What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation Dentistry is a relaxing, safe and effective way of providing dental treatment in an anxiety-free environment. If you are one of those people that haven’t been to a dentist for years in fear of pain or just want a shorter recovery time, sedation dentistry may be a great option for you. We establish a calm and comfortable setting through the use of sedatives. Both oral sedative drugs such as nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” as well as IV sedation are available. The doctor will help you choose the one that is right for you. You will be in a deeply relaxed state at all times, and you will be responsive.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
There are several benefits to sedation dentistry. Since most patients worry about pain during a procedure, many are surprised to find that they feel no discomfort during their treatment and even feel good afterwards. Also, depending on the type of sedation method that is used, patients may have little or no memory of their visit thus alleviating all anxiety of going to the dentist. We make sure to give you just enough sedation as if you were asleep. Often time’s patients state that it felt like the procedure took only a few minutes, when in fact it might have taken several hours.
Although you will not feel groggy after the procedure, we recommend that you have a friend drive you to and from our office.
