Sedation Dentistry in Carmel, IN
If the thought of visiting the dentist makes you nervous, you’re not alone. At Mouchaham Dentistry, we understand dental anxiety — and we’re here to help. With safe and effective sedation options, including IV sedation provided by Dr. Laura Mouchaham, even the most anxious patients can receive the care they need in complete comfort.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation is a great option for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
- Have had negative dental experiences in the past
- Need multiple procedures in one visit
- Have difficulty sitting still for long appointments
- Have a strong gag reflex or sensitive teeth
- Require surgical or complex treatments
Our goal is to ensure you feel safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout your entire visit.
Sedation Options We Offer
Oral Sedation
Taken in pill form before your appointment, oral sedation helps you feel calm and relaxed while remaining conscious and responsive. It’s ideal for mild to moderate anxiety or longer treatments.
IV Sedation
Dr. Laura has advanced training and certification to safely administer IV conscious sedation. This option allows medication to be delivered directly into your bloodstream for deeper relaxation, making you feel at ease throughout your procedure. You’ll remain responsive but may remember little about the appointment.
Local Anesthesia & Comfort Amenities
Even without sedation, our team ensures comfort with modern numbing techniques, warm blankets, neck pillows, and noise-canceling headphones to make your visit more relaxing.
Safety You Can Trust
Your health and safety are always our top priority. Sedation at Mouchaham Dentistry is:
- Designed to keep you comfortable, safe, and stress-free
- Administered and monitored by a dentist with advanced training
- Tailored to your medical history and individual needs
- Closely supervised with advanced monitoring equipment throughout your visit
Sedation for Complex & Surgical Care
For patients undergoing procedures like tooth extractions, dental implants, or wisdom teeth removal, sedation makes treatment much more comfortable. By offering these services in-house, we eliminate the need to refer patients to outside specialists — you can receive advanced surgical care right here in our Carmel office.
