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. With a variety of methods to help you through a dental procedure, our team is confident that you will overcome your fears about dental work.

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. We hope that you schedule a consultation with us for the best dental care of your life! It is our commitment to care and empathy for patients that distinguishes Greater Endodontics as the leading endodontic professionals in Utah.

Dr. Casper was amazing! They got me in on a short notice for a root canal for a tooth that was causing me severe pain. Dr. Casper was thorough and explained the entire process and was very kind. I left numb, but 4 hours later when the numbing was worn off, I was pain free! I add minimal pain from the injections and 4 days later I was back to normal. Thank you to all the staff and Dr. Casper!

They did an excellent job on redoing my 20yr old root canals, they got me in and completed the task in a couple of hours, so I could get to my dentist to have my crowns restored and everything was done in an excellent manner. I highly recommend Greater Endodontics, especially their gentle wave process that cleaned up my infection at the base of my root canal.

I love this endodontist office in Riverton! If you need a nearly pain-free root canal, get a referral to this office. They use "Gentle Wave" technology to clean out the root canal to give you the best healing outcome. The next day after the procedure you won't feel any pain! Dr. Casper is a pro, and the kindest man, with the kindest staff ever. The entire office will treat you like gold!

4/23/25 I was scared for the procedure. Dr Casper was going to come in on the side of my mouth to remove an infected root that he had already done a root canal on, 2 years ago. They offer free follow ups yearly to make sure things are alright. The shot is probably the worst and I hardly felt them. He was quicker than expected, but thorough. When he put in the stitches, he redid 1 or 2 of them to make sure they were the best for me. I really liked how he was so positive with his assistant, Ebby, who did awesome, too. Dr Casper was so calm and positive, that it put me at ease. For something that I was so afraid of, I actually came out with a smile. The pain has been minimal. I have had 3 doses of Tylenol. I might need 1 more...or not. I didn't need anything else. I can't take ibuprofen so the swelling is a bit more. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND GREATER ENDODONTICS OF RIVERTON. They have a special procedure they do with their regular root canals that clean it out better. It is evident in the exrays, I think.

I had a root canal done a few years ago, which resulted in always having pain and problems with. The dentist that was responsible for the root canal never referred me to a specialist or cared about my situation; telling me that I'd have to live with the pain, as this was normal. A few months ago, the pain became much worse and then a few weeks ago my face had become swollen with so pain, I couldn't sleep or eat. I found a new dentist that listened to me, he prescribed an antibiotic and referred me to Greater Endodontics, as I now had an infection with holes in my bone from the infection. I was so upset, coming home and crying as I've always had healthy teeth and taken care of my teeth. I was very worried, scared and in the most pain I had ever been in. I haven't had any problems with my teeth, but this root canal and crown have been a nightmare to deal with. I met with Dr. Rhett Casper for a consultation. He was so kind, understanding and listened to my concerns as well as answered my questions. I made an appointment after he told me his recommendations. Again, I was so scared, worried, etc., for my upcoming appointment. Dr. Casper and his assistant were so caring, calm and understanding. My appointment went so much better than I expected with little anxiety or pain involved. It's now a waiting game, watching for one year to see if it's been resolved and if my bone has healed. I am absolutely so relieved and happy with my results! I didn't have any pain after the numbing wore off (I had horrible pain after the first root canal and numbing wore off), no pain what so ever! It's such a relief to be pain free compared to the last few years. If I ever need any type of Endodontics work done in the future, I am not having my dentist do it, I will be returning to Dr. Casper at Greater Endodontics of Riverton.
