Dental implants are one of the most effective solutions for replacing missing teeth, offering a permanent and natural-looking restoration. However, for many patients, the idea of undergoing an implant procedure can be overwhelming due to anxiety, fear, or concerns about discomfort.
At 918 Dentist of Glenpool, we prioritize patient comfort by offering sedation dentistry for dental implant procedures. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or undergoing a full mouth restoration, our sedation options ensure a pain-free, stress-free experience.
Under the expert care of Dr. Mohanna, a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and one of the top implant dentists in the Tulsa area, patients can feel confident knowing they are receiving high-quality treatment in a relaxing environment.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is an ideal solution for those who:
✔ Experience dental anxiety or fear
✔ Have a low pain threshold
✔ Require extensive dental work
✔ Have difficulty sitting still for long procedures
✔ Have a strong gag reflex
For dental implants, sedation not only makes the procedure more comfortable, but it also allows our team to work efficiently while minimizing any discomfort for the patient.
Types of Sedation Used for Dental Implants
At 918 Dentist of Glenpool, we offer several sedation options to suit each patient’s needs:
1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
● Mild sedation option inhaled through a mask
● Helps patients feel relaxed but fully awake
● Effects wear off quickly, allowing patients to resume normal activities
2. Oral Conscious Sedation
● Medication taken before the procedure to induce deep relaxation
● Patients remain awake but feel drowsy and detached from anxiety
● Ideal for moderate to severe dental anxiety
3. IV Sedation (Intravenous Sedation)
● Delivered through an IV for deeper relaxation
● Patients remain conscious but may not remember the procedure
● Great for patients undergoing multiple implants or full mouth rehabilitation
4. General Anesthesia (for Complex Cases)
● Induces complete unconsciousness
● Typically recommended for extensive surgical procedures
● Performed in a controlled setting for maximum safety
Can You Be Awake During a Dental Implant Procedure?
Yes! Many patients remain awake and responsive during their dental implant surgery, thanks to the effects of nitrous oxide or oral sedation. These methods keep patients comfortable and anxiety-free without putting them fully to sleep. However, if a deeper level of sedation is needed, IV sedation or general anesthesia can be used to ensure a fully relaxed state.
During your consultation at 918 Dentist of Glenpool, Dr. Mohanna will discuss your health history, anxiety levels, and personal preferences to determine the best sedation option for you.
Why Choose Sedation for Your Dental Implant Procedure?
✔ Pain-Free Experience – Sedation significantly reduces discomfort during surgery.
✔ Relieves Anxiety – Eliminates fear and nervousness so you can relax.
✔ Smoother Procedure – Allows Dr. Mohanna and his team to work more efficiently.
✔ Minimizes Gag Reflex – Prevents discomfort for patients who struggle with dental impressions or instruments in their mouth.
✔ Memory-Free Treatment – Many sedation methods cause temporary amnesia, meaning you may not remember the procedure at all.
