Sedation dentistry involves the use of carefully administered sedative medication to induce a state of relaxation and tranquility. There are various levels of sedation available, tailored to your specific needs. Some forms of sedation merely help you feel at ease, while deeper sedation can even lull you into sleep during the procedure. Prior to the treatment, our experienced dentist will sit down with you for a comprehensive discussion. This includes evaluating your oral health needs, reviewing your medical history and exploring the different treatment options. Understanding your level of comfort in the dental office is crucial for selecting the most suitable sedation option.
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Throughout your visit, our diligent team will closely monitor your well-being. Additionally, we will provide you with specific instructions to prepare for the sedation process and any post-appointment care guidelines.
