Dental Sedation Specialists In Riverton

Dental Sedation is the process of being put to sleep for dental treatment. There are several different types of sedation offered at Greater Endodontics. We are the leading dental sedation specialists in Riverton, and any sedation that is required will be discussed before your procedure.

The type of dental sedation required depends on the procedure needed. Many forms of dental emergency require a root canal. A root canal allows our endodontic professionals to save the affected tooth by removing the pulp and cleaning, filling and sealing the canals. The tooth is restored using a crown or other dental restoration technique.

The level of sedation you need will depend on the severity of the dental issue and your anxiety level surrounding dental procedures. Many patients who do not have fears surrounding dental work prefer to use IV sedation because it is fast, painless and extremely effective. However, we differ from other endodontic and sedation specialists because we offer solutions to patients who avoid dental procedures due to anxiety. Our other methods of dental sedation are designed to keep you conscious and able to respond, so you can feel comfortable from the moment you step into our office. More advanced dental procedures may require your preferred sedation method to be paired with anesthesia. Local anesthesia may be all that a patient requires to feel the numbing effects and remain calm throughout the appointment, but we offer multiple options for patients that would like or require a sedative.

Greater Endodontics Sedation Options


Anxiolytics

Nearly 20% of Americans avoid going to the dentist regularly due to anxiety. Anxiolytics dentistry is provided for anxious patients to remain conscious and be able to respond during a procedure. This form of light sedation takes the edge off anxiety-inducing dental surgeries by giving patients who fear dental work—a common fear—control over the level of sedation. A anti-anxiety drug will be prescribed to you if you choose to use anxiolytic dental sedation methods. This will allow you to be calm during the procedure. Since it is a lighter sedation, this method is not possible for more severe procedures that require invasive surgery. You should discuss your options with our dental sedation specialists before surgery.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is the most common form of sedation for dental procedures, and for good reason! (LINK to Nitrous Oxide cluster topic) Nitrous oxide can be utilized safely to provide comfort and anxiety relief during dental work, leaving your body quickly with no ill effect. Greater Endodontics offers many sedation options to help you feel comfortable during dental procedures, including nitrous oxide.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation allows the patient to be conscious throughout their endodontic procedure. Patients swallow a sedative pill that allows them to remain awake for the procedure. You will be able to respond to directives but have an elevated sense of calm by using this method of sedation. Many patients who use oral conscious sedation do not remember anything about the procedure. This method of sedation requires someone to drive you to and from your appointment and stay with you for six hours following the appointment.

IV Sedation

IV or intravenous sedation is a quick and effective form of sedation involving putting a needle into a patient’s vein. This is a very-fast acting method that will be painless and cause you to become drowsy. A second practitioner who specializes in sedation is there to ensure everything runs smoothly. IV sedation requires someone to bring you to your appointment, drive you home, and remain with you for six hours.

Worry-Free Care

At Greater Endodontics, our professional doctors have been recognized as among the best in the country. We are lucky to serve Utah patients with quality, affordable care twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. Our goal with any dental procedure is that you relax and feel comfortable with our capable professionals.

When possible, we love to recommend our alternative to root canals, the GentleWave procedure. This procedure is designed with you in mind, so if you are hesitating to book an appointment, ask us about this option today! It is a one-time procedure with permanent effects. GentleWave cleans your teeth where traditional root canals can’t, and it also decreases the healing process.

The advanced system uses fluid vortex to clean the root canal system, clearing debris and tissue that can cause infection. The GentleWave system even cleans bacteria on a microscopic level, so you can be confident that your smile will be restored.

Dental Sedation Aftercare

Regardless of what form of sedation you use, it’s important to remember the proper aftercare. Do not operate a vehicle, any heavy machinery, or make important decisions for 24 hours after a procedure. While you might feel great after a light sedative, any form of sedation can cause drowsiness and delayed reaction times that make driving and heavy lifting dangerous.

Your procedure may or may not involve sutures or stitches. We recommend a soft diet while your mouth is healing, as soreness and discomfort are a part of the healing process. Drink plenty of fluids to ensure a smooth healing process.

No matter what method of dental sedation you use, Greater Endodontics is pleased to offer you options. From the moment you walk in the door, our endodontics specialists ensure that you have a pleasant and comfortable experience. We go above and beyond for our patients by offering cutting-edge technology and alternatives to the standard endodontic procedures.

Great staff and service. If you have dental anxiety I recommend their services as the staff were very compassionate and fun. Also, I had laughing gas during my root canal which helped my anxiety so much!

Dr. Brimley performed quality work when redoing a root canal (done by another endodontist) that had gotten infected. He is very meticulous about cleaning the root area, disinfecting it, and sealing it. I hope this root canal will last - time will tell. He also has very friendly office staff and competent assistants.

I had a root canal on a back molar. I came in having pain in another tooth. I was impressed that Dr. Casper could find the exact tooth causing the pain. I felt very confident in Dr. Casper. He included me in the details of the procedure. No pain during the procedure. It was very reassuring. Evelyn, his assistant, was knowledgeable, and made my experience easier. The check out was easy and quick. Thank you!

Dr. Rhett Casper is amazing. He found what no other dentist has found. They missed one of the roots when they did a root canal procedure. That saved me 5k in implant and bone graph procedures. Definitely worth me getting a second opinion here.

Had a root canal procedure done yesterday by Dr Brimley. It was so slick and easy. I appreciated his humming, knowing he was relaxed and comfortable. He put the shot in so slow I didn’t feel anything. I’ll definitely be referring people to him. The rest of the office was also so nice and made sure I was comfortable. I am surprised I am not sore today. Highly Recommend Dr Brimley and Greater Endodontics.

I was treated very well, made comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Everyone was kind and professional. I was scheduled for a later date but got on the cancellation list and was able to get the procedure done a week early. Dr. Brinkley knows his stuff!!! Thank you for making this difficult time much more enjoyable.

I saw Dr. Larsen for a surgical procedure. He was so awesome! After the numbing I didn’t feel a thing. I can’t wait to see the end result. Big, big + is the infection will finally clear up. Thank you Dr. Larsen! See you Monday for stitches removal.

First root canal. It's never a pleasant experience when someone has hands and sharp tools in your mouth. I have to say, this was the best dental experience I have ever had. They made it as painless and stress-free as possible.
