919-682-5327 Modern sedation dentistry allows us to offer sedation options for those patients who struggle with dental anxiety. Dental anxiety prevents patients from getting the care they need. But you don’t need to let your fears prevent you from having a healthy smile. At our dental practice, we can help. We offer our patients sedation dentistry to deliver quality care along with the best positive experience.
At the dental office of Dr. Ellis K. List in Durham, North Carolina, our goal is to help our patients feel safe, secure and stress-free during their treatment. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation to help our patients feel as calm and comfortable as possible during any dental procedure.
Popularly known as laughing gas, we offer nitrous oxide to help our patients relax and feel comfortable during their procedure. This is administered as a sedative gas mixed with oxygen which is inhaled during the procedure. You simply relax and breathe while we do the rest. Once the procedure is finished the effects of the gas will wear off and you will be good to go.
Next we offer oral sedation. You will simply need to take an oral sedative in pill form before your appointment to help you feel relaxed and calm when you come in. You will need to bring a friend or family member with you to drive you home after the procedure.
With these sedation options to help with your dental anxiety, you no longer have to fear going to the dentist or receiving treatment. We believe you deserve the best care possible, along with the best possible experience. To schedule your next visit with Dr. Ellis List, please call our dedicated dental team at 919-682-5327 today.
