sedation
Intravenous sedation
is a completely safe technique which brings patient
comfort to unparalleled levels. We use a sedative
which makes you snooze through your dental appointment.
Even though you are not technically asleep, our patients
describe the experience as seeming to be asleep.
You will have little or no memory of the appointment.
You will not even remember any sounds or smells.
With sedation, you
will find that your treatment is performed more comfortably
than you might ever have thought possible. You will
be drowsy and unaware of the time passing by. During
the entire appointment you will be monitored continually.
Sedation is especially useful for
adult patients who:
- Have high anxiety about dental
visits
- Have had traumatic dental
experiences in the past
- Are receiving complex treatments/surgery
- Have difficulty getting numb
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Have TMJ troubles and cannot
open their mouth for extended periods
- Are afraid of needles in
the mouth
- Have sensitive teeth
- Hate the noises and/or smells
associated with dental care
- Simply do not have the time
for multiple visits
- Sedation is only for adult
patients
We will schedule a consultation
appointment first to answer any questions. At this
time we will review your medical history to confirm
that you are eligible for treatment under sedation.
