Will I be asleep during the procedure?

The level of sedation varies depending on the type used. With nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, you'll be relaxed but awake and able to respond to instructions. IV sedation can induce a deeper state of relaxation where you may not remember the procedure, but you'll still be able to breathe on your own and respond to stimuli.

How do I prepare for sedation dentistry?

Your dentist will provide specific instructions based on the type of sedation you'll receive. Generally, you should: Avoid eating or drinking for a certain period before the procedure. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward. Inform your dentist about any medications or medical conditions you have. By following these guidelines, you can ensure a safe and successful sedation experience.

Types of Sedation

Laughing Gas (Inhalation Sedation)

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over one’s nose. It helps one feel calm and relaxed while remaining fully conscious. The effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately.

Oral Sedation

This moderate level of sedation allows you to feel almost like you’re taking a light nap during your visit. However, you’ll still be conscious enough to answer simple questions or directions. The medication is taken by mouth before the appointment and lasts for a few hours before it wears off. Most people remember little to nothing about their appointment.

IV Sedation

Intravenous sedation is administered through an IV line for longer or more complex procedures, such as wisdom tooth removal or placing multiple dental implants. This medication makes it feel like you’re sleeping during your visit, but you will still be semi-conscious. Like oral sedation, IV sedation provides a bit of an amnesic effect, where you may not remember much or anything about your visit.
