Why Do People Choose Sedation?
Beyond having a dental phobia, there are other reasons why people benefit from dental sedation, including:
- Bad gag reflex
- Previous bad dental experience
- Decreases pain or discomfort
- Immune to numbing agents
- Sensitive teeth
- Needs several treatments completed at once
- Difficulty keeping your mouth open
Minimal Oral Conscious
If you need something stronger than your average sedative to help you relax for your appointment, we feature minimal oral conscious sedation. About an hour before your treatment, you’ll take a small pill.
When you arrive for your appointment, you’ll begin to feel calm and slightly drowsy. While you might not fall into a deep sleep, some patients do periodically doze off.
Following the successful placement of your dental implants, Dr. Bauer will gently wake you by giving you a light nudge. Since oral conscious sedation can last longer than your appointment, it’s crucial that you have someone to drive you home afterward.
