Is it for Me?

Are you...

Join the millions of people just like you and experience Sedation Dentistry's relaxed, easy state where dentistry can be accomplished in just a few visits ,in the most comfortable way possible.

HOURS WILL SEEM LIKE MINUTES…

Fortunately, sedation medications have an amnesic effect. That means you'll have very little, if any, memory of your visit. When your treatment is complete you may be a bit wobbly, so your companion will take you home and stay with you until you're recovered. You'll be amazed at how much can be accomplished in such a seemingly short period of time, while you were totally relaxed, and completely comfortable. And best of all, the very next day you will feel fantastic.

You may be a candidate for sedation dentistry if you fall under the category of any of the following:

The Sedation Process

You will be given some oral medication to take about an hour before you come to the office for your treatment. When you arrive in our office, you will already be feeling drowsy so you must be accompanied by a companion. Upon arrival, you will be escorted to the relaxation room. We will cover you up with a cozy warm blanket and monitor your vital signs at all times, more medication will be given depending on procedures and length of your appointment. When you are totally relaxed and comfortable, we will take care of your dental needs. When we have completed your dental treatment, we will have your companion take you home to enjoy the rest of your relaxing day.

Most patients report that they feel absolutely nothing and that during their appointments they are relaxed, sleeping and comfortable at all times.

You will not be unconscious. You will be in a deep and relaxed state but will be responsive.

You will be sedated, so you will require a companion to drive you to your appointment and home again after.

One of our team members will be with you or monitoring you at ALL times during your visit with us. We will monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety.

You will literally sleep through your appointment with little or no memory of your visit here. Those individuals who have difficulty getting numb experience great success when they are asleep.
It is extremely safe. There are no intra-venous tubes or needles and we do not use a general anaesthetic. You take one small pill before your appointment and will be totally relaxed. Difficult and involved dental treatments that would often require several appointments can be completed in one while you are asleep.

Safety

The reason that we use this oral sedation technique is because of its safety. The pill that we use is a common sleeping pill. In 1996, for example, 1,700,000 of these pills were taken by people, not on an annual basis, not on a monthly basis but on a daily basis. An average of 1.7 million of these sleeping pills were taken daily. The 1996 total was 621,000,000 tablets taken. The vast majority of these tablets were taken by patients at home to help them sleep at night. We give our patients more than they would take at home but we use state of the art hospital type monitoring equipment to assess the patients pulse, oxygen saturation in the blood, and blood pressure.

Decision

The only thing standing between you and getting the dental care you want is a couple of tablets of medication. It couldn't be simpler.
