Oral Sedation

Experience Sedation Dentistry: Our Gentle and Stress-free Approach to Dental Care

We understand that the thought of a dentist can be a source of anxiety. But regardless of your fear, you must seek the dental care services you need, and we are here to make that a possibility. At Mark H Wright DDS, we combine a personalized and relationship-based dental care approach with sedation dentistry for a pleasant and comfortable experience in our Colorado Springs, Colorado, dental clinic.

Sources of Dental Fear

Ever wonder why you have a fear of the dentist? Several factors may contribute to dental fear and anxiety. Some include:

  • A past negative experience at a dental office
  • Past trauma to the head
  • Fear of loss of control
  • Viewing your mouth as a personal area and putting your guard up by viewing the dentist as invading your personal space
  • Stories of negative dental experiences from watching movies or hearing from friends and relatives
  • Trust issues
  • Fear of the unknown

Whatever the cause of your dental fear, Dr. Mark Wright will walk with you to identify the source and then recommend painless dentistry to combat your dental phobia.

Oral Conscious Dentistry: Our Approach to Pain-Free Dentistry

For patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, Dr. Wright prescribes an oral pill that you take an hour or so before your appointment. Once you take this pill, you remain conscious throughout the procedure, but with a deep level of relaxation as the dentist works on you. After the procedure, you may have little or no recollection of the treatment details.

Since the oral sedative makes you drowsy, you must have someone drive you in and out of our office and plan to take the rest of the day off.
