OUR SEDATION OPTIONS

LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH

ORAL SEDATION
Oral sedation helps to relieve dental anxiety without using needles or tubes. If you have difficulty getting numb, you may benefit from oral sedation as part of your sleep dentistry plan. This involves taking anti-anxiety medication before your visit to induce a state of drowsiness. Your vital signs will be monitored the entire time you are under sedation, and you will need someone to drive you home after your appointment.

LOCAL ANESTHETIC
If we need to numb only certain parts of the mouth, our dentist may administer local anesthesia before the procedure. Local anesthetic will numb only the treatment area for a few hours, and its effects wear off shortly after your visit. We may use lidocaine injections or something similar to numb the gums and teeth before a procedure.

GENERAL ANESTHETIC
In some cases, your dentistry procedures will need to be performed under general anesthesia. We will put you to sleep for the entire procedure and an anesthesiologist will monitor you the whole time. General anesthesia is typically necessary when a patient is undergoing a full mouth reconstruction, several procedures at once, or has difficulty getting numb and sedated through other methods.

"If for any reason you're not delighted with my service during the entire first year as my patient, let me know and I will cheerfully refund 110% of what you paid up to your first $1,000 of treatment."
