If you need a lengthy procedure or complex surgery, sedation dentistry is usually recommended. For example, if the treatment takes longer than a usual procedure, you may prefer to feel like you’re napping through the longer visit. We also recommend sedation if you want to unwind during routine dental work. Or if you’re a little (or very) nervous about having a specific procedure completed.
You have the option of requesting dental sedation at any time. We may be able to add a sedative at your appointment or plan for everything to be finished in a single visit, depending on the sort of sedative that is best for your needs.
We recommend that you request sedation if:
- Multiple treatments are required
- You have been avoiding treatment due to nervousness or anxiety
- Oral surgery is required
- You want to have the most relaxed experience possible
