What should you expect with Sedation Dentistry?

You will come in to have a consultation with our doctor. We will help to determine the best type of sedation for your needs. At your next appointment, we will administer the sedation per your request. You will be taken to a recovery room where we will give you time to wake up from sedation. It is important that you have a loved one or friend bring you home the same day as your appointment because it is unsafe for you to drive after being sedated. The procedure is done quickly and easily for you in a more comfortable manner.
