  5. extensive dental problems

This is what you can count on...

You will be given some oral medication to take about an hour before you come to the office for your treatment. When you arrive in our office, you will already be feeling drowsy so you must be accompanied by a companion. Upon arrival, you will be escorted to the relaxation room. We will cover you up with a cozy warm blanket and monitor your vital signs at all times, more medication will be given depending on procedures and length of your appointment. When you are totally relaxed and comfortable, we will take care of your dental needs. When we have completed your dental treatment, we will have your companion take you home to enjoy the rest of your relaxing day.

As for the facts...

Most patients report that they feel absolutely nothing and that during their appointments they are relaxed and comfortable at all times.

You will not be unconscious. You will be in a deep and relaxed state but will be responsive.

You will only be sedated for as long as your dental needs require.

You will be sedated, so you will require a companion to drive you to your appointment and home again after.

One of our team members will be with you or monitoring you at ALL times during your visit with us. We will monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety.
