Sedation dentistry is completely safe and totally effective: As waves of tranquility wash over you, the only thing youll feel is calm. Once the sedative has taken effect, well apply a local anesthetic to temporarily block the nerves in the area of your mouth being worked on. While you are sedated, time passes by quickly Even a complex procedure that can last for hours only seems to take a few minutes.
We create for our patients an experience that is free of anxiety and pain. It is important to remember that you will be sedated but not asleep. Even though youll be fully awake and alert during the procedure, youll remember little if anything about it afterwards. We understand getting dental treatment might be stressful and will help to make your anxiety melt away.
Our office uses state-of-the-art sterilization techniques, such as autoclaves, to maintain strict standards of hygiene. All instruments used during treatment are first washed in the ultrasonic machine and then sterilized in an autoclave that utilizes steam at a very high heat and applies pressure to kill all microorganisms.We take patient safety very seriously!
