Will I be unconscious during the procedure with sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry does not render you unconscious but is the next best thing. You’ll be in a hazy state—able to respond to the dentist but remiss to recall your treatment afterward.

Sedation dentistry is like being in a twilight or ‘low light” state of relaxation. You’ll not mind that you’re having a dental procedure and be somewhat unaware.

Options for Sedation Dentistry in Glendale, CA

Our sedation options mean you should not drive or operate heavy machinery on the day of treatment. We also recommend not making any critical decisions until the next day.

Before treatment, your dentist will take a health history to determine whether sedation dentistry is safe for you. Additionally, we monitor you constantly while you’re under sedation.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is a pill that promotes detachment and relaxation. It is administered before your procedure.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is delivered intravenously and produces similar feelings. However, IV sedation takes hold much quicker than oral sedation.
