Alleviating Anxiety: Sedation allows you to get the treatment you need while staying calm and relaxed.
Reducing Treatment Time: Because you're relaxed, our team can work more efficiently, so you spend less time in our office.
Managing Pain: Sedation can help reduce pain or discomfort, making dental procedures more tolerable.
High levels of fear or anxiety
Past traumatic dental experiences
Sensitivity to stimuli such as bright lights or physical touch
Difficulty sitting still for long periods of time
Extremely sensitive gag reflex
Aversion to the noise, smell, or taste associated with dental care
The effects of sedation dentistry can range from light to moderate sedative effects. Many patients feel relaxed and restful, and some even fall asleep during the procedure. Sedation dentistry can also make time pass more quickly during treatment. Many patients don't have any memory of the procedure afterward. You will likely be tired for several hours afterward and need a responsible adult to drive and assist you after the procedure.

Dental sedation is safe when administered by experienced practitioners in a controlled environment. We adhere to the rigorous guidelines set by the American Dental Association, so our methods are safe and effective. Before deciding if sedation is right for you, we will review your medical history, medications, and allergies to tailor our approach to your needs.
No. IV sedation allows you to remain conscious and responsive throughout the procedure. It will feel like a state of deep relaxation or like you are falling in and out of a calming, restful nap.
The total recovery time depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of treatment you receive. In general, the effects of sedation will fully wear off by the end of the day. You will likely feel drowsy the rest of the day, so it's important to rest and relax following the procedure. We will provide detailed instructions appropriate to your situation.
