Patient Comfort Measures
Answers to your questions about IV sedation dentistry
Will I feel any pain?
No. You will feel nothing!
Will I be unconscious?
No, you will be in a deeply relaxed state, and you will be able to respond to us.
Will I be monitored?
Yes, we are always with you and your vital signs are monitored during the entire visit. You are never alone.
How long will I be relaxing?
Depending upon your needs, from two to six hours.
Because you are totally comfortable, all of your dental care may be completed in just one or two visits. We can replace crowns or missing teeth, extract wisdom teeth, treat gum disease, whiten yellow or stained teeth, repair a chipped tooth, and more. People with very busy schedules can receive the dental care they need, easily, quickly and comfortably.
Will someone need to accompany me?
Yes, due to the sedative effects of the medication, you will need someone to drive you to our office and home again.
