How Does It Work? |
|
| |
You are given a pill to take one hour prior to your dental appointment. A companion of yours must accompany you to our office. When you arrive, you will be very drowsy. You will relax into a very comfortable chair and be covered with a warm, cozy blanket. Once you are totally comfortable, our experienced clinical team will take care of your dental needs. When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home where you will most likely sleep for a few hours.
Oral sedation is proven to be a very safe and effective method in helping our patients receive the dental care they need and want without the anxiety and stress often associated with dental visits. Many of our patients tell us that they can’t believe how easy it was to undergo dental treatment and that they experienced no discomfort whatsoever. |
