FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What types of sedation dentistry do you offer?
We offer comfort-focused options to match your level of anxiety and the treatment involved, ranging from lighter relaxation to deeper sedation for longer procedures. At your visit we review your health and recommend the safest, most appropriate choice for you.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, when provided by trained professionals who review your medical history and monitor you throughout. We tailor the level of sedation to you and keep a close eye on your comfort and vital signs during the appointment.
Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?
Sedation helps patients with dental anxiety or phobia, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, sensitive teeth, or those undergoing longer or multiple procedures. If fear has kept you from the dentist, sedation can make care finally feel manageable.
Will I be asleep during the procedure?
It depends on the option chosen. Lighter sedation leaves you relaxed but awake and able to respond, while deeper sedation makes the visit feel like it passes in a blur. We will explain exactly what to expect and how you will feel beforehand.
Can I drive myself home after sedation?
With lighter options you often can, but for deeper sedation you will need a trusted adult to drive you home and stay with you for a while afterward. We give you clear instructions before your appointment so you can plan ahead.
