Sedation Dentistry
We know that a friendly staff and dogs might not be enough to ease fear and anxiety—that’s why we offer conscious sedation dentistry to make your visit pleasant and care-free. This method requires you to take a prescribed sedative about one hour before your dental appointment allowing you to be awake but relaxed.
Besides the obvious advantage of relaxation and calm nerves, sedation dentistry is also beneficial because:
- The pills are easy to take.
- Needles are not required.
- It has an amnesia-like effect during the procedure.
- It is a safe and effective method.
- The patient is still responsive during the procedure.
We treat patients every week who have feared the dentist for a long time, and we have helped them overcome that fear! With sedation dentistry, you can experience a relaxed, pain-free dental visit too.
