What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is performed for dental procedures for anxious patients by administering medications to help them relax. Many patients avoid getting the required dental help because of their fear of the dentist. Sedation dentistry is performed to ensure that nervous patients enjoy healthy mouths and teeth.

What are the types of dental sedation?

The different types of dental sedation are; inhalation sedation, for patients requiring mild sedation also called anxiolysis; oral sedation, by asking patients to swallow a pill; TENS, using electrical impulses to numb the area; topical anaesthesia, using a swab to numb the area; or intra-venous sedation, for patients requiring moderate sedation and general anaesthesia for patients requiring deep sedation. General anaesthesia is used for patients only in a hospital and not in a dentist chair.

Is Sedation Dentistry painful?

Oral sedation, inhalation sedation, TENS and topical sedation are not painful. Intra-venous sedation and general anaesthesia need to be injected and patients may feel pain when the sedative is injected.

When can I travel by air after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should travel by air two days after sedation dentistry. They should take the advice of their dentist before embarking on their journey.   

How long does recovery after Sedation Dentistry take?

Recovery from dental sedation takes between 40 to 90 minutes. Recovery depends on the type of sedation administered.  

What after care is required after Sedation Dentistry?

Patients should rest for at least three hours after sedation dentistry. They should not eat for at least four hours, until the anaesthesia wears off. They should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should resume work at least one day after sedation dentistry. They should not smoke or drink alcohol for at least two days after sedation dentistry. They should follow all dietary prescriptions given by their dentist correctly.

The care from the team can not be matchedScott, US, 09 08 26

I came across Urzola Dentistry from a blog about dental tourism. I didn't even know it was a thing. Spent a couple of months researching before I started reaching out to clinics. I considered Mexico, Turkey, Costa Rica, and some others. Ultimately, I chose Costa due to the 5-hour flight, roughly the same time zone and the thousands of positive reviews on various practices and the large number of expats there. Out of the 6 places I reached out to in Costa, Urzola was the only provider that wanted to restore the natural teeth instead of replacing everything. Everywhere else just quoted a price and asked when I would like to come. The Doctor himself reached out, and we discussed what I was wanting and went over a few scenarios. That is what sold me on his office. They were not the cheapest(which I wasn't going for), nor were they the most expensive. I value quality over price any day. And they provided it. I booked my trip for February and sent the itinerary. They handled the room and airport transport to/from. I went down for my first of two visits, and everything went perfectly. Flew in on Sunday and back home on Saturday. Spent the week drinking smoothies and ice cream at the hotel directly behind the clinic. It couldn't have been easier to get there. 2-minute walk. Excellent pho spot on the first floor of the plaza and plenty of places nearby to eat or drink. Went home with a perfect smile for the temporary phase and had them for 4-5 months. Went back in July for the second phase for permanents and was able to spend some time in the city exploring museums and the local sites and food during the week I was there. I brought up a concern about the temps being too white for me, and the next shade darker was too yellow for my liking. So their excellent techs in the lab worked up something for me. I was extremely happy with the colour. The permanents have already changed my life. The care from the team can not be matched. From the International patient coordinator, who is a pure delight to talk to. Not sure how she remembers all the patients they have. To Beatriz at the desk, reaching out and coordinating appointments each day, doing X-rays upon arrival and being the point person at the office. I can not speak enough about each individual person that was part of my treatment team and how excellent they were. They worked to make sure my bite was perfect and comfortable before I left to come home. I plan on going back yearly for checkups and cleaning. I had an amazing experience with the Urzola team and recommend them to anyone looking to have any amount of dental work done.

They have earned the highest recommendation possiblePhil, Costa Rica, 05 08 26

If you are considering extensive dental work, look no further than Costa Rica Dental Team. I came to San Jose for a major transformation—including implants, new caps, and bridges—and the experience exceeded every expectation. While their clinic is equipped with incredible state-of-the-art technology, what truly sets them apart is the people. Dr. Natalie, who performed the majority of my procedures, treated me with remarkable compassion and genuinely cared about my comfort every step of the way. Combined with an unmatched level of expertise, warm hospitality, and thorough follow-up across the entire staff, this clinic sets a standard far beyond any medical practice I’ve ever visited. They have earned the highest recommendation possible!
