Sedation for Oral Surgery in New York, NY – Comfortable and Safe Care by Dr. Ronald L. Biondo
Many patients feel anxious or fearful about oral surgery. At our New York office, Dr. Ronald L. Biondo, a highly experienced oral surgeon, offers a range of sedation options to ensure your comfort and relaxation during any procedure. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgery, sedation can help you feel at ease.
What is Sedation in Oral Surgery?
Sedation in oral surgery involves the use of medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. The level of sedation can range from mild relaxation to deep sedation, depending on the needs and preferences of the patient. This allows for a more comfortable experience and helps reduce anxiety and pain.
Types of Sedation We Offer:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask, providing relaxation while keeping you awake.
- Oral Sedation: Medication taken by mouth that helps you relax but allows you to remain conscious.
- IV Sedation: Administered through an intravenous line, this deeper level of sedation allows for greater relaxation while still being awake.
- General Anesthesia: In cases of more complex procedures or severe anxiety, general anesthesia may be used to render you completely unconscious.
Dr. Biondo will help you choose the most appropriate sedation method based on your specific needs and the complexity of the procedure.
Why Choose Sedation for Oral Surgery?
Sedation offers several benefits for patients undergoing oral surgery:
- Reduced Anxiety: Sedation helps calm your nerves, making the procedure much less stressful.
- Pain Management: Sedation, combined with local anesthesia, ensures that you feel no pain during the procedure.
- Increased Comfort: For longer or more invasive procedures, sedation helps you remain comfortable throughout the surgery.
- Time Efficiency: Sedation can make it seem as if time passes quickly, making longer procedures more manageable.
