At Dental Care of Corona, we understand that our patients may feel nervous or anxious about visiting their dentist. If you feel this way, we want you to know you're not alone, and we provide several options for sedation at our Corona, CA, dental office to help you comfortably receive the treatment you need.
Take the Edge Off and Feel at Ease with Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is our mildest form of dental sedation. It works efficiently to help you feel comfortable during dental treatment and then quickly leaves your system afterward, so no lingering side effects keep you from your normal activities. It is also safe for you to drive after treatment with nitrous oxide.
Experience Deeper Relaxation with Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation occurs through medication you take an hour before dental treatment. Patients feel as if they were asleep due to the nature of the medication, even though they're still responsive. The drug also has an amnesic effect, so most patients don't remember their dental treatment.
Sleep-Like Relaxation with IV Sedation
IV sedation is the deepest level of relaxation we offer. Dr. Brock Lorenz is certified to provide IV sedation, and he monitors your vital signs throughout your procedures and adjusts the medication as needed.
Most patients feel like they're sleeping throughout treatment with IV sedation, and they have little to no memory of their procedures. This type of deep dental sedation is ideal for these situations:
- Severe gag reflexes
- Patients who have difficulties sitting for long periods
- Those with severe dental fear or phobia
- Patients with special needs
- Those with extensive treatment plans who want to complete their procedures during one visit
