DESCRIPTION
A dental implant treatment provides ideal solutions for those who are suffering from missing teeth problems. The implants replace the function of the lost tooth roots, and provide a firm base where dental restorations can be attached to. The combination of the implants and the dental restoration (such as a dental bridge or dental crowns) completely restores the healthy form and function of a smile after the loss of natural teeth.

Dental Implant
Treatment for Nervous
Patients
A dental implant treatment provides ideal
solutions for those who are suffering
from missing teeth problems. The
implants replace the function of the lost
tooth roots, and provide a firm base
where dental restorations can be attached
to. The combination of the implants and
the dental restoration (such as a dental
bridge or dental crowns) completely
restores the healthy form and function of
a smile after the loss of natural teeth.
The placement of implants into the jawbone
involves a surgical procedure. In cases when
the jawbone has deteriorated or is very thin,
it may be necessary to have another surgical
procedure (a bone graft) before the implants
can successfully be placed into the jawbone.
Nervous patients who find it challenging to
go to the dentist for even a routine dental
checkup may find it extremely difficult to
make the decision to go through with an
implant treatment, because of the surgical
procedures involved. This is where nervous
patient care options come in, to make it
easier for those suffering from dental phobia
to have dental implants.
Nervous Patient Care
Nervous patient care options offer phobic
patients with a number of methods that
will make the entire treatment a more
comfortable one. These treatment options
are designed to ease the fears and worries
of nervous patients during the treatment,
and also ensure that any unpleasant parts
of the procedure will not be remembered
afterwards.
Some of the nervous patient care
options include:
Inhalation Sedation – The sedative is
inhaled by the patient through a mask,
and works to place the patient in a
completely relaxed state prior to the
placement of dental implants. During the
treatment, the patient will not fear
anxiety or fear, but will still be able to
follow the dentist’s requests or
instructions.
Oral Sedation – The sedative is
administered orally or through the mouth
to make the patient feel completely
comfortable, without experiencing fear
or anxiety as the implants are placed
using a surgical procedure.
Intravenous Sedation (IV Sedation) –
Through IV sedation, the sedative is
administered through an IV line to the
hand, or the arm. The patient remains
conscious throughout the treatment, but
will be in a completely relaxed state of
mind without fear or nervousness.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy –
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
focuses on understanding the root cause
of the patient’s dental fear to come up
with a long-term solution to address this
phobia.
General Anesthesia – This is offered in
hospitals, or dental clinics which have
the necessary facilities and equipment,
for patients whose dental fears may not
be eased by other nervous patient care
options. Under general anesthesia the
patient will be unconscious, with the
whole body rendered numb and unable to
feel pain or discomfort.
