Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It's sometimes referred to as "sleep dentistry," although patients are usually awake except for those under general anesthesia. At Atascocita Dentistry, we offer several levels of sedation to cater to your specific needs:
- Minimal Sedation: You are awake but relaxed.
- Moderate Sedation: You may slur your words when speaking and not remember much of the procedure.
- Deep Sedation: You are on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened.
- General Anesthesia: You are completely unconscious.

IV sedation offers numerous advantages, making it an excellent choice for many patients:
- Deep Relaxation: You remain deeply relaxed and free from anxiety during your procedure.
- Quick Onset: The sedative takes effect quickly, allowing for a prompt start to your treatment.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs
Common questions about dental sedation
Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by trained professionals. Dr. Ehsan is certified in IV sedation and our team monitors your vital signs throughout the procedure. We conduct a thorough medical history review before recommending any sedation option.
With IV sedation, you'll be in a deeply relaxed, twilight state. Most patients have little to no memory of the procedure and often feel like they slept through it. You can still respond to verbal cues, but you'll feel no anxiety or discomfort during treatment.
The effects of IV sedation typically wear off within a few hours after your procedure. However, you may feel drowsy for the rest of the day, which is why we require someone to drive you home. Oral sedation effects can last 4-6 hours.
Sedation dentistry is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflex, difficulty getting numb, or those requiring lengthy procedures. It's also great for patients who want to complete multiple treatments in one visit. We'll evaluate your health history to determine the best option for you.
Oral sedation involves taking a pill before your appointment, providing mild to moderate relaxation. IV sedation is administered through an IV and provides deeper sedation with faster onset and more precise control. Dr. Ehsan can adjust IV sedation levels throughout your procedure for optimal comfort.
