What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is performed for dental procedures for anxious patients by administering medications to help them relax. Many patients avoid getting the required dental help because of their fear of the dentist. Sedation dentistry is performed to ensure that nervous patients enjoy healthy mouths and teeth.

What are the types of dental sedation?

The different types of dental sedation are; inhalation sedation, for patients requiring mild sedation also called anxiolysis; oral sedation, by asking patients to swallow a pill; TENS, using electrical impulses to numb the area; topical anaesthesia, using a swab to numb the area; or intra-venous sedation, for patients requiring moderate sedation and general anaesthesia for patients requiring deep sedation. General anaesthesia is used for patients only in a hospital and not in a dentist chair.

Is Sedation Dentistry painful?

Oral sedation, inhalation sedation, TENS and topical sedation are not painful. Intra-venous sedation and general anaesthesia need to be injected and patients may feel pain when the sedative is injected.

When can I travel by air after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should travel by air two days after sedation dentistry. They should take the advice of their dentist before embarking on their journey.   

How long does recovery after Sedation Dentistry take?

Recovery from dental sedation takes between 40 to 90 minutes. Recovery depends on the type of sedation administered.  

What after care is required after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should rest for at least three hours after sedation dentistry. They should not eat for at least four hours, until the anaesthesia wears off. They should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should resume work at least one day after sedation dentistry. They should not smoke or drink alcohol for at least two days after sedation dentistry. They should follow all dietary prescriptions given by their dentist correctly.

The entire staff was so pleasant, easy to talk with, and the service I received was top notchLeif, US, 06 02 23

When I contacted Urzola, Christina took control and was so helpful with my Dental plan, hotel accommodations, pretty much any and all questions I had, she answered the quickly and helped me every step of the way. Doctor Urzola had also reached out to consult with me which I thought was very helpful, and a real nice personal touch, it mattered to me. I sent x-rays and we all discussed a dental plan, including costs. I had shopped them around with 2 other oral surgeons, comparing prices. Urzola was right in line with others. When I finally arrived in Costa Rica, their driver who had sent me a confirmation the day prior confirming everything ( which is a stress relief when traveling) my flight arrived late in evening. They were right there to pick me up and bring me to a clean, reputable hotel (no charge) so I was already blown away by them. When I met with the team the next day to say hi, Doctor Urzola came out, shook my hand, we talked, looked at my x-rays, looked into my mouth. He and his staff made suggestions to me about my plan, we made adjustments to the plan of removing all my top teeth, to replace with full implants, and close to the same on bottom of my mouth. We came up with a new plan which was better than the suggestions I got in the states. The new plan which after a lengthy review that first day, The new plan was thousands of dollars less, much less invasive to my mouth, and a solid and sensible use of what I had that didn’t need removal. Dr Urzola could’ve done what I presented for a plan, and made much more money for himself and his staff. But, they looked out for my best interest and my finances The entire staff was so pleasant, easy to talk with, and the service I received was top notch. I could not be happier. The original plan was over 45k in the states, even with travel, a mini vaca while here. The costs of my intended plan, more so the plan they suggested and we went with were a value that has made me so happy !!! I can’t stop smiling and showing off my new teeth and smile. It has given me great confidence smiling and I feel like I have a new life with a perfect set of chompers. I am thoroughly pleased and would recommend Urzola Dental to everybody!! My experience was incredibly satisfying Thank you Guys!!!! Anybody can call me and talk to me about what I had done for work and my experience!!!

Toothlessness and unfixed tooth replacements can cause problems while eating and speaking. It is common for those who wear dentures to lose their taste sensations (salty, sour, bitter, hot) as the taste buds are covered by denture adhesive. In addition, chewing can be difficult resulting in severe digestive problems. Dentures start to move after a while due to jaw bone loss. Moving dentures can cause bruising and sores in the mouth, making everyday life uncomfortable. Dental implants are very similar to natural teeth in function and appearance. Implants improve the ability to taste and chew, another reason why implants are an ideal replacement for missing teeth. Dental implants act as artificial roots, which have been inserted into the jaw bone to fuse together with the bone and are then loaded with crowns or a bridge to provide firm, stable teeth.

I had only a few days left in Costa Rica but wanted to get a couple of replacement mouth guards. I used the WhatClinic site and found that Prisma Dental had good reviews and was located nearby. They were extremely accommodating and responsive. I was able to get two new mouth guards (ready within the hour!) that exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Prisma Dental
