Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by a trained and experienced dentist like Dr. Michael Martins. Our team closely monitors your vital signs during your appointment.

How long does the sedation last?

The duration of sedation varies based on the method used. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral and IV sedation effects may linger for a few hours.

Can I drive home after my appointment?

If you opt for nitrous oxide, you should be able to drive yourself. However, for oral and IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home.

DENTAL SEDATION OPTIONS

We offer a range of sedation options to cater to your unique needs:

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a safe and commonly used sedative that helps patients relax during their dental appointments.

It is administered through a mask that you breathe through your nose.

The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your daily activities without any lingering drowsiness.

Oral Sedation

For those with moderate dental anxiety, oral sedation might be the ideal choice.

Dr. Martins will prescribe a specific medication to be taken before your appointment, helping you feel calm and at ease.

IV Sedation

Intravenous sedation provides the deepest level of relaxation, making it suitable for patients with severe dental phobias or complex procedures.

Administered intravenously, this method allows Dr. Martins to adjust the level of sedation as needed throughout your appointment.
