Pain management during dental procedures

Pain relief may be at the forefront of your mind if you have an upcoming dental procedure, such as a tooth extraction. Our team at Irvington Dental in Streamwood, Illinois, are skilled dental professionals dedicated to ensuring patients have a positive experience during their appointment. Whether you are having emergency tooth removal or a more invasive procedure such as the placement of dental implants, we can ensure that you are free from pain and anxiety with our sedation and dental pain management solutions available at our office. Pairing the two assures patients feel comfortable before, during, and even after their dental treatments.

What dental sedation options are available?

At Irvington Dental, we know that having dental work completed may cause patients anxiety and discomfort. We utilize both local anesthetics and sedation dentistry to provide the perfect combination of pain relief and anxiety reduction for procedures like tooth extractions or the surgical placement of dental implants. We offer the following methods of sedation for patients to consider:

Which dental pain management solution is best for me?

We utilize both anesthetics and sedation to put patients at ease before and throughout their dental procedure. Before we begin, we ensure patients are comfortable and properly anesthetized.

What about pain relief after the procedure?

Certain procedures may leave remaining discomfort. Most of our patients can manage post-operative discomfort with over-the-counter pain medications, though some might need stronger, prescription medications to address soreness following their treatment.
