that will relax you and place you in a conscious but sedate “sleep” state
  • Nitrous oxide – Inhaling a gas that will induce a sense of euphoria and relaxation
  • General anesthesia – Being “put under,” placed in an unconscious state, so that you do not experience or remember treatment.

Our Denver dentist is always available to answer questions – contact our office if you have any remaining trepidation about your appointment.
