Frequently Asked Questions

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes. Sedation dentistry is safe when administered by highly qualified sedation dentists. We follow strict safety protocols, monitor patients throughout the procedure, and conduct thorough pre-screening to ensure your eligibility for each sedation type.

How long does dental sedation last?

The duration depends on the sedation type used. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly after treatment, while oral sedation may take several hours. We provide clear guidance on post-treatment care based on your sedation plan.

Can children get sedation?

Yes. Sedation can be safely administered to children when necessary. We evaluate your child’s medical history and dental health needs to help evaluate the safest and most effective option.

Will I feel anything during the procedure?

Most patients report little to no sensation during treatment. Sedation significantly reduces discomfort and anxiety, allowing you to remain relaxed throughout the procedure.

Does insurance cover sedation?

Coverage depends on your dental plan. Some providers cover sedation for specific procedures or medical needs. We’re happy to review your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment.
