Sleep Dentistry (sedation) allows dentists to create a state of relaxation and thus manage the fear or anxiety patients may experience during dental procedures.
Your comfort is our first concern. Patients who are sedated inhale nitrous oxide (laughing gas) through a mask, and/or may take an oral or intravenous dosage of sedative medication. We are dedicated to making your visit comfortable and anxiety free.
Sedation reduces the anxiety that is typically associated with Dentistry, and allows the patient to relax. The temporary amnesia usually associated with sedation also is a plus for many patients.
If you request sedation, your medical history will be examined and you will be monitored throughout the sedation. With sedation, your smile does not have to suffer from fear of dental procedures.
