Are you one of the many people who dread visiting the dentist due to fear or anxiety? If so, sedation dentistry could be the perfect solution for you. Offered at New Tempo Family Dental in Tempe, Arizona, sedation dentistry is a safe and effective method that helps patients relax during dental procedures. Sedation can be used for everything from a simple tooth filling to more invasive procedures. With the use of medication, patients can enter a state of deep relaxation, making the experience much more comfortable. Dr. Leonetti and her team are highly trained in sedation dentistry, ensuring you’re in safe hands.
The primary reason to consider sedation dentistry is to alleviate dental anxiety. Fear of dental procedures can prevent many people from seeking the care they need, leading to more serious oral health problems down the line. Sedation dentistry allows you to receive necessary dental treatments without fear or discomfort. It's also beneficial for those with a low pain threshold, those who can't sit still in the dentist's chair, those with very sensitive teeth, or those who need a large amount of dental work completed.
Sedation dentistry isn't just for those with dental fears - it can also make long procedures feel like they've only taken minutes!

Sedation dentistry significantly increases patient comfort. The fear and anxiety associated with dental procedures can lead to physical discomfort, including increased heart rate and high blood pressure. Sedation helps to alleviate these symptoms, allowing you to relax during your treatment.
Sedation dentistry can make dental procedures more efficient. When you're relaxed and comfortable, your dentist can work more effectively, often completing complex procedures in fewer appointments. This saves you time and can reduce the total cost of your dental care.
By making dental visits more comfortable, sedation dentistry encourages regular dental care, leading to improved oral health. Regular check-ups and treatments help prevent serious oral health issues and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Leonetti will discuss your medical history, your dental needs, and your anxiety level. This information will help him determine the best sedation method for you. She will explain the process in detail and answer any questions you may have.
On the day of your procedure, the sedation will be administered. This could be through inhaling nitrous oxide (laughing gas), taking a pill, or through an IV. The level of sedation can range from minimal, where you're awake but relaxed, to deep, where you're on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened.
