Sedation Dentistry

What are the different options for sedation during dental treatment?

Here at West Hills Dental center we offer many levels of sedation to make sure you are as comfortable as possible and to make sure you leave us smiling!

We offer: Minimal, Moderate, Deep, and General Anesthesia Sedation.

Minimal Sedation is the lightest form of sedation, where you remain fully awake but relaxed. Dr. Little offers Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) which is provided through a nose mask and once the appointment is complete we have you then breathe oxygen so that it is completely out of your system and you can drive home! Nitrous Oxide is the only form of sedation that you will be able to drive yourself to and from your appointment with us, all others will require you to have a ride. Another option is to have Dr. Little write a prescription for an oral sedative that the you take before arriving at the office for your appointment.

Moderate Sedation keeps you conscious but deeply relaxed. Typically we see that patients slur their words and do not remember much of the procedure. In this category, Dr. Little offers either a higher dose of an oral sedative or a low level of IV sedation. IV Sedation is when Dr. Little administers sedatives through a vein.

Deep Sedation puts you on the edge of consciousness. In this case, patients will not remember the procedure at all and in some cases the day. Dr. Little offers this in IV sedation form in which he administers the sedatives through a vein.

General Anesthesia makes you completely unconscious and unaware of the procedure. When we utilize general anesthesia here at West Hills Dental Center, Dr. Little will bring in an anesthesiologist to administer the required medications.

We work closely with Dr. Enrique Abreu through Limelight Group and have for many many years!
