What is Sedation Dentistry?

With Sedation Dentistry your dentistry treatment is virtually pain-free.

Sedation Dentistry uses medication to produce a calming and relaxing effect on your central nervous system. You will be completely at ease, meaning your dental treatment can be performed quickly, easily and with only minimal discomfort.

You will feel almost no pain at all, be relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. You are not unconscious at any time, just in a deeply relaxed state. Our experienced Dentists will administer the exact amount of Sedation medication you will need to be comfortable throughout the surgery. The added bonus is that the IV can be controlled so if the procedure takes longer than anticipated, the amount can be steadied to keep you in a constant, relaxed state. In the unlikely event of a problem, the drug can be reversed immediately.

Depending on your individual needs, Sedation Dentistry may last between 2 to 6 hours. When you awake you will feel refreshed and have no memory of the procedure or experiencing any pain.

Today it is common for Dentists to use Sedation Dentistry for all types of anxiety. Sedation is an ideal solution for patients who suffer from dental phobias.
