General

Sedation for patients who have been putting it off

Overview

For patients who have been putting it off

Some people have been putting off dental care for years, and willpower is not the missing ingredient. Sedation makes it possible to complete treatment comfortably, and it often allows several visits to be consolidated into one.

Anxiety is treated here as a clinical factor, not an inconvenience. What you are asked to tolerate, the pace of the appointment, and how much you are told during it are all adjustable.

Whether sedation is appropriate for you depends on your medical history and the treatment planned, and it is decided with your dentist rather than requested from a menu.

Who it is for

Candidacy is confirmed in person, not online.

  • You avoid the dentist because of anxiety and have treatment outstanding.

  • You have a strong gag reflex or difficulty staying comfortable in the chair.

  • You need several procedures and would rather consolidate the visits.

  • Past dental experiences have made routine appointments hard to face.
