Yes! Sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by trained professionals. We carefully monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure comfort and safety.
With nitrous oxide and oral sedation, you won't be asleep but will feel relaxed and less aware of your surroundings. You'll remain responsive, but many patients don't remember the procedure afterward.
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes after your mask is removed. Oral sedation may last a few hours after the procedure. You'll need a ride home if you choose oral sedation.
Most patients feel relaxed and a little tired after sedation. For nitrous oxide, the effects wear off quickly. For oral sedation, finding someone to drive you home is essential.
Coverage varies, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider for the most direct answer. Our team can also assist you with verifying coverage and payment options. Please contact our office.
Patients generally feel calm and relaxed. With nitrous oxide, you can return to your regular activities almost immediately. For oral sedation, you'll likely feel groggy for a few hours and should rest for the remainder of the day.
