Does even the thought of sitting in the dentist's chair make your palms sweat and your heart beat faster? Have you been postponing your dental treatment for years because of that familiar smell in clinics, the sounds made by the devices, or the fear of needles? You are not alone. Millions of people around the world experience "Dentophobia" (fear of dentists), and unfortunately, this postponement causes a simple cavity to lead to tooth loss.
As Atlantic Dental Turkey, we attach great importance not only to the physical health of our patients but also to their psychological comfort. You don't need to remain toothless, live with pain, or hide your smile because of your fears. With the Conscious Sedation (Sleep Dentistry) method we apply in our clinic, we completely zero out all this stress!
What is Sedation? What is the Difference from General Anesthesia?
Sedation is putting the patient into a state of deep sleep and relaxation through relaxing medications given intravenously by an expert anesthesiologist.
This procedure should not be confused with "General Anesthesia" performed in operating rooms where consciousness is completely shut down. While under sedation, your consciousness remains open, you can obey simple commands from the doctor like "open your mouth", and you can breathe on your own. But the miraculous part is this: You experience a feeling of deep relaxation; your sense of time disappears, you do not feel any pain, ache, or needle prick during the operation, and you do not remember the device sounds or what was done after the procedures are over.
Who is it Ideal For?
- Those with Extreme Fear of the Dentist: Patients with a fear of needles or a history of traumatic experiences.
- Those with a High Nausea (Gag) Reflex: It is a lifesaver for those who experience severe nausea when an instrument enters their mouth.
- Complex Operations That Will Take a Long Time: Patients who will undergo multiple tooth extractions, full mouth implants (All-on-4/6), and bone grafting on the same day feel as if procedures lasting hours took only 15 minutes.
- Our Patients with Limited Time: It is an excellent time-saver for our patients coming from abroad who want numerous procedures (extraction, implant, crown preparation) to be finished quickly in a single session.
