What is oral sedation?

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill that helps you feel relaxed during your dental procedure. It’s a safe, easy option for patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing more extensive treatments.

How long does oral sedation last?

The effects of oral sedation usually last for a few hours, including the time of your appointment. You’ll likely feel drowsy after treatment, so it’s important to have someone drive you home.

Is sedation covered by insurance?

Sedation may or may not be covered by dental insurance. At Espire Dental, we offer free oral sedation for larger cases, ensuring you receive the care you need without added stress.

Will I be asleep during the procedure?

No, you won’t be asleep. Oral sedation keeps you awake but deeply relaxed. Most patients report feeling detached from the procedure and may not remember it afterward.

How does oral sedation compare to IV sedation?

Oral sedation is a more mild form of sedation compared to IV sedation. While both provide anxiety relief, oral sedation involves taking a pill, making it less invasive than IV sedation.

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes! Sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by experienced professionals like

Dr. Sophia Aramoon. We’ll review your medical history and ensure you’re a good candidate before prescribing sedation.
