Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety can cause you to avoid important trips to the dentist, compromising both your oral health and the appearance of your smile.

You are not alone if you experience anxiety about seeing a dentist...
Types of Sedation Dentistry
Depending on the dentistry procedure being performed and each individual's particular oral health needs, our highly-experienced dentists can provide a variety of sedation options to help patients relax and lessen any fears they may have about their appointment. Anesthesia is safely administered by our fully certified and extraordinarily well-trained team of dental professionals.
Nitrous Oxide
As a form of light sedation, nitrous oxide is a gas that leaves patients in a state of relaxation. Administered by placing a mask over your nose, nitrous oxide sedation is easily controlled and wears off quickly. As a result, it is the only form of sedation where you may drive yourself home following your appointment. Because it is so safe and easy to control, nitrous oxide is often used for children who suffer from dental anxiety. Commonly known as "laughing gas," it might even cause a giggle or two.
Oral Sedation
When moderate sedation is required, prescription medication taken before a procedure provides patients an added layer of relaxation with oral conscious sedation. A sedative medication taken before arriving at your dental appointment helps reduce anxiety especially in patients who have fear of the dentist. Modern dental sedatives not only help with a sense of calm but also can reduce your sense of pain. However, you should have someone standing by to drive you home from your appointment as you may be feeling a bit groggy after the procedure.
IV Sedation
The sedative medications we administer via an IV effectively reduce any pain or anxiety while receiving dental care at Advance Oral Surgery of Tampa. IV sedation is often a helpful option for patients with a strong gag reflex, extreme dental sensitivity, and widespread oral health issues. Although it does not put you to sleep, this form of "twilight" sedation dentistry leaves you relaxed during your appointment and without any memory of it afterward. As a result, IV sedation can be enormously beneficial to patients with extreme anxiety who have major dental health issues by allowing them to drastically improve their dental health.
Dramatic Results Can Be Achieved While You're Relaxed and Free of Anxiety
Many kinds of dental surgical procedures, from wisdom teeth removal to dental implants to full mouth reconstruction, can be performed by our board-certified oral surgeons with dental sedation. You can rest easy in our comfortable and cushy dental chair during your appointment thanks to calming nitrous oxide, an IV, or oral medications. We even offer aromatherapy to set a peaceful, spa-like mood when you come in for surgical treatment.

My visit here was great, from start to finish. They explained everything that was going to happen with my daughter and made us as comfortable as they can. The nurse even came out to give me an update on the progress and let me know she was doing great. Thank you to the doctor and staff for being awesome!

Amazing, took the time to explain everything in full and even sprayed my son with freeze spray to assure him the IV won't hurt. We got an appointment really fast and the wait time was very fast. I've already recommended them to friends after only 1 visit.

Fear of the dentist keeps a good number of patients from receiving the dental care they desperately need. Even worse, allowing the health of your gums and teeth to decline can have an adverse effect on your general health, as well. Studies have shown a link between periodontal disease, heart disease, and other serious health issues. Don't let fear of the dentist impact your overall wellbeing. Sedation dentistry at our oral surgery office serving Tampa, Valrico, and Land O Lakes, FL, can make dental work virtually free of discomfort and anxiety.
Regular dental care is essential to a healthy smile. With sedation dentistry, patients find it possible to receive the treatment they need to maintain their dental health without getting overwhelmed by anxiety. As patients begin to enjoy these benefits, they generally have a more positive association with the dentist. In some cases, this lays the groundwork for receiving dental treatment without sedation dentistry to help them relax.
Sedation dentistry and its many forms combined with local anesthesia can relieve your anxiety about what you are thinking could be a painful or uncomfortable visit.

Bethany Hardin

Went in today to have 2 wisdom teeth out. Everyone was so sweet and kind. Was given stuff to take before the surgery that relaxed me. I didn't feel the IV go in and I don't remember going under. I don't remember anything aside from getting home. No pain several hours after surgery. Given stuff to take for pain.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed on Friday and only had minimal pain. The entire process was very easy and informative. From scheduling the appt in 5 days, to verifying insurance to consult and procedure on same day, every interaction with the staff was positive. Sheena, Dr. Edward's assistant was very caring and explained the procedure in great detail in layman's terms.They have a multitude of sedation options which was appreciated. Dr. Edwards took extra time with my daughter to explain the entire procedure and put her at ease. She woke up from IV sedation and told me on the way home that she didn't think they did the procedure as she couldn't feel a thing. I would not hesitate to refer neighbors or friends to this office.

We can't offer you medication to ease your anxiety over procedure costs but we can do the next best thing - offering you financing options. We realize that some procedures are only partially covered, or not covered at all, by insurance, possibly saddling you with significant out-of-pocket fees. That's why we accept payment through our own affordable in-house financing plan, as well as through third-party financing companies which can provide you with convenient monthly payment plans. This way you can receive the oral health care you deserve, regardless of budgetary limitations.
