Experience Dentistry Free From Stress and Anxiety

Our practice offers oral sedation to ensure a pain-free and comfortable dental experience. This method is personalized to suit your treatment plan, individual needs, and your dentist’s professional recommendations.

Type of Sedation
We specialize in oral sedation, a technique designed to keep you awake yet fully relaxed throughout your procedure.

Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking prescription medication that helps you stay conscious but deeply relaxed during your treatment. It is often paired with local numbing to enhance comfort and minimize discomfort throughout the procedure.

If you have questions about our oral sedation options or need further information, feel free to contact us. We’re here to ensure your dental visits are as stress-free and comfortable as possible.

The Benefits of Oral Sedation Dentistry

Oral sedation dentistry provides practical solutions to accommodate patients with diverse needs and challenges. Here’s why oral sedation could be the right choice for your dental treatments:

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

For many, the anxiety surrounding dental visits can feel more overwhelming than the procedure itself. Don’t let fear keep you from receiving the care you need. If dental anxiety affects you, let us know—our team is here to listen and support you. Oral sedation offers a calm and reassuring way to make your visit as stress-free as possible.

Making Time Fly By

Long dental procedures can feel daunting, but oral sedation helps you remain relaxed and at ease, making the time seem to pass quickly. This ensures that even lengthy treatments feel more manageable and comfortable.

Tailored for Your Personal Needs

Oral sedation is adaptable to meet various needs. It’s an excellent solution if you have a sensitive gag reflex, struggle with chronic restlessness, or find that local anesthesia alone isn’t sufficient. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and accessible dental experience, regardless of your unique sensitivities or challenges.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill to induce deep relaxation. Unlike nitrous oxide, which provides quick but short-lasting effects, or IV sedation, which requires a needle for immediate sedation, oral sedation is non-invasive and needle-free. It allows patients to remain awake yet significantly relaxed throughout the procedure.

No, driving after oral sedation is not safe. The medication can impair your judgment, coordination, and reaction time. You’ll need someone to drive you home and it’s recommended that someone stays with you for a few hours until the sedation effects fully subside.

The effects of oral sedation can vary depending on the medication and individual response but typically last between two to eight hours. It’s advised to rest for the remainder of the day after your dental procedure.

Yes, you will remain conscious and able to communicate with your dentist. Oral sedation reduces anxiety to help you stay calm and responsive while still allowing you to follow instructions during the procedure.

Preparation usually includes fasting for a specific period before your appointment—generally six hours for food and two hours for liquids. Your dentist will provide exact instructions based on the prescribed medication. Wear comfortable clothing and avoid alcohol or other sedatives unless directed otherwise. Be sure to inform your dentist about any medications or supplements you’re taking to prevent drug interactions.

By far the best dental clinic I've been to. I came to them last year needing to get some fillings done, my wisdom teeth taken out, regular cleanings, etc and they were so pleasant to deal with from start to finish. Breanna at the front desk always greets you with a smile and makes sure you're well taken care of, Sara is a very thorough hygienist and takes a lot of pride in her work, and Dr. KG works with you directly to create a treatment plan that works best for you and your needs. They are all fantastic at their jobs and truly make going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. I feel very grateful to have such a great clinic that I know I can trust!

As a very anxious and needy patient - I cannot give higher praise to this dental office. Every single staff member I have interacted with has been kind, patient and understanding. They were able to fit me in for an emergency root canal after a fumble at a different dental office in town. I have happily become a regular patient and have been over the moon with the services and care provided. I cannot recommend this team enough, best dentist office in town!
