Services We Provide
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative pill an hour before your dental appointment for relaxation. While most patients stay conscious, the sedation induces a profound sense of calm, and some may even doze off during the procedure.
The effects can last up to 24 hours, necessitating someone to drive you home, and patients often have limited recollection of the treatment once completed.

IV Sedation
Administered intravenously, this sedation dentistry induces a deep and profound relaxation. While it doesn’t wholly render patients unconscious, many feel so relaxed that they may even nap in the dental chair. With amnesic effects, individuals who undergo IV sedation may forget portions or the entirety of their dental treatment.
IV sedation dentistry provides precise control over the level of anesthesia, allowing adjustments for different phases of your treatment if necessary. Like oral sedation, having a designated driver to take you home is a requirement after receiving IV sedation.
