How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?

A small pill is given to you an prior to your dental appointment.

When your treatment is completed, your companion will escort you home.


Facts About Sedation Dentistry
It Really Works!

It's Safe! You take a small pill prior to treatment; there are no tubes or needles.

You will have little or no memory of the dental experience. You won't remember any smells or sounds.

You will relax for up to five to six hours after taking the pill. This relaxation time will vary depending on your treatment.

Complex dental treatments that often requiring multiple appointments can be done in as little as one visit!

If who have difficulty getting numb, sedation dentistry eliminates this problem.

Sleep dentistry, or sedation dentistry, is a dental solution designed for patients who dread going to the dentist. Many people feel afraid or uncomfortable when they are placed in vulnerable positions like the dental chair, and may experience dental anxiety as a result. Sleep dentistry is an option for patients who fear dental procedures, fear needles, have difficulty with their gag reflex, have very sensitive teeth, or have difficulty becoming numb from oral injections.

Sleep dentistry offers pain-free and anxiety-free dental procedures. Sleep dentistry also provides an opportunity to perform multiple procedures in one session, minimizing the number of visits a patient has to make to the dental office. Generally sleep dentistry involves conscious sedation.


Other common types of conscious sedation are inhalation, intravenous, and intramuscular sedation. Inhalation sedation, or nitrous oxide-oxygen, is the most common sedation technique and is also known as laughing gas. Inhalation sedation is a preferable option as patients recover quickly and may leave the dental office alone and immediately resume their normal daily activities.
