Sedation Dentistry

If you experience anxiety about visiting the dentist, have a sensitive gag reflex or struggle to remain comfortable during treatment, sedation dentistry may be a helpful option for you. At 7 Day Dental Smiles, we understand that the thought of dental work can cause discomfort for some patients, and sedation can make the process easier and more manageable. Sedation dentistry involves the use of medications to help you relax, providing a calm and comfortable experience from start to finish.

There are different levels of sedation available, depending on your needs and the complexity of your treatment. Minimal sedation will help you feel relaxed but alert, while moderate sedation might make you drowsy, though you will still be conscious. For more intensive procedures or extreme anxiety, deeper sedation can be used, allowing you to sleep through the entire treatment. Regardless of the level of sedation used, our dentists and team will be with you the entire time to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

Before recommending sedation dentistry, our dentists will review your medical history and the nature of your dental treatment. This consultation will help determine which type of sedation is best suited for you. We will also explain how to prepare for the procedure and what to expect afterward, such as whether you will need someone to drive you home or how long the effects of sedation may last.

Our goal is to provide a stress-free experience, ensuring that you receive the dental care you need without fear or discomfort.
