Sedation Dentist

Feel Relaxed in the Treatment Chair

If you feel anxious or fearful at the thought of visiting the dentist, or you’re receiving a lengthy treatment that you feel will be difficult to sit through comfortably, we offer dental sedation to help you relax. Sedation dentistry is also excellent for those with disabilities or who feel overwhelmed taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the dental office. If you feel you could benefit from oral conscious or IV sedation, give us a call so we can inform you of your options. We want you to have a comfortable visit!

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is great for those who are scared of needles or experience mild to moderate dental fear. Before your appointment, our team will prescribe you a pill. You’ll take it before you arrive or as soon as you reach our office, and within about 30 minutes, you’ll notice its calming effects. Because the medication can linger for several hours, it’s important to have a trusted friend or family member drop you off and pick you up from our office.

IV Sedation

Similar to oral conscious sedation, IV sedation has lasting effects, requiring you to arrange a ride to and from our office. We typically recommend this method of sedation for those undergoing oral surgery or more extensive and lengthy procedures. While you remain conscious in the treatment chair, you likely won’t remember much from your visit itself, which is great for those who have severe dental phobia.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs

Oral conscious sedation is a prescribed pill you take before your appointment, while IV sedation is administered directly through a vein for a deeper, more controllable level of relaxation. 360 Dental Lounge offers both, and Dr. Doshi and Dr. Bavishi will recommend the right option based on your anxiety level and the complexity of your procedure.

No - both oral conscious sedation and IV sedation require you to arrange for a driver to bring you to and from your appointment, since the sedative effects can linger for several hours. Plan to have someone with you for the rest of the day as the medication fully wears off.

Yes, when administered by a trained dental team that monitors you throughout the procedure. Your dentist will review your medical history beforehand to confirm which sedation option is appropriate for you.

Sedation dentistry is well suited for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or those undergoing longer or more invasive procedures like implant placement or wisdom tooth extraction. A consultation will determine which level of sedation fits your needs.
