Sedation Dentistry
Dental visits don’t have to be a traumatic experience for you. We want you to feel comfortable coming to us and so we offer Sedation Dentistry as an alternative if you are one of the many people who are afraid or uncomfortable going to the dentist.
To be relaxed in a dentist’s office with pain-free and anxiety-free dental procedures is wonderful. But Sedation Dentistry is really for patients who fear dental procedures, fear needles or have difficulty with their gag reflex, have very sensitive teeth or even difficulty becoming numb. It also provides an opportunity to perform multiple or lengthy dental procedures in a single session. So if these are concerns you experience, you can consider us your Sedation Dentist.
Relaxed Sedation Dentistry with the proper medication requires that you take a prescribed medication about one hour before the scheduled visit. You will then arrive at our office in a deeply relaxed state, though fully responsive. During the procedure, patients aren’t unconscious, but mentally “detached” from what’s going on. The sedative usually lasts about six hours and you will need a ride to and from the dental appointment.
If you fear dental procedures, then relaxed Sedation Dentistry may be the no-pain, low-anxiety dental alternative for you. For more information, call our office and we will discuss this treatment with you.
