Mint Hill Dentistry, Serving Matthews and Charlotte, Offers Sedation Dentistry

At Mint Hill Dentistry, our dentists understand that many people suffer from dental anxiety. Our practice, which serves Matthews, Mint Hill, and the Charlotte area, offers a variety of sedation dentistry options so that you can relax comfortably during your dental treatment. The term "sleep" dentistry is actually a misnomer. Dentists who advertise "sleep" dentistry are actually administering medications that help reduce the anxieties of a patient, and in many cases the patient does not remember the visit. However, to be truly put to "sleep", general anesthesia is required.

Patients undergoing treatment at our Charlotte, Matthews, and Mint Hill-area dental office can feel confident knowing the dentists at Mint Hill Dentistry offer a variety of sedation options. Whether patients have extreme phobias of dental treatment or they are medically compromised, our sedation dentists are experienced in helping their patients achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.

I.V. Sedation / Oral Sedation Dentistry

For patients who are anxious or fearful of having necessary dental procedures, the sedation dentists of Mint Hill Dentistry, serving the Charlotte and Mint Hill area, provide a variety of sedation methods for their patients. I.V. sedation and oral sedation are often referred to as "sleep" dentistry; however, these methods of sedation are actually "conscious" sedation as patients are able to respond to simple instructions. The benefits of receiving dental care with these very effective methods of sedation may include the patient feeling a state of deep relaxation, hazy memories of their visit, and an altered sense of time. Patients who have opted to undergo dental treatment with I.V. or oral sedation should have a friend or family member drive them to and from their dental appointment.

Sedation dentistry can also help a patient undergo an involved procedure such as the placement of dental implants. Our Mint Hill and Charlotte-area practice may recommend sedation dentistry to a patient undergoing several procedures in a single appointment such as the placement of porcelain veneers and a tooth-colored filling. I.V. sedation dentistry can be an excellent method of combating boredom and impatience and can also be a good solution for an extremely dental phobic patient when therapeutic dentistry and relaxation techniques have failed.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide is one of the most popular methods of sedation dentistry used at our Mint Hill and Charlotte-area practice. Although not considered true sedation dentistry, nitrous oxide can be of considerable benefit to anxious patients. Dental patients treated with nitrous oxide experience an almost euphoric sense of calm, and because of the analgesic qualities of the gas they also experience little discomfort, if any, during dental treatment.

Porcelain Veneers

For patients whose teeth are gapped, chipped, discolored, crooked, or irregularly shaped; porcelain veneers provide a simple method for restoring a smile to its former brilliance. Porcelain veneers are made of wafer-thin, tooth-colored materials, so they can mask the imperfections of a patient’s smile, and yet appear completely natural.
