Tell me more about Sedation Dentistry
It really works! You really can relax through your dental appointment.
It is safe! We will give you one small pill prior to treatment, no intraveneous tubes or needles. You will have little or no memory of the experience. You probably won't remember any sounds or smells. You will relax for up to five or six hours after taking the pill. The time you are relaxing will vary depending on your needed treatment.
Complex dental treatments that often require six to eight appointments, can be done in as little as one at Smiles Need Sedation! All while you relax!
People who have difficulty getting numb will find that relax
dentistry eliminates this problem.

How does Sedation Dentistry work?
We will give you a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment. Your companion will accompany you to the office. By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy.
When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted into the comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs. After you are comfortable, the experienced clinical team at our office will take care of your d9ental needs.
Once you've experienced sedation dentistry, you'll probably never be afraid to go to the dentist again.
You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. You'll wake up refreshed with little or no memory of what was accomplished. Because you are completely comfortable, we can do years of dental treatments in as little as one or two visits.
We can replace crowns, restore sore gums to good health, whiten yellow or stained teeth, fix a chipped tooth, and more. People with very busy schedules can get the dental care they need, easily and quickly.
Imagine being able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. No wonder so many patients say: "Thank you. Sedation dentistry changed my life."
