Sedation Dentistry

The fear of potential pain and discomfort associated with some dental procedures can prevent patients from seeking the proper dental care that they need.  Patients may mistakenly believe that they can ignore or postpone dental problems indefinitely, often with disastrous consequences.

Fortunately, there is a solution for alleviating discomfort during preventative or corrective dental procedures.  Sedation Dentistry is a revolutionary way to reduce the anxiety that can accompany dental work.  Sedation Dentistry allows our Dentists to soothe patient fear and discomfort by using proven calming medications in a safe manner.

Proper maintenance and regular dental care is essential for protecting your smile.  With Sedation Dentistry, your next trip to the dentist can be as painless and anxiety-free as possible so that your teeth get the attention they deserve. If you are concerned about potential pain during your dental visit, Sedation Dentistry may be the right solution for you. Ask our Dentists about Sedation Dentistry options today.


Frequently Asked Questions on Sedation Dentistry

Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?
This depends on your form of Sedation. You will be able to choose from Oral Sedation which will place you in a relaxed, tranquil state or IV Sedation where you will be sleeping comfortably.  

Why do people choose Sedation Dentistry?
Some people elect Sedation Dentistry because they have sensitive teeth or exaggerated gag reflexes, while others have limited time for a visit or want to avoid discomfort and anxiety during their visit.

Will I be able to drive to or from my dentist appointment?
No. You will be taking tranquilizing medications, and such drugs will impede your ability to drive. Therefore, ask a friend or family member for help with a ride home after the appointment.

Is Sedation Dentistry safe?
Absolutely. You will be monitored at all times by specialy trained Dentists to make sure that you are not in any danger. You will never be alone and the procedure is completely safe.
