Sedation Dentistry Palos Hills IL
A Complete Range of Sedation
Dentistry Options to Make Your Visit Comfortable
With our sedation dentistry techniques, we are able to repair teeth, restore gums, and brighten smiles all in one visit! Sedation dentistry allows Dr. Tisoncik to correct years of dental problems in as few appointments as possible. Ask us if you are a candidate for sedation dentistry today! We are excited to offer several solutions for our patients to make their treatment comfortable. Because these medications stay in a patient's system for a few hours after the visit, there are few complaints of pain after procedures are completed.
Sedation dentistry techniques allow patients who might otherwise avoid the dentist to get the dental treatment necessary for a healthy smile. Depending on the level of anxiety or phobia, varying degrees of dental sedation can be used. Most patients can't remember their treatment. Some will remember a little, usually at the end of the appointment when we are getting them ready to go home. You will need someone to drop you off at our office on the day of your sedation appointment and you MUST have someone take you home afterward. For your safety, we use special equipment to monitor your pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen level throughout your treatment. You’ll be done before you know it, completely unaware of the time passing, and fully relaxed.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” may be given to eliminate fear and make a patient feel comfortable with treatment. It is administered through a mask and you breathe in the medication. Local anesthetic is also given to relieve any pain.
Oral Sedatives
Depending on the level of anxiety a patient has, medication will be taken the evening before or only 30 – 60 minutes before the appointment. Oral sedatives do not give relief from pain, so a shot of anesthesia will also be given.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
With this type of sedation, a small needle is inserted in your arm or hand for the medication to enter your system. As with oral sedatives, a local anesthetic is also given for pain relief. The advantage of having an IV is that more medication can be given and monitored for deeper sedation, and the effect is immediate. With intravenous sedation, it will be like sleeping through the entire treatment.
Dr. Tisoncik has received advanced training for IV sedation and is certified through the University of Southern California anesthesiology program.

Wine Tasters, Beware
Why? Sipping wine many times a day -- and swishing it in the mouth -- increases the enamel's exposure to damaging acids.
That is why it's better to drink a glass of wine, soda, or sweet tea with a meal instead of sipping it over several hours.

Implant Dentistry at Palos Hills Dental
‘Grow’
New Teeth to Replace Missing Ones
Dental implants will look as if you grew new teeth where
they were missing. The implant comes through the gums
and gives the appearance of a natural tooth. Whether you
need one or all of your teeth replaced, they will
function and look just like real teeth for chewing and a
beautiful
smile. Implants may also be used to lock in dentures for
a totally secure fit.We take care of the entire process
from placement of the implant to fabrication of the
crown, so you will not need to be referred to another
office.
Another Option – Immediate Load Implants
In addition to regular implants, All-on-4™ immediate load implants give you another choice. Only four implants will permanently hold your dentures in place and they will never have to be taken out. It is easy to once again have a beautiful smile and functioning teeth in just one visit. The use of four to six implants will give strong support to your new teeth. Once they are placed in your mouth, you do not need to allow time for the bone to heal around it – any pressure from chewing will easily be withstood.
In the past, a patient was referred to an oral surgeon for placement of the implants. After the surgeon finished anchoring the posts, the dentist would place the teeth on the implants. There used to be a six-month waiting time for the completion of implants. At our practice, we secure the immediate load implants in one visit.

Your Mouth Is Not a Bottle Opener!
Gnawing on anything else -- like pens or fingernails -- or chomping down on seeds, popcorn kernels, or ice could have the same result.

Tooth Decay and Sensitivity
What Causes Tooth Enamel Damage?What happens when tooth enamel is damaged? The exposed part underneath becomes vulnerable to decay. Cavities aren't the only problem.
Teeth with damaged enamel can become sensitive to extreme temperatures. Suddenly, eating ice cream or sipping hot coffee can be painful or unpleasant.
