Sedation Dentistry

What is "Sedation Dentistry?

Specially trained dentists prescribe an extraordinarily safe, very common sleeping pill after discussing your health with you.

The sleeping pill is taken an hour before you come to the dentist so you are profoundly relaxed when you walk in. If needed, another sleeping pill is taken when you arrive. When you lie down in the chair, you are covered with a blanket and your vital signs are checked as you slip in and out of sleep. While you are sedated, everything is completed. When you get up, it's all over!

"Sedation Dentistry" has been used safely in millions of dental procedures. Any dental procedure can be completed while you are sedated and most people choose to take care of everything in as little as two appointments. Even people who are afraid of cleanings and cosmetic dentistry can benefit from "sedation dentistry." Imagine waking up with the beautiful new smile you have always wanted!
