For Those Who Are Afraid of Dental Treatment – Seoul Of Dental Clinic Sedation Anesthesia Guide

“There is a way to receive treatment without fear, comfortably, and safely”

Even sitting in a dental chair makes many people’s hearts race and their hands sweat.

In particular, treatments such as implants, wisdom tooth extraction, and root canal treatment, which require keeping your mouth open for a long time, can feel difficult to undergo because of fear and tension.

At our Songpa dental clinic, Seoul Of Dental Hospital, we provide an environment where these patients can receive care comfortably and safely through conscious sedation anesthesia.

What Is Sedation Anesthesia?

“Sedation anesthesia” is, quite literally, a method of receiving treatment while in a relaxed state that feels like sleep.

Unlike general anesthesia, it does not completely cause loss of consciousness.

Treatment is carried out while you breathe naturally, with reduced pain and tension.

✅ Conscious, but with little memory of the treatment ✅ Reduced pain, anxiety, and fear ✅ Spontaneous breathing maintained ✅ Fast recovery and almost no side effects

Sedation Anesthesia Is Recommended For These People

1️⃣ People with a strong fear of dental treatment

2️⃣ People who have severe gagging or nausea during treatment

3️⃣ People who need long procedures, such as placing multiple implants

4️⃣ People who want to complete several treatments at once

In addition, it is also very useful for people with dental phobia, post-traumatic anxiety, or those who had a bad experience with anesthesia in the past.

The Difference Between General Anesthesia and Sedation Anesthesia

Sedation anesthesia at Seoul Of Dental Hospital is not simply a matter of administering medication, but is operated with university-hospital-level equipment and a real-time monitoring system.

✅ Real-time measurement of oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure ✅ Emergency medications and equipment always on hand ✅ Recovery room operated after sedation → you can rest before going home ✅ Sedation concentration adjusted to each patient

Before every sedation procedure, we check for systemic conditions through blood tests and a medical interview, and prepare so that even patients with underlying conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease can receive treatment safely.

Sedation Implant Treatment Is Different

Implant treatment takes a long time, and because it may require bone grafting or gum incision, it can be a major burden for people with dental phobia.

At Seoul Of Dental Hospital, by performing implants under sedation anesthesia,

🦷 Surgery possible without pain or tension 🦷 Time feels shorter and recovery is faster 🦷 Unnecessary stress reduced 🦷 Improved prognosis through a precise procedure environment

In particular, a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery personally performs the surgery,

and blood pressure, oxygen saturation monitoring, and an emergency medication system are always in operation, so you can safely receive sedation implant treatment.

Sedation Implant Treatment Is Different

After treatment is finished, you rest in a dedicated recovery room before going home.

Medical staff check the patient’s recovery status and monitor whether blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation are normal.

Most patients can recover within 30 minutes to 1 hour, and returning to daily life immediately after treatment is not difficult.

We Also Get These Questions Often

Q. Do you really not remember it?

A. Most patients have little memory of the treatment or do not remember it at all. However, depending on the patient’s condition, some awareness may remain.

Q. Is it possible even if I have high blood pressure or diabetes?

A. Yes. Before sedation anesthesia, we check blood pressure and blood sugar, and adjust the medication concentration within a safe range, so it is possible.

Q. How long do you sleep?

A. Depending on the procedure, it takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours, and because the medication is quickly broken down after treatment, recovery is fast.
