Feel comfortable during your next dental appointment. Our sedation dentistry services provide medication to assist you in feeling relaxed and more comfortable during your dental care experience.
Feeling Anxious About Dental Care?
We provide you with sedation options and help you choose the best option for the procedure or dental visit you need. This ensures that your visit remains as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation Dentistry utilizes medication to help reduce a patient’s level of anxiety and improve their overall comfort levels while receiving dental treatment. Many patients elect to use sedation because they are nervous about visiting the dentist, have a severe gag reflex that prevents them from comfortably undergoing treatment, require longer than average appointment times, or need multiple procedures done during one visit.
Which Option Fits?
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| You feel nervous before or during visits | Nitrous oxide sedation |
| You want deeper relaxation for a longer visit | Oral conscious sedation |
| Strong gag reflex makes treatment hard | Nitrous oxide sedation |
| You need multiple treatments in one visit | Oral conscious sedation |
| You have had difficult dental experiences | Personalized sedation plan |
What to Expect During Your Visit
- Consultation. We review your medical history, your past experiences with dental care, discuss your concerns, and explain sedation choices to consider.
- Plan. You leave the consultation visit with clear instructions on what to do prior to your treatment appointment, what to expect during your treatment, and what steps to follow after your treatment has been completed.
- Treatment. Once your sedation has begun, your comfort will be closely monitored throughout your entire procedure.
- Recovery. Following the conclusion of your treatment, you will rest until you feel able to leave the office. We will then provide you with simple post-visit recovery instructions.
- Follow-up. We contact you several days after your appointment to check on your level of comfort and answer any additional questions you may have.
Costs and Coverage
Fees vary based on the type of sedation and the length of your visit. Insurance benefits differ by plan. Our office team will review coverage and expected costs before treatment.
