For those who prefer to reduce any added anxiety during a dental procedure, Tysons Corner Dental Center’s team of highly trained and certified anesthesiologists can provide a mild sedation, which serves to relax and calm a patient and relieve any pain during treatment. Our team of anesthesiologists recommends the following sedation treatments to make your procedure a stress-free and painless experience:

Nitrous oxide
With nitrous oxide conscious sedation, you inhale this extremely safe nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture. A light tingling feeling is often experienced as well as an altered sense of time. Recovery from inhalation sedation is quite rapid. Most patients may return to their work, drive a motor vehicle, or operate machinery without undue concern for their well-being.

Intra-oral Sedation
With no risk of side effects or interactions with other medications, intra-oral sedation requires the patient take two pills orally, one an hour before the procedure and one upon arrival at the dental center.

While Dr. Osseiran has a flawless reputation for providing consistently gentle and virtually pain-free treatment, these techniques for lightly sedating a patient have proven very effective and can be an easy way to put your mind and body at ease.
