Dental Organization for Conscious SedationSedation Dentistry allows you to be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing.  That is why it is normally referred to as conscious sedation dentistry.  So if you have sensitive teeth, a fear of dentists, have a bad gag reflex, hate needles, or have limited time to spend on dental care at the dentist, sedation during dentistry procedures can help you.
Whatever the case may be, sedation can help you be more anxiety free during your treatment.  Our goal is to make your treatment a relaxing and enjoyable one.  Since you are completely comfortable and relaxed, we can do years of dental treatments in one or two dental visits.

Will I feel any pain?
No, you will feel absolutely nothing. Although you will remember having been to the dentist, you won't remember any part of the procedure and will feel no pain whatsoever.

Will I be unconscious?
No, you will be in a deeply relaxed state, and you will be responsive. You will experience some short-term amnesia about the time you spent at the dentist.

Will I be monitored?
Yes, a member of our staff is always with you and your vital signs are monitored during the entire visit. You are never alone.

How long will I be snoozing?
You will be given a pill according to the length of time that your treatment will take. It could be anywhere from two hours all the way to six hours.

Will someone need to accompany me?
Yes. Due to the sedative effects of the medication, you will need someone to drive you to our office and home again at the conclusion of the treatment.
