Care that meets you where you are.
If dental visits make you anxious, you are not alone and you are not a difficult patient. Sedation is one way our team helps you get the care you need while staying comfortable.
Who sedation can help
Patients who feel anxious in the chair, have a sensitive gag reflex, find it hard to get comfortably numb, or would rather handle longer treatment in one sitting often ask about sedation. Tell us what has made past visits difficult.
What to expect
We review your health history and current medications before recommending anything, and our team stays with you throughout the appointment. Plan on someone else driving you home afterward.
Planning your visit
Coverage for sedation varies by plan and by treatment. Our front office can review estimated costs with you beforehand, so there are no surprises.
Rest while we work.
Good to know.
Will I be asleep?
Sedation options differ in how deeply they relax you. Ask our team which option suits your treatment and your health history.
Is sedation right for me?
That depends on your medical history, the treatment planned, and how past visits have gone. We will talk it through before anything is scheduled.
Can I drive myself home?
No. Please arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you afterward.
How do I get started?
Book a consultation online or call our Blacklick office and tell us you would like to discuss sedation.
