Types of Sedation We Provide

Prescription medication taken before your visit for a deeper level of relaxation; you’ll need an escort afterward.

IV Sedation (Case-Dependent)

Deeper sedation for complex procedures; administered and monitored by qualified professionals.

(All sedation options are recommended based on your health history and procedure type.)

FAQs

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes — when administered by trained professionals with proper monitoring, it’s considered very safe.

Will I be asleep?

Most patients are in a deeply relaxed state but still responsive. For deeper IV sedation, you may nap lightly through the procedure.

Can I choose the type of sedation?

We’ll recommend the option that best matches your health, anxiety level, and procedure, and discuss it with you beforehand.

Do I still need local anesthesia?

Often yes — sedation relaxes you, but numbing ensures pain-free treatment.
