When dental anxiety keeps you from getting the care you need, sedation can open the door to comfortable, stress-free treatment. Whether you’re receiving routine care or complex restorative work, we understand patient comfort is essential during any dental treatment. Our sedation options allow you to obtain the dental treatment you need in fewer appointments while remaining completely relaxed throughout your visit.
Rivers Dentistry brings advanced sedation dentistry to the Aspen community. Our comprehensive dental services are designed to meet the unique needs of our patients, who value quality, comfort, and personalized attention. Dr. Rivers and our team combine cutting-edge technology with a gentle approach, ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of care in a welcoming environment.
Whether you suffer from dental anxiety or want to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during your procedure, our Aspen sedation dentistry services include both IV sedation and nitrous oxide, allowing us to tailor your comfort level to your specific needs and treatment plan.
IV sedation provides the deepest level of relaxation while keeping you safely conscious and responsive throughout your procedure. This option is particularly advantageous for patients undergoing extensive treatments like dental implants, full mouth rehabilitation, or multiple procedures in a single visit.
Nitrous oxide is a lighter sedation option that helps you feel calm and at ease while remaining fully aware of your surroundings. The American Dental Association recommends nitrous oxide as a safe and effective sedative to help patients relax and stay calm during dental procedures. This option works well for routine procedures and patients who suffer from mild to moderate dental anxiety.
Our sedation protocols prioritize your safety and comfort above all else. We conduct thorough medical evaluations before any sedation procedure and monitor your vital signs throughout your treatment. Our team is extensively trained in sedation methods and emergency protocols, ensuring you receive care that meets the highest safety standards.
One of the primary benefits of sedation dentistry is the ability to complete extensive treatment plans in fewer appointments. Rather than spreading procedures across multiple visits, we can often accomplish several treatments during a single sedation session. This approach is particularly valuable for busy professionals and Aspen-area residents who prefer to minimize time away from their activities and commitments.
For example, sedation dentistry is an excellent addition to our dental implant services as it makes the procedure more comfortable for patients while allowing us to work efficiently. We can often place multiple implants or combine implant placement with other restorative procedures during a single visit. This comprehensive approach reduces the overall treatment timeline while ensuring consistent results.
For patients requiring extensive restorative work, sedation dentistry enables us to complete comprehensive treatment plans that might otherwise require numerous appointments. Full mouth rehabilitation, multiple crown placements, and combination cosmetic and restorative procedures become manageable and comfortable experiences under sedation.
Our practice operates primarily on a fee-for-service model, allowing us to focus on providing the highest level of care without the constraints often imposed by insurance networks. While we do work with select PPO plans, including Aetna and Cigna dental, we remain out-of-network for most insurance providers. This approach gives us the freedom to dedicate the time necessary for thorough evaluations, personalized treatment planning, and meticulous execution of your care.
We understand high-quality dental care is a significant investment in your health and well-being. To make treatment more inclusive, we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit and Cherry, allowing you to divide your investment into manageable monthly payments. Many of our comprehensive treatment plans can be structured with payments starting as low as $200 per month, making even extensive procedures financially manageable.
