Common Questions About Sedation Candidacy

Question: How do you decide whether my anxiety qualifies as “severe dental anxiety?”

Answer: We don’t need to. We offer sedation dentistry to most healthy patients who feels nervous. This may mean that you fall anywhere on the spectrum of dental anxiety, from severe nervousness to mild nerves.

Question: Can I choose sedation dentistry if I am not nervous at all but I am dealing with other issues?

Answer: Yes. This is a wonderful benefit of sedation. The time will seem to pass quite fast, while we complete work within a condensed block of visits.

Answer: Yes, we offer both oral sedation and IV sedation. We will speak with you about the best solution for your needs.
