What's It Like?

There are different levels of sedation, even with oral medications. With anxiolysis, the lightest level of sedation, you usually take a single dose on the day of your appointment. To attain a longer and more comfortable experience you may opt for oral conscious sedation dentistry where unique protocols will be chosen for your unique needs and medical history. 

Once you are completely relaxed and comfortable, your sedation dentist will be able to work quickly and efficiently to perform larger amounts of dentistry in fewer visits. And since sedation medications have an amnesic effect, you'll have very little, if any, memory of the sights, smells or sounds of your visit - making your visit feel short and sweet. 

When your treatment is complete you may be a bit wobbly while the medications work their way out of your system but you will be able to walk. You will need your companion to take you home and stay with you until you're fully recovered. Your sedation dentist will give you simple instructions on when and how much you should eat or drink and other important information. 

You'll be amazed at how much can be accomplished in such a seemingly short period of time, while you were totally relaxed and comfortable. And best of all, the very next day you will feel fantastic.
