Does the thought of a dental appointment make your heart race? You’re not alone. For many people, dental anxiety is a significant barrier to receiving the care they need. This fear can lead to delaying or avoiding appointments, which allows small dental issues to become major problems. At Mantis Dentistry & Implant Center, we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile without stress and anxiety. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry to our patients in Wilmette, Evanston, and the North Shore.
Under the expert care of Dr. Dino Mantis, you can experience a completely different kind of dental visit—one that is calm, comfortable, and positive.
Sedation Dentistry Made Easy
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s an ideal solution for individuals with dental phobia, a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a bad gag reflex, or those who need extensive dental work completed in a single visit. The goal is to make you comfortable enough to receive necessary treatments, helping you maintain excellent oral health for years to come.
At Mantis Dentistry & Implant Center, we want to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible. We find that sedation allows even our most anxious patients to get the care they require without fear.
Safe and Effective Sedation Options
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Dr. Mantis and our team are highly trained in administering sedation and will carefully monitor you throughout your entire procedure. We offer several safe and effective options tailored to your specific needs and anxiety levels.
Oral Conscious Sedation: This is a popular choice for many patients. You will take a prescribed pill shortly before your appointment. While you will remain awake and able to communicate with Dr. Mantis, you will feel deeply relaxed and at ease. Many patients report having little to no memory of the procedure afterward, even though they were conscious the whole time. It’s a simple way to transform a stressful experience into a peaceful one.
Dental Anesthesia: For more complex procedures or for patients with severe anxiety, dental anesthesia provides a deeper level of sedation. This ensures you are completely comfortable and unaware during treatment. These methods are exceedingly safe and have become a normal and comforting part of modern dentistry.
Should You Consider Sedation?
If you have been putting off a check-up, cleaning, or a more involved procedure due to fear, sedation dentistry could be the perfect solution for you. It allows you to protect your oral health without the emotional toll that dental anxiety can take. Imagine undergoing a root canal, implant placement, or even a simple filling while feeling completely relaxed.
Don’t let fear compromise your health. Dr. Dino Mantis and the compassionate team at Mantis Dentistry & Implant Center are here to help you get the dental treatment you need in a supportive and stress-free environment.
