Sedation dentistry information

It Really Works! You really can snooze through your dental appointment.

It Is Safe! We give the medication through an IV line, or you take a small pill before treatment.

You will have little or no memory of the experience. You won't remember any sounds or smells. You will 'snooze' for up to five to six hours. The time you are snoozing will vary depending on your needed treatment. Nitrous Oxide (Sweet Air) is commonly used as well. It helps you relax further to the point where you are almost asleep; yet you are still responsive to directions from the doctor. The beautiful thing about the Nitrous Oxide is that it is quickly reversed by breathing fresh air or oxygen.

Complex dental treatments that often require six to eight appointments, can be done in as little as one! All while you snooze.

People who have difficulty getting numb or who gag easily will find that Sedation Dentistry eliminates this problem.

Sedation Dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatments requiring long visits. In fact, after a four or five hour sedation visit, most patients, when asked, will reply that they thought they were in the dental chair for maybe one hour!
