Imagine not being afraid of the dentist! Imagine accomplishing all your dental care in as little as one appointment! With sedation dentistry you don't have to be afraid anymore. You simply take a small pill before your treatment begins and the next thing you know your dental work is completed!  The technique is called oral conscious sedation and uses the latest medications available to help you relax and receive dental care comfortably.  Before starting any treatments, we review your medical history, explain how sedation dentistry can work for you, and prescribe the medication that is most appropriate.  On the day of your appointment, you will take the medication and have a companion bring you to our office and take you home again. During your treatment, our experienced clinical team makes certain you're relaxed and completely comfortable and monitors you very closely while you're sedated. Since it is important for Dr. Stewart to communicate with you during treatment, your level of consciousness is constantly regulated -- you just don't remember your treatment!

Most of our patients tell us they felt no discomfort during the appointment, were comfortable afterwards and were surprised that they could not remember very much about their visit!

 With oral conscious sedation, we are able to successfully treat patients who have had unpleasant past dental experiences or problems getting numb, patients with advanced dental problems, very sensitive teeth and gums, a high gag reflex, a fear of needles and shots, or who have had no dental treatment for more than five years and are very apprehensive.  This is also ideal for patients who choose longer, more efficient appointments or have complex dentistry they want completed quickly. Oral conscious sedation is a gem of a service! For many patients, it is a dream come true. If you are afraid of dentistry, this may be the answer for you.

 For those who feel they need a stronger sedative approach, IV Sedation can be arranged for and provided in our office.
