Oral Conscious Sedation is an  opportunity for those whose extreme anxiety over dental visits has prevented them from pursuing oral health as part of their general health care.  Our job in providing sedation is to make an avenue for you to address your dental needs and goals in a manner that is comprehensive, routine and anxiety-free.  In the end, we want you to feel great about your oral health in terms of a great smile, as well as pain-free function, and with the confidence in knowing that your oral health is something you can maintain.

Oral Conscious Sedation employs well established oral sedative protocols to achieve an "out but not under" level of relaxation.  As opposed to general anesthesia, you are not subject to the risks that attend "being put to sleep", such as the inability to maintain your own breathing, pulse, and protective reflexes, as well as the inability to communicate. On the other hand, the level of relaxation goes well beyond that achieved by "taking a Valium before your appointment" or with Nitrous Oxide ("laughing gas").  Sedation reaches a level where time perception stops, allowing for longer, but fewer appointments, and brings about an amnesic affect regarding your appointment resulting in virtually no memory of the dental procedures performed.  Sophisticated monitoring equipment is employed to maintain proper levels of sedation, and protocols can be customized to fit your needs and preferences.

Sound oral health and a better smile are just around the corner!!
