Sedation Dentistry
If You Fear Having Dental Work Done, You’re Not Alone!
You Don’t Have to be Scared of the Dentist Anymore
Sedation dentistry removes the layer of fear and anxiety of having dental procedures done allowing you to stop procrastinating and finally receive the dental care you’ve been avoiding. You will be totally relaxed and comfortable,
Sedation dentistry compresses time in your mind. Meaning, a two hour appointment will feel like a one hour appointment and an hour appointment will feel like only a half hour appointment. When you return home after the dental appointment you will also experience an amnesic effect. Meaning, you will remember going to the dentist and talking to the dentist, but you will have little to no memory of the actual dental procedures performed.
With sedation dentistry we can correct years of embarrassing dental problems in as little as 1 or 2 appointments! And as an added bonus, our gentle dental assistants will even hold your hand if you want them to.
Conscious Sedation:
After taking two conscious sedation pills one hour before your dental visit, you will be totally relaxed and awake. You will need an appointed driver to bring you to the office and to take you home.
The layer of fear and anxiety will be removed and you will be able to receive the dentistry you deserve in a comfortable setting. During the dental appointment you will be able to talk to the doctor and follow directions. You will be awake and conscious but won’t care of what’s going on. You will feel completely relaxed. Time in your mind will be compressed. A two hour appointment will feel like one hour and a one hour appointment will feel like a half hour. When you return home, you will also have an amnesic effect in your mind. Meaning, you will remember going to the dental appointment, but most of the particulars and details of what went on, you will have little to no memory.
