Anesthesia and Sedation
At Orto Nova, we combine dedication, expertise, and cutting-edge technology to ensure all treatments are entirely painless.
At Orto Nova, You Are in Good Hands
Do you have dental problems but fear that the procedure and recovery might be painful? Or are you simply afraid of the dentist? If you experience significant dental anxiety, we offer conscious sedation in addition to local anesthesia, supervised by our anesthesia and resuscitation specialist, ensuring you feel safe and relaxed throughout your treatment.
A Visit to the Dentist Can Be a Pleasant Experience
Beyond the fear of pain, we know that “dentist fear” often hides a fear of the unknown, especially when it comes to uncommon dental procedures. To help you overcome this fear, we will take enough time to talk to you and clearly and thoroughly explain the procedure. Our doctors will answer all your questions and concerns during your first visit, free of charge.
It is possible not to fear dental procedures. Book an appointment at Orto Nova.
Types of Sedation
To ensure you feel no pain during any procedure, simple or complex, and to eliminate anxiety, our dental center offers both local anesthesia and conscious sedation.
Local Anesthesia
With local anesthesia, applied to a specific point in the oral cavity, we temporarily block the nerves responsible for pain perception, making the procedure completely painless. Depending on your pain sensitivity, you can choose local anesthesia even for simple procedures like tartar cleaning and cavity treatment.
Conscious Sedation

Use of Dental Sedation
Consultations
Before opting for dental sedation, you will consult with our doctor and complete a health questionnaire to check if you are eligible for the medication.
Procedure
For more complex procedures, you will receive intravenous sedation during the intervention. Our anesthesia and resuscitation specialist will be present throughout the entire procedure, monitoring your vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation.
End of the Procedure
At the conclusion of the procedure, the doctor will assess whether you are fully alert and if your vital signs are stable.
Recovery After the Procedure
Since the effects of sedation will continue for some time after the procedure, you will rest a bit longer in our relaxation room. Afterwards, you can go home with your companion, who is required in cases of conscious sedation. You should rest for the rest of the day.
