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.

Get in Touch
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. Sedation is administered by trained professionals and carefully monitored throughout your visit. We review your medical history to ensure safety and comfort.
Will I be asleep during the procedure?
That depends on the type of sedation. With nitrous oxide or oral sedation, you’ll be awake but deeply relaxed. IV sedation may cause you to fall into a light sleep, but you’ll still be responsive.
How long does the sedation effect last?
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes. Oral and IV sedation may take a few hours to wear off, and you’ll need someone to drive you home afterward.
How should I prepare for a sedation appointment?
Follow the specific instructions provided by your dentist, which may include fasting and arranging transportation if oral or IV sedation is used.

"Greatest dentist experience! Lovely, personable staff and efficient work—they had me in and out in no time. They also give you the option to pick a show to watch on Netflix while they work on your teeth which I thought was a hoot!"

"Fast and efficient, I’ve never spent more than 45 minutes in the chair. Extremely respectful and really care about their patients, never pushy or condescending. Drove 300 miles, round trip, for my appointment today. And I’ll do it again for the care and service I receive at this office."
