Oral Sedation

If you have anxiety about an upcoming restorative or cosmetic dentistry procedure with us, oral sedation is an easy way to calm your nerves and ensure a comfortable experience.

All you'll need to do for this sedation dentistry technique to work is take an oral medication about an hour before we begin. This medication will have a calming effect as well as an amnesic effect, so you won't remember the procedure after the medication has worn off. Other advantages of oral sedation include:

• It's very easy to administer
• It's safe and easy to monitor
• It works well for most patients
• It's very affordable

The few disadvantages of oral sedation include:

• It doesn't have any pain relieving effects
• You will need a family member to drive you to and from your appointment
• The level of sedation is not easily changed

If you are located in the Fresno, Visalia or Reedley are and would like to learn more about oral sedation or the other sedation dentistry techniques we offer, please contact us today. During your complimentary consultation we can answer any questions you have and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each method in more detail.
