Once you've experienced sedation dentistry you'll probably never be afraid to go to the dentist again.
You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. You'll wake up refreshed, with little or no memory of what was accomplished. Because you are completely comfortable, the dentist can do years of dental treatments in as little as one or two visits.
The dentist can replace crowns or dentures, restore sore gums to good health, whiten yellow or stained teeth, fix a chipped tooth, and more. People with very busy schedules can get the dental care they need, easily and quickly.
Imagine being able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. No wonder so many patients say: "Thank you. Sedation dentistry changed my life."
The dentist will give you a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment. Your companion will accompany you to the office. By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy.
When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted into the comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs. After you are comfortable, the dentist and the experienced clinical team will take care of your dental needs.
When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home to finish your comfortable, relaxing day.
It Really Works! You really can relax through your dental appointment.
It Is Safe! The dentist will give you a small pill prior to treatment, no intravenous tubes or needles.
You will have little or no memory of the experience. You probably won't remember any sounds or smells.
You will relax for up to five or six hours after taking the pill. The time you are relaxing will vary depending on your needed treatment.
Complex dental treatments that often require six to eight appointments, can be done in as little as one! All while you relax.
People who have difficulty getting numb will find that relax dentistry eliminates this problem.

You will be in a deeply relaxed state, and you will be responsive. You will be monitored. Staff is always with you and your vital signs are monitored during the entire visit. You are never alone. You will be relaxing depending on your needs, from two to six hours. You will need someone to accompany you. due to the sedative effects of the medication, you will need someone to drive you to our office and home again.
