IV Sedation
Burns holds an IV Sedation Permit and describes IV sedation as an option for more complex procedures. Patients remain responsive during treatment while entering a deeply relaxed state, and local anesthesia is used separately for pain control.
Wisdom Teeth
Burns is known for removing impacted wisdom teeth and has been performing wisdom tooth extractions since 1976. The practice uses IV sedation for impacted wisdom tooth removal, with most procedures taking approximately an hour.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives can be used to reduce dental anxiety before a procedure. Burns' website explains that medication may be taken the night before or approximately 30 minutes to an hour before an appointment, depending on the patient's anxiety and treatment.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide provides a mild level of relaxation through an inhaled mask. Burns states that it takes effect within a few minutes and that its effects generally wear off within approximately five minutes after use.
Select Oral
Procedures & Surgery
Burns uses IV sedation for impacted wisdom teeth, full-mouth extraction cases for immediate dentures, and gum surgery. Sedation is incorporated into appropriate procedures to make more complex treatment easier to experience.
Comfortable Accommodation
Burns goes beyond sedation to make the environment more comfortable. The practice offers blankets, weighted blankets, head cushions, and choice of music. Patients may also bring their own headphones or earbuds and listen to their device. Other accommodations can be discussed before an appointment.
From routine treatment to wisdom teeth removal and more complex procedures, Burns Dental offers personalized sedation options to help you feel comfortable and at ease.
