How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?

Generally, you will take a small amount of medicine the night before your dental appointment, and then again about one hour before your scheduled dental appointment you will be given some sedative medication. This will begin to make you feel relaxed and even feeling a little drowsy.

You may also be given additional medication and taken to a treatment area. You won’t be unconscious, but you’ll enjoy a soothing mental and emotional relaxation. A soft blanket and quiet music will help you feel comfortable as our staff watches over you and tends to your needs. The next thing you know Dr. Ostler will gently arouse you and tell you the treatment is over and that it’s time to go home.

Relaxing during a dental appointment? It’s called “Sedation Dentistry” and it may well be the greatest advance ever made towards truly pain-free and anxiety-free dentistry!

Sedation dentistry allows you to fix years of neglect and worry while comfortably relaxed and unaware. Since you are completely comfortable, relaxed, and pain free, Dr. Ostler can do years of dental treatments in one or two dental visits. If you have dental fears or hate going to the dentist, you may now find your visit at the dentist to be a relaxing and enjoyable one.

With conscious sedation, your team at The Center For Dental Health can fix chipped teeth, broken smiles, and shattered dreams – all pain free and without remembering anything - while you relax in comfort.
