I.V. and General Sedation Services in Beverly Hills
At Pasadena Dental Care, patients from Beverly Hills can benefit from specialized anesthesia services that allow for dental care in a safe and relaxed environment. These services are vital for individuals with special needs as well as those with medical challenges that often make traditional dental visits stressful or overwhelming. By providing this solution, we help patients access the essential care they might otherwise avoid due to discomfort or difficulty.
Benefits of Intravenous and General Sedation
We provide both intravenous (I.V.) sedation and complete general sedation as part of our anesthesia offerings, extending far beyond the lighter sedation techniques that are commonly employed for easing discomfort during dental procedures.
The patient is kept asleep during the dental procedure being performed.
This process allows dental professionals to carry out care without difficulty.
Commonly recommended for patients in need of advanced procedures such as extractions, root canals, and other forms of endodontic or periodontal care.
Common Mild Sedation Options
Although these options are often chosen for surgical or invasive treatments, they are also particularly effective for patients who come into the dental office already feeling apprehensive, nervous, or overwhelmed by the thought of treatment.
-
Administration of nitrous oxide, known widely as laughing gas
-
Injection of local anesthetic in the exact area requiring dental treatment
-
Use of numbing ointment directly on the gums and surrounding teeth
Our Board Certified Anesthesiologist
Our anesthesiology care is led by Dr. David Wyndhamsmith, a qualified M.D. physician and a board-certified anesthesiologist who serves directly within our practice. His role is to examine each patient’s overall health history and to choose the form of anesthesia that best matches the individual’s medical condition and level of need at the time of treatment.
During Your Visit
During the entire procedure, Dr. Wyndhamsmith stays in the room, doing the following:
Careful delivery of anesthesia prior to the start of treatment
Ongoing monitoring of the patient’s vital signs for safety
Immediate action taken if an emergency occurs during the procedure
Guidance through post-treatment recovery to ensure gradual awakening and reduced side effects
