Sedation Dentistry Services

Sedation Dentistry bridges the gap between new technology and patient comfort. After an initial consultation, your Sedation Dentistry appointment will be scheduled. You are given a small pill to make you snooze through your dental appointment. Even though you are not technically asleep, our patients describe the experience as seeming to be asleep. You will have little or no memory of the appointment. You will not even remember any sounds or smells.

With Sedation Dentistry, you will find that your treatment is performed more comfortably than you might ever have thought possible. You will be drowsy and unaware of the time passing by. During the entire appointment you will be monitored continually by our specially trained team of professionals.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation Dentistry is especially useful for adult patients who:

•  Have high anxiety about dental visits
•  Have had traumatic dental experiences in the past
•  Have difficulty getting numb
•  Have a strong gag reflex
•  Have TMJ troubles and cannot open their mouth for extended periods
•  Are afraid of needles
•  Have sensitive teeth
•  Hate the noises and/or smells associated with dental care
•  Simply do not have the time for multiple visits

Sedation Dentistry is only for adult patients. Dr. Meza will schedule a consultation appointment first to answer any questions and screen for any medical reasons you may not be eligible for Sedation Dentistry.

I.V. Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry at our facility is intended to make patients as comfortable as possible, and I.V. sedation dentistry is just one method we use to ensure patient comfort. While you are sedated, you will be conscious but relaxed, and you will not feel any pain. I.V. sedation dentistry is very safe, and we closely observe your vital signs throughout your treatment.
