What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry helps patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during dental treatment. It can be a helpful option for individuals who experience dental anxiety, have a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or difficulty sitting comfortably during longer procedures.
Depending on your needs and the type of treatment, your dentist may recommend an appropriate sedation option to help you feel calm and at ease while remaining safely monitored throughout your appointment.

What to Expect With Sedation Dentistry
Before Your Treatment
Before your treatment, our dental team will review your medical history, medications, and treatment needs to determine whether sedation is appropriate for you. We will explain the recommended sedation method and provide detailed instructions before your appointment.
During Treatment
During treatment, your vital signs and comfort will be carefully monitored. Depending on the type of sedation used, you may feel deeply relaxed while remaining conscious and able to communicate with your dental team.
After Your Appointment
After your appointment, you will receive specific aftercare instructions. Some forms of sedation may require you to arrange transportation home and avoid driving or operating machinery for a period of time.
