Dental anxiety can affect anyone, whether it’s a fear of pain, past negative experiences, or simply the unknown of a procedure. At Fremont Family Dentistry, we believe no one should feel hesitation about accessing the care they need to stay healthy and confident in their smile.
That’s why we offer advanced and compassionate sedation options designed to bring comfort and peace of mind, from the moment you walk through our doors in Fremont, NE to the time you leave with a healthier smile.
Why Dental Sedation Matters
If you’ve ever postponed or avoided a dental visit because of nerves, you’re not alone. Many patients, children and adults alike, experience dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry helps bridge that gap between fear and comfort, allowing patients to receive care in a relaxed and safe environment. It’s especially helpful for:
- Patients with previous traumatic dental experiences
- Individuals with a strong gag reflex or difficulty staying still
- People with heightened sensitivity or low pain thresholds
- Young children or individuals with special needs
At Fremont Family Dentistry, Dr. Adam Lamprecht and our trusted team take time to understand your concerns so we can tailor your care experience, with warmth, patience, and respect for your comfort level.
Your Sedation Dentistry Options
We offer multiple types of dental sedation to suit varying levels of anxiety and treatment needs. Our approach focuses on gentle, effective solutions that prioritize safety:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask, helping you feel calm within minutes. It wears off quickly, so you can resume your day afterward without lingering effects.
- Oral conscious sedation: A prescription medication taken before your appointment, ideal for moderate anxiety. You’ll feel deeply relaxed, though you'll remain conscious and able to respond during your visit.
- IV sedation: Administered by certified professionals, this option offers deeper sedation, ideal for complex procedures or patients with significant fear. You’ll likely remember little of the appointment.
Every form of sedation used at our practice is closely monitored and customized to ensure a safe experience. Your comfort is never an afterthought, it’s built into our care philosophy.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Sedation
Getting comfortable with sedation dentistry also means understanding the process. From the moment you schedule your appointment, our Fremont team walks you through each step so you feel confident and well-informed.
- Before sedation: We’ll go over your medical history, medications, and any previous sedation experiences. Clear pre-procedure instructions will be provided, especially if you're receiving oral or IV sedation.
- During your visit: You’ll be made comfortable in one of our cozy treatment rooms. Along with sedation, we use advanced tools like digital imaging and intraoral scanners to streamline care and reduce time in the chair, less time, less stress.
- Post-procedure recovery: Depending on the type of sedation used, you may need a family member or friend to accompany you home. We'll provide post-care instructions and be available to answer any follow-up questions.
