  • Oral Sedation: A pill taken before your visit to help you feel calm and at ease.

We’ll explain each option in plain language so you can feel confident and informed.

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medications to help patients relax while receiving dental care. Some people feel just a little drowsy, while others prefer to be deeply relaxed. We’ll help you choose the level of sedation that’s right for you based on:

  • Your comfort level and anxiety
  • The type of dental work needed
  • Your overall health
