Dental Anxiety Disappears with Sedation Dentist Dr. Monteagudo

If the thought of going to the dentist sets off butterflies in your stomach, you aren't alone. Unfortunately, dental phobia prevents more than 50 percent of Americans from seeking dental treatment.

Cosmetic dentist Dr. Monteagudo understands dental fears and provides a number of measures to keep his patients at ease throughout treatment.

Sedation dentistry under an experienced dentist can alleviate even severe anxiety. And our team is always here to help you feel at ease as well. Additionally, we can adjust your sedation medication to fit your specific needs.

Sedation Dentistry in West Allis, WI

We offer various sedation options and always use anesthesia when treating your smile invasively. For example, if we're providing dental implants in Allis, WI, we always make sure the treatment location is numb.

First, to make sure you're a good candidate for dental sedation, we take a health history and talk to you about your apprehension, especially if you're a new patient to our dental office. Then your dentist discusses the various options with you.

Sedation Dentistry Options

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is sometimes called laughing gas, and it is safe for patients of all age groups. With this sedation option, inhaled through a mask, you'll feel detached and tranquil while Dr. Monteagudo cares for your smile. Then, when we remove the mask, you'll feel like yourself again and even be able to drive yourself home and continue with your plans for the day.

Oral Dental Sedation

Oral sedation is a pill taken prior to treatment. With this option, you may not recall many aspects of your procedure.

Sedation dentistry might be beneficial if you identify with any of the following:

You are nervous in the dental setting or around dental instruments
You tend to gag easily during dental treatment
You suffer from specific medical conditions
You have multiple procedures at one time

Your dentist can also combine nitrous oxide and oral sedation therapies for ultimate relaxation.

Besides numbing the treatment area and providing custom sedation dentistry, we can also try other means to help you feel relaxed. Sometimes it is as simple as understanding your treatment and the steps required. Your dentist can talk to you about what to expect during your dental appointment and check-in with you every step of the way. We never want fear to keep you from quality dentistry!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the placement of implants painful? How long does it take?

Everyone is unique and will have a different reaction to the implant placement procedure. In general, most patients feel very little discomfort during placement. In fact, we often hear from our patients that the procedure was much easier than they anticipated - easier, in fact, than having a tooth extracted.

Sedation Dentistry

But at WisconsinSmiles we understand the importance of helping our patients achieve a healthy smile with minimal discomfort. That is why we offer personalized sedation dentistry to help you overcome any anxiety and receive treatment while in a comfortable, relaxed state. We offer oral sedation where Dr. Monteagudo will prescribe a calming medication for you to take before you arrive for your procedure. The type of medication will be selected on your needs and level of anxiety.

The length of the procedure will also vary from patient to patient, and may take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. We will be able to give you a more precise time frame after we evaluate your needs.

There’s a lot to know about getting dental implants. Dr. Monteagudo and our team will explain the process in detail, answer all your questions, and make sure that you fully understand the procedure. Please contact our West Allis office to schedule an appointment.
