Am I a Good Candidate for Sedation?

If you experience dental anxiety, have a sensitive gag reflex, or require extensive dental work, you might be a great candidate for sedation dentistry. We’ll work closely with you to evaluate your needs and medical history to ensure sedation is the right choice for your procedure.

Patients with conditions like heart disease or respiratory issues may need to be evaluated more thoroughly before sedation is recommended. Our team will ensure that your safety is the top priority by tailoring the sedation method to suit your unique needs.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your comfort level and any concerns you may have. Our goal is to make sure you feel confident and relaxed, knowing that we’re here to provide the best care possible.

Consultation

Before any sedation treatment, you’ll meet with your dentist to discuss your health history and any concerns. We’ll review your options and select the best sedation method for your procedure.

Sedation Administration

On the day of your treatment, sedation will be administered through either laughing gas or an alternative based on your unique needs. You’ll be kept relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure.

Aftercare and Recovery

After your treatment, you’ll be monitored to ensure you recover safely from the sedation. You may need someone to drive you home, as the effects can last for a short time. We’ll give you detailed instructions on what to expect and how to care for yourself post-treatment.
