Sedation Dentistry in Newnan, GA

Nitrous oxide is a gentle, fast-acting form of sedation used to help patients relax during dental treatment. The medication is inhaled through a small, comfortable mask placed over the nose and begins working within minutes.

Patients typically remain awake and responsive while feeling calm and at ease throughout the procedure. Once treatment is complete, the nitrous oxide is turned off and the effects wear off quickly, allowing most patients to return to normal activities shortly after their appointment.

Oral sedation uses prescription medication taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed during treatment. Many patients feel drowsy and comfortable while still remaining awake and able to respond to instructions.

This option is ideal for patients with moderate dental anxiety or for longer procedures. Because the medication can cause lingering drowsiness, patients receiving oral sedation must arrange for a trusted adult to drive them to and from their appointment.

For patients who require a deeper level of relaxation, IV sedation will soon be available at Dental Wellness Newnan. IV sedation is administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing the level of sedation to be carefully monitored and adjusted throughout treatment for maximum comfort and safety.

Patients receiving IV sedation typically remember little to nothing about the procedure and often feel as though the appointment passed very quickly.

Because IV sedation requires additional preparation, patients will receive detailed instructions prior to treatment, including fasting guidelines. An escort will also be required to accompany the patient to the appointment and drive them home afterward.
