Chicago Sedation Dentistry

Serving Chicago, Illinois and the surrounding areas

Sedation dentistry from Glen Dental Center offers patients the ultimate relaxing experience and an antidote to anxiety. Nitrous oxide is extremely safe, very relaxing, and very convenient. It’s breathed as a gas through your nose, and it wears off within two minutes at the end of your appointment so you can safely drive home or go back to work. It strengthens the Novocaine, and it enables people who have had very stressful experiences with dental care in the past to be comfortable in the dental chair and receive needed care, drifting off into an anxiety-free state for a calm, soothing dental visit.

The nitrous oxide mask

Even though we do everything we can to make your dental visit comfortable, some patients just dread having any sort of work done on their teeth. We recommend our nitrous oxide sedation dentistry to any patient who experiences anxiety in the dental chair. From a simple cleaning to a series of smile makeover procedures, this is safe enough for any situation. It also allows patients to sit for extended periods of time in order to complete several treatments in one visit.

If you’re interested in sedation dentistry, schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Cohen. Dr. Cohen will discuss the details of sedation dentistry and answer any questions you may have about the process. During your actual dental visit, you’ll receive nitrous oxide in the form of an inhaled gas through a small inhaler. Within minutes, you’ll experience a feeling of lightheadedness and warmth, and drift off into a daydream-like state of relaxation. Before you know it, you’re awake and sporting a brand new smile! You will remain responsive during the procedure and will not be unconscious. Dr. Cohen and his assistant will monitor your comfort level throughout the procedure to make sure you are totally at ease.
