Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?

No. You will be in a relaxed, tranquil state - but not asleep.


Why do people choose Sedation Dentistry?

Some people elect Sedation Dentistry because they have sensitive teeth or exaggerated gag reflexes, while others have limited time for a visit or want to avoid discomfort and anxiety during their visit.


Will I be able to drive to or from my dentist appointment?

No. You will be taking a tranquilizing medication beforehand, and such drugs may impede your ability to drive. To be safe, ask a friend or family member to give you a ride to your appointment and a ride home after the appointment.


Is Sedation Dentistry safe?

Absolutely. You will be monitored at all times by dental assistants to make sure that you are not in any danger. You will never be alone and the procedure is completely safe.
