Sedation Dentistry...


You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were snoozing. 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 treatment in one or two visits. We can replace crowns or dentures, 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 more confidently. No wonder so many patients say: "Sedation dentistry changed my life."

It Really Works!

You really can snooze through your dental appointment.

You will have little or no memory of the experience. You won't remember any sounds or smells.

You will snooze for up to five to six hours after taking the pill. The time you are snoozing 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! All while you snooze.

People who have difficulty getting numb will find that sedation dentistry eliminates this problem.

Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
