Conscious Sedation

Don't let a fear of the dentist - or a fear of medication - prevent you from receiving the dental treatment you deserve. Conscious sedation dentistry is a safe, easy way to remove the anxiety and pain from dental work.

Conscious sedation is when a sedative is administered before your procedure begins. The sedative - typically a pill you swallow - will not render you unconscious. Rather, it will just allow you to become deeply relaxed. You may drift in and out of sleep (however, you can be easily woken up if necessary).

You'll be able to talk, and you'll be aware of what's going on, but you'll also be extremely comfortable and at ease. Most patients find themselves falling into a deep, relaxing sleep for a few hours after the procedure is completed.

Conscious sedation is safe, easy and effective. We recommend it for any of our patients who have anxiety about going to the dentist. Sedation can be used during virtually any dental procedure.
