Services - What is Sedation Dentistry?
 
Sedation dentistry allows you to be sedated just enough to be pain free and unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. That is why it is normally referred to as conscious sedation dentistry. So if you have sensitive teeth, a fear of dentists, have a bad gag reflex, hate needles, or have limited time to spend on dental care at the dentist, Sedation during dentistry procedures can help you.
 
Whatever the case may be sedation by your dentists can help you be more anxiety free during your dentistry treatment. Your dentist's ultimate goal is to make your visit to the dentist a relaxing and enjoyable one. Since you are completely comfortable, relaxed, and pain free your sedation dentist can do years of dental treatments in one or two dental visits.
 
With sedation your dentist can restore sore gums to good dental health, fix a chipped tooth, replace crowns or dentures, whiten yellow or stained teeth, and more.  All pain free!
 
THE WAND
 
The Wand PlusŪ Computer Controlled Anesthetic Delivery System
 
You may have heard about a device known as "The Wand". The wand is essentially a computer controlled injection. This means that the injection is guaranteed to be slow and therefore more comfortable. Obviously it is possible for the dentist to control the speed himself with a standard injection, but the idea of the wand is to take out the "human error" in the speed of the injection and therefore ensure a reproducable and painless injection every time.
The Wand is a useful gadget because it doesn't look like a traditional syringe, it works really well! Needle phobics love it... it's a bit slow though, but apart from that, no major disadvantages! If your dentist offers it, cool, if not, many dentists are well able to give painless injections without it - it's not that widely available.

Here at the Sacramento Dental Group we utilize this technology for the benefit our Patients.

We want to make sure that your Dental Experience is the most comfortable and pain free one yet.
