Colorado Springs Dental Sedation | Tuttle Family Dentistry

Comfortable Dental Visits, Anxiety-Free Care

At Tuttle Family Dentistry, we understand that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. That's why we offer a range of safe and effective dental sedation options to ensure your comfort and peace of mind during any procedure. Our dental sedation services include:

‍Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) Sedation: A mild sedative inhaled through a mask, helping you relax while remaining fully conscious.
Oral Conscious Sedation: A prescribed pill taken before your appointment, inducing a deeper state of relaxation, with many patients experiencing little to no memory of the procedure.
IV Sedation: Administered intravenously for a deeper level of sedation, allowing you to remain conscious but in a sleep-like state.
Solea® All-Tissue Laser: An advanced dental laser that enables virtually pain-free and anesthesia-free procedures on both hard and soft tissues.
‍

These advanced techniques and sedation options are designed to alleviate dental anxiety, reduce discomfort, and make your dental experience as pleasant as possible. Our experienced team will work with you to determine the most appropriate sedation method based on your individual needs and the complexity of the procedure.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) Sedation

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a gentle sedative administered through a comfortable nose mask. It induces a state of relaxation while keeping you fully awake and responsive. The effects wear off quickly after the procedure, allowing you to resume your daily activities without delay.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed pill approximately an hour before your appointment. This method provides a deeper level of relaxation, often resulting in little to no memory of the procedure. Due to its lasting effects, you'll need someone to drive you to and from the appointment.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is administered directly into the bloodstream, offering a deeper level of sedation for more extensive procedures. While you'll remain conscious, you'll be in a sleep-like state, with minimal awareness of the procedure. This method requires thorough evaluation and monitoring by our trained professionals.

Solea® All-Tissue Laser

The Solea® All-Tissue Laser represents cutting-edge dental technology, allowing for virtually pain-free and anesthesia-free procedures on both hard and soft tissues. Its precision and efficiency make treatments faster and more comfortable, reducing the need for traditional drills and needles.

Is Dental Sedation Safe?

Yes, when administered by trained professionals, dental sedation is safe. At Tuttle Family Dentistry, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history and current medications to determine the most suitable sedation method. Throughout the procedure, your vital signs are closely monitored to ensure your safety and comfort.
