PAINLESS DENTISTRY
Say goodbye to pain and regain confidence with a renewed smile.
At Oral Laser, we understand that fear of dental procedures can be a significant barrier for many people. That is why we have implemented an innovative approach: painless dentistry. We have the only intravenous sedation service for dental treatments in the city of Medellin. In addition, we offer nitrous oxide sedation and the possibility of performing procedures under general anesthesia in the operating rooms of Clinica Las Vegas. This approach allows us to perform dental procedures without causing any pain or leaving negative memories in our patients.
Why fight pain?
According to a recent study, more than 60% of people worldwide suffer from fear of the dentist, known as dentophobia. This fear can be due to several reasons, such as fear of pain, the smell of chemicals and the sound of the dental drill. In the United States, about one third of the population avoids visiting the dentist due to dental anxiety or fear.
When is painless dentistry necessary?
Painless dentistry is ideal for patients who experience extreme anxiety or fear of the dentist, those who require lengthy or complex procedures, and people with a low tolerance for pain. It is also beneficial for young children or patients with special needs who may have difficulty cooperating during treatment. Sedation and general anesthesia ensure that all patients can receive necessary dental care comfortably and without stress.
