Sedation Dentistry

Conscious Sedation Dentistry

Conscious sedation helps to calm a patient during a dental procedure. The sedatives will keep the patient awake, but eliminate any sense or feeling of fear or anxiety. In dentistry, the three types of conscious sedation are:

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is the ingestion of sedatives in form of tablets. This happens one hour prior to your dental appointment. Please do not drive for 24 hours once you take an oral sedative. If the one you took before your procedure was not enough to calm your anxiety, the dentist may recommend a second dose that should be taken one hour before you go to sleep at night.

Inhalation Sedation

The sedative for inhalation sedation is nitrous oxide – widely popular by the name laughing gas. When inhaled, this gas induces the patient to feel excited, euphoric, and happy – devoid of any feeling of pain. The effect is immediate and does not take too much time to wear off.

General Dentistry

Each of our treatment rooms are equipped with flat screen monitors mounted above the patient chair for TV viewing, display of your digital radiographs and intraoral photos, and educational videos.

These cameras allow us to take high resolution pictures of your teeth and oral structures. These cameras are useful for diagnosis, client education, record keeping and communication with specialists, laboratories and insurance companies.

For our patient's convenience and ease of access, the facility is equipped with plenty of parking in immediate proximity to the front entrance allowing ease of access for all patients including full wheel chair accessibility.
