Dental Sedation in Provo, UT
Every person has their own personal tolerance for discomforts that may come from dental procedures, especially when it comes to root canals. Some people prefer nothing other than local anesthesia while others prefer to be sedated. Dr. Jon Jenson at Cascade Endodontics in Orem, UT understands this and provides three levels of sedation dentistry to make your visit as pleasant as possible.
He is one of the only endodontists in the area, and perhaps the only endodontist in Utah County to offer any form of sedation dentistry for his patients.
In fact, other endodontists are sending their patients who need sedation to Dr. Jenson for treatment! At Cascade Endodontics, we know that even thinking about getting a root canal can be stressful for patients, so we go out of our way to make the procedure as comfortable as we can.
Laughing Gas Sedation
Laughing gas sedation is used to reduce anxiety and produce a state of relaxation to help you through the dental procedure. This is an inexpensive method of sedation dentistry that comes recommended if it means the difference between peace and comfort instead of dental fear and anxiety for you.
Conscious Sedation
Conscious sedation, or oral conscious sedation, is the combination of laughing gas with a sedative hypnotic medication that is taken orally. This method of sedation dentistry will provide an even greater level of comfort but requires an evaluation appointment prior to the procedure and bringing an escort with you for the day of the procedure.
IV Sedation for Comfortable, Stress-Free Treatment
Dr. Jenson offers IV sedation to ensure a relaxed, pain-free experience for patients undergoing root canals and other endodontic procedures. As one of the only endodontists in Utah County providing sedation dentistry, he helps patients from Provo, Orem, and beyond feel completely at ease during treatment.
IV sedation is administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for precise control over your comfort level. While you remain conscious, you’ll feel deeply relaxed, and most patients have little to no memory of the procedure afterward. This is an excellent option for those with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those undergoing complex treatments.
Your safety is our top priority—we closely monitor your vital signs throughout your visit. Before your appointment, we’ll provide detailed instructions on how to prepare, including fasting guidelines and arranging for someone to drive you home. If you’re looking for expert endodontic care with the added comfort of IV sedation, schedule a consultation today.
