Conscious Sedation in Rome
The ideal solution for anyone who wants to face dental care in complete calm.
What Is Conscious Sedation?
Conscious sedation is a safe, controlled medical procedure that allows the patient to undergo any dental treatment in a state of deep relaxation, while remaining awake and cooperative.
Unlike general anaesthesia, the patient does not lose consciousness: they can breathe on their own, respond to the dentist and communicate. Anxiety, fear and the perception of pain, however, are completely removed.
At Marano Dental Experience® we use conscious sedation as an integral part of the Feather Method®, ensuring a dental experience of unmatched comfort and safety.
The Benefits of Conscious Sedation
Anxiety Removed
The patient spends the entire session in a state of deep calm, with no tension.
No Pain
Combined with local anaesthetic, sedation removes any perception of pain.
Complete Safety
A constantly monitored procedure, with vital signs kept under control.
Immediate Recovery
The effects wear off quickly, letting you resume daily activities.
Intravenous vs Inhalation Sedation
Intravenous Sedation
Intravenous sedation involves administering sedative drugs through a vein. It provides a deeper level of sedation and is indicated for more complex procedures or for patients with severe dental phobia.
The patient remains conscious but in a state of deep relaxation. You will need someone to accompany you after the session.
Inhalation Sedation
Inhalation sedation uses a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, breathed in through a small nasal mask. It is the lightest form of sedation, ideal for routine treatments.
The effect wears off within minutes. The patient can drive and return to normal activities right away.
