Sedation dentistry or conscious sedation is cutting-edge dental technology that allows you to take an oral sedative medication to alleviate any fears or discomfort you may have while at our office. It’s safe, easy and effective, and best of all, no needles are involved! Sedation dentistry will simply alleviate your anxiety by placing you in a sleep-like state, so that little is felt or remembered from the dentistry procedure. Is Sedation Dentistry Right For You? If you have a fear of needles, or any type of anxiety when going to the dentist, conscious sedation is a great solution for you. Also, sedation dentistry can be used for individuals who require complex treatment and would like their treatment performed during a single, pain-free visit. How Does It Work? Oral sedative medications will be taken the night before your dental appointment and again 30 to 60 minutes before the dental appointment, depending on the severity of the anxiety. Although you will not actually be asleep, you will enjoy a heightened state of relaxation — and probably won’t remember much about the procedure afterwards. Your appointment will be a dream and hours in the chair will feel like minutes. |
