At Royal Oak Smiles in Royal Oak, MI, your comfort and peace of mind are always a priority. Our team offers a range of comfort-focused dental solutions, including sedation dentistry in select cases, to support patients who require additional care during treatment. With extensive experience and a patient-focused approach, Dr. Baran ensures that your dental care experience is gentle, personalized, and as stress-free as possible.
Understanding Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during specific dental procedures. At Royal Oak Smiles, it is primarily reserved for surgical procedures and for patients with special needs who may require additional support to safely and comfortably receive care.
When clinically indicated for eligible patients, sedation can help patients remain calm and comfortable while still being closely monitored by the dental team to ensure safety at every step.
When Sedation May Be Recommended
Sedation dentistry may be considered in limited situations, such as:
- Dental or oral surgery
- Patients with special healthcare needs who cannot tolerate treatment otherwise
Dr. Baran carefully evaluates each patient’s medical history, treatment needs, and overall health before determining whether sedation is appropriate.
What To Expect When Receiving Sedation
Your safety and comfort are always top priorities. Before any sedation is provided, your dentist will conduct a thorough review of your medical history and explain why sedation may be recommended for your specific situation. You’ll also receive clear instructions on how to prepare for your appointment.
During treatment, your vital signs are closely monitored, and after the procedure, you’ll be observed until it’s safe for you to return home.
Compassionate Care Focused on Comfort
Even when sedation is not indicated, our team uses a variety of comfort-focused techniques to help reduce anxiety and create a positive dental experience. We take the time to listen to your concerns, clearly explain procedures, and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, ensuring you feel supported and confident throughout your visit.
