Dental Sedation
Experience stress-free dental care with sedation—ideal for anxiety, complex treatments, or a more comfortable procedure.
Dental Sedation
Wake Up with a New Smile
If you suffer from anxiety, low pain tolerance, gag reflex, or need a lengthy complex dental treatment, you now have more freedom to get the smile you want.
What is it?
Dental sedation is a service that our anesthesiologists provide to induce a relaxing state of mind for you to receive dental treatment or surgery in a comfortable setting. There are different levels of relaxation that we can induce via medications.
What will I feel?
Since dental sedation is a spectrum of relaxation, you may experience semi-alertness to full sleep during your dental procedure. However, you may be able to respond to verbal commands. While you are relaxed, your sensation of pain, sound and smell will be greatly diminished. Our patients often describe their experience as if no time has passed.
Is it safe?
Yes. It is important that you let our team know about any medications and/or drugs you are taking. You should also let our team know about any medical problems that you may have had so that the sedation procedure can be customized to reflect your special needs.
We use state of the art medical technology and medications that ensures your health and safety.
What's the benefit?
If you suffer from anxiety, dental sedation can help you receive your treatment in a relaxed, painless, and comfortable state of mind.
Complex dental procedures such as smile makeovers or extensive rebuilding procedures that normally require multiple visits can often be performed in fewer appointments.
Sedation Levels
Choosing the Right Sedation for Your Comfort
We offer tailored sedation options—ranging from minimal relaxation to deep sleep—for a safe, comfortable dental experience.
Minimal Dental Sedation
Minimal sedation is a medication induced anxiolysis for treatments where you require a patient’s complete involvement without dental anxiety.
Moderate Dental Sedation
Moderate sedation is a state of consciousness where your anxiety levels and perception of pain are greatly reduced either while you sleep or semi-conscious.
Deep Dental Sedation
Deep IV sedation is a drug-induced state of relaxation during which patients are further unconscious to totally unconscious. Pain sensations are obtunded; thus, patients cannot be easily stimulated to awaken until the medications are diminished.
