What do you know about sedation dentistry?
Due to prior torture at the hands of dentists when I was a child, I am scared to death of going to the dentist. I know that I really need to go and I’ve seen some commercials for "pain-free" and "worry free" dentists. From what I gather, they put you under conscious sedation (not exactly sure what that is either) and do all the dental work while you are basically asleep. Opinions?
my opinion is that hes wayyyyyy expensive where i live….. 400$ the first 30min…..40$ every 15min thereafter………they put you under sedation using an iv medication called versed…
How much does sedation dentistry usually cost?
I’m planning on getting sedation work done this fall. I’ve heard that most insurance companies wont pay for the sedation-does anyone know how much it generally costs for the sedation itself?
IV sedation is used mostly by Oral Surgeons/ Maxillo facial surgeons that perform Wisdom teeth extractions, or other facilal surgeries. If you have private insurance at 80%-100% coverage, it may already be covered. However they willl explain your patient portion at the dental visit. Note: IT IS NOT YOUR DECISION TO CHOOSE IV SEDATION JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO. Only the Dr. can suggest the type of sedation you will need. Because of many factors: reactions, necessity, requirement…………it depends on the procedure. Another option that you CAN request is NITROUS OXIDE (laughing gas). In which you are conscious of the procedure, but you are mostly relaxed…however you will still be given anesthesia: (Lidocaine, Septocaine, Marcaine, Citanest, whatever the doctor chooses) Before you are given the anesthesia some TOPICAL ANESTHETIC GEL will be swabbed in the injection site, to help comfort the needle. So like I mentioned, it depends on the procedur, insurance, and requirement. You may call your Dental Insurance as well, to find out your coverage. Good Luck!!!!

How much more does sedation dentistry cost as opposed to regular dentistry?
I need close to $2,000 of work done on my teeth, but I get extremely nervous when I know I have a dentist appointment comming up. When I am at the appointment, I get even more scared and i’ve had a panic attack. I’ve been reading people’s experiences with sedation dentistry and it sounds like the way to go for me. I am also aware that it does cost more, but my question is how much more? As I stated before, I need around 2,000 dollars of work done, so approximately how much would that be if I took the sedation route?
Only your dentist can tell you what the difference would be. Depends if you have insurance as well.
It can be a bit more, but it is worth every penny.
