Sedation
Intravenous sedation is a completely safe technique which brings patient comfort to unparalleled levels. We use a sedative which makes you snooze through your dental treatment. Even though you are not technically asleep, our patients describe the experience as seeming to be asleep. You will have little or no memory of the appointment. You will not even remember any sounds or smells.
With sedation, you will find that your treatment is performed more comfortably than you might ever have thought possible. You will be drowsy and unaware of the time passing by. During the entire appointment you will be monitored continually.
Sedation is especially useful for adult patients who:
Have high anxiety about dental visits
Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
Are receiving complex treatments/ surgery
Have difficulty getting numb
Have a strong gag reflex
Have TMJ troubles and cannot open their mouth for extended periods
Are afraid of needles in the mouth
Have sensitive teeth
Hate the noises and/or smells associated with dental care
Simply do not have the time for multiple visits
Sedation is only for adult patients
We will schedule a consultation appointment first to answer any questions.
At this time we will review your medical history to confirm that you are eligible for treatment under sedation.
