Sedation Dentistry
in Winder, Georgia
Your Comfort is Our Priority
Sedation Dentistry offers the option of having dental procedures completed while in a deeply relaxed state. Dr. Lewis Petree holds licensure in the State of Georgia to provide IV Dental Sedation Services at our Winder dental practice.
Why do Patients Choose Sedation Dentistry?
If a patient has had a bad experience with dental treatment in the past, they may prefer to have restorative treatment (like crowns or dental implants) while sedated.
Patients that have extensive treatment or surgical needs, such as the removal of wisdom teeth may feel more comfortable during these procedures if performed while sedated.
Planning for Your Treatment with Dental Sedation
During your dental examination and consultation visit, your dentist will talk with you about treatment options. We will also ask you about your health history, medications and previous experiences with dental treatment.
If you become very anxious about dental care or have other concerns, we encourage you to share this with us; we always want you to feel comfortable during your appointments with us.
If sedation dentistry is recommended for your situation, we will help plan for your treatment and explain the sedation process so that you know what to expect.
Your Sedation Dentistry Appointment
On the day of your appointment, plan to have someone drive you to the office and plan to spend a few hours with you at home afterwards. Dr. Petree will administer an anti-anxiety medication intravenously during your dental procedure and ensure that you are fully relaxed.
Unlike general anesthesia, the dental sedation patient is able to breathe on their own and respond to verbal instruction. Sometimes the medication causes an amnesic effect, so patients do not remember all the details of the treatment, just that they went to the dentist.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Our dental treatment areas are also equipped with Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas). Using a small nose mask, the patient breathes the nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture for a mildly relaxing effect during dental treatment. The effects of nitrous oxide are temporary, ending as soon as the nose mask is removed.

Even when we lived 1 hr away we would drive home just see the ladies and gentlemen at Stansell and Petree because no one else will do!”
