Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is a safe and effective way to help patients feel relaxed and at ease during dental procedures. Taken in pill form, this type of sedation produces a calming effect while allowing you to remain awake and responsive throughout treatment. It is commonly used for procedures such as fillings, root canals, or extractions, especially for patients who experience anxiety or fear at the dentist.

The dosage is carefully tailored to your needs, providing mild to moderate sedation that reduces stress and promotes comfort without the need for intravenous medication. While under oral sedation, you may feel drowsy or pleasantly relaxed, but you will still be able to follow instructions from your dental team.

Oral sedation allows procedures to be performed more efficiently while minimizing discomfort and anxiety. After treatment, a brief recovery period is recommended, and you may need someone to accompany you home for safety. This approach provides a calm, comfortable, and reassuring experience for patients seeking a stress-free dental visit.

"Painless!!! I have anxiety from past experiences and they were so compassionate and kind. They offer options for sedation or nitrous, which definitely helps. The dentist was very gentle and caring. I didn’t feel a thing getting two fillings. This place is great and I highly recommend! Especially if fear is keeping you from going to the dentist. Give them a call, setup an appointment and see for yourself.

"I called this morning in excruciating pain. They saw me immediately and determined I needed a root canal. Had the first part done and scheduled to go back in 2 weeks. I cannot thank them enough for their care, professionalism and prompt action to help me thru this pain.

"Finding a great doctor is like shoe shopping, you have to keep looking until you find the best fit!!! And this office is exactly that!! From the ladies at the front desk, the hygienists, the assistants, all the way up to the providers themselves, its been a great experience. They even have early AM options for those of us who rather get in and get out ASAP. Def the best overall service I've had.
