Dental Phobia/Gag Reflex Relaxed Pain-free AnesthesiaThree Sedation Methods for Pain-Free Treatment

Nitrous Oxide Sedation・Intravenous Sedation・Intramuscular Sedation
Our clinic offers pain-free treatment through three different sedation methods. If you are looking for pain-free dental care in the Akasaka area, please feel free to contact us for more information and consultations.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide sedation is one of the safest sedation methods with minimal side effects, making it a convenient choice.

Process of Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Before starting the treatment, you will lie down in the dental chair and wear a specialized mask. Nitrous oxide will be administered with oxygen, gradually calming your mind and guiding you into a deep state of relaxation.

• A floating sensation and drowsiness
• Feeling relaxed with reduced anxiety and tension
• Sounds and conversations may seem distant

Dental treatment will be performed while you are in this state. After the procedure, you will rest for about 15 minutes with the mask removed until your awareness returns to normal.

Intramuscular Sedation

With a duration of 1 to 1.5 hours, intramuscular sedation is suitable for general treatments and is particularly effective for patients with dental anxiety. It may not be suitable for those with a strong gag reflex.
We administer an intramuscular injection called Dormicum into your shoulder. Due to its short duration and the small amount of medication used, it is a safe and recommended option.

Process of Intramuscular Sedation

Before starting the treatment, you will lie down in the dental chair, and Dormicum will be injected into your shoulder muscle. The effect lasts about 1 hour, making it suitable for general dental procedures.
You will still be responsive to verbal cues, but remain in a drowsy, semi-sleep state for about an hour.
After the procedure, you will rest until the effects of Dormicum wear off, and return home once your awareness is fully restored.

Cost

22,000 yen (including tax)

Intravenous Sedation

Intravenous sedation is effective for long and complex procedures, such as implants. It is also suitable for patients with extreme dental anxiety or a strong gag reflex.
An experienced anesthesiologist will manage the depth of sedation, allowing you to undergo the procedure with peace of mind.

Process of Intravenous Sedation

Before the surgery, an anesthesiologist will administer the intravenous sedation. You will lie down in the dental chair, and the anesthesiologist will monitor your pulse, blood pressure, and blood oxygen levels while controlling the sedation. Throughout the procedure, both the sedation and overall health status will be carefully monitored to ensure a smooth operation.
The sedation will be adjusted to wear off as the surgery concludes. After the procedure, you will rest for about 30 minutes until your condition stabilizes before going home.

Cost

88,000 yen (including tax)

FAQ about Pain-Free Treatment

Can I receive sedation immediately after my first visit?

First, we need to assess your health during your initial visit. If there are no issues, sedation can typically be provided starting from the second visit. Since only certain doctors are qualified to administer sedation, please make a reservation first.
After the initial examination and diagnosis during the first visit, a treatment schedule will be decided during your second or any subsequent visits.

After the initial consultation, do I have to proceed with treatment on the second visit?

You are welcome to visit us to get a feel for the clinic and the doctors during your first visit. If you are not comfortable or have any reservations, there is no need to book a second appointment.
While fees, such as the initial consultation fee, will be incurred, we hope you use this first consultation as a basis for deciding whether our clinic is the right fit for you. Please take our pain-free treatment plans home with you and consider your options carefully.

Is insurance coverage available for pain-free sedation treatments? What are the costs?

Sedation treatments are not covered by insurance (excluding initial consultation fees, examination, and other treatments). Detailed pricing will be provided after your initial consultation. Please feel free to make an appointment.

I am embarrassed because my teeth are in poor condition. Will you still see me?

We frequently see patients who have neglected their dental health due to fear or embarrassment. We will not start treatment immediately upon your first visit. Please take a small step and contact us. We hope that our pain-free treatments can be a turning point for your future health.
There is no need to feel embarrassed. We are experienced in accommodating patients with poor dental conditions. Please feel free to reach out.
