What is Oral Sedation?
Oral sedation involves taking a small pill prior to your dental procedure. The pill is designed to relax and calm you down enough for the work to be done. This sedative option is ideal for individuals who are typically nervous when coming in for different treatments. We will instruct you on when and how to take the pill in order for it to work properly.
Single Tooth Replacement
A single tooth supported by an implant is often the best choice. Adjacent teeth are not affected and the area can be easily cleaned.
Why would Oral Sedation be needed?
There are several reasons for why you might benefit from oral sedation. First, we might recommend this option if you tend to be nervous and scared when coming into the office to have work done. You might benefit from oral sedation if you have trouble sitting still for your appointment or would like to stay calm and relaxed at all times while in the chair. This type of sedative option is quick, easy and provides you with the calming effects you want.
