Can Sedation Dentistry be used for all dental procedures?
Yes. It can be used for routine check-ups and dental cleanings or for more intense procedures, such as root canals, oral surgeries or tooth extractions. Sedation Dentistry can also be used for patients who wish to enhance their smiles through cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as porcelain veneers, dental implants or dental crowns.
Pain and fear of pain are two different things. An analgesic like aspirin blocks pain but does not help with anxiety. We always give a local anesthetic to block the pain receptors in the treatment area. If you are nervous or fearful, we can help with that by giving you a sedative.
No. You’ll be not be asleep but will be in a very relaxed state. The sights, sounds and smells of the dental office will become less noticeable, and you will be able to respond to any requests made.
No. Sedation Dentistry can also be beneficial for people who:

• Have a strong gag reflex
• Do not respond well to numbing treatments
• Have several dental treatments they want to complete in one visit
• Have physical limitations in their jaw, neck or back
• Do not eat or drink anything 6 hours prior to the appointment
• Only small amount of water or Gatorade can be sipped until 3hrs before the appointment
• Stop taking anything per mouth (other than your medication) in the 3 hours period before the sedation
• A probe will be placed on your finger to monitor your pulse and oxygen continuously while you are sedated. It does not work well on nail varnish or fake nails. Therefore, they will have to be removed before your appointment.
