Sedation Options We Offer
Which option fits best comes down to your health history, how anxious you feel, and the procedure ahead — and your dentist will guide that choice.
Local Anesthesia numbs the treatment area for nearly every procedure, keeping you fully awake yet pain-free.
Oral Sedation is a prescription pill you take beforehand; it quiets nerves and leaves you pleasantly drowsy and relaxed.
IV Sedation flows through a vein for deeper calm. Many patients remember little of the visit, and we keep a close eye on you the entire time.
Technology We Use For Safety And Comfort
Safety leads every decision. Modern tools let us plan with precision and keep close tabs on you throughout.
- Cone beam CT imaging for detailed 3D planning when a case calls for it
- Digital X-rays and impression-free scanning for quicker, more comfortable diagnostics
- Electric handpieces that make treatment smoother and quieter
- Intraoral cameras that make your care plan easy to follow
- Laser dentistry, where fitting, to ease discomfort and sensitivity

What To Expect At Your Visit
It begins with a pre-visit review of your medical history, medications, and comfort needs. When treatment day arrives, you may be asked to fast before IV sedation and to line up a ride home. Our trained team watches over you the whole way through, then hands you clear recovery guidance and checks in afterward to confirm you’re healing well.

Sedation Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions
- Is sedation dentistry safe?
- Very. After going over your full health history, we select the safest option for you and keep a close watch the entire time you’re under sedation.
- Will I be asleep during my procedure?
- Most patients stay awake but deeply at ease. With IV sedation you may feel as though you nodded off and recall almost nothing, yet you can still respond to us.
- Can children receive sedation?
- Yes. For kids who feel anxious or need more involved treatment, we offer age-appropriate sedation and explain the whole plan to you first.
- How long does sedation take to wear off?
- Oral and IV sedation can linger for several hours before fully clearing, so you’ll want a driver home and a low-key rest of the day.
- Will I feel pain during treatment?
- No. Sedation is paired with local anesthesia, so the area is numb and you stay comfortable the whole time.
- How much does sedation dentistry cost?
- It varies with the type of sedation and how long treatment runs. We’ll hand you a clear estimate up front, and financing may be an option.
- Will insurance cover sedation?
- Some plans do, particularly for surgery or medically necessary care. We’ll help you check your benefits and sort out what’s covered.
- How do I prepare for IV sedation?
- We’ll walk you through simple pre-op steps, including when to stop eating and drinking. Wear something comfortable and line up a ride to and from your appointment.
