How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?
You are given a small pill to swallow before your appointment. A friend drives you to your appointment and by this time you are drowsy and comfortable. You will continue to relax in your own treatment room while drifting off to sleep with a warm cozy blanket. Your vital signs are monitored and our highly trained and experienced clinical team will take care of your dental needs. When your treatment is complete, most people awaken with little or no memory of the visit, but a beautiful smile is visible!

Are you one of the majority of people who has put off going to the dentist due to anxiety and fear of dental treatment?

Dr. Milnar has received special training to administer sedation. With this advanced training, the procedure is very safe. If you like the idea of sleeping through treatment and waking up to your dream smile, dental sedation may be right for you!
Sedation can be achieved either by taking a small pill shortly before your appointment. Once you are dropped off at your appointment, we help you rest comfortably. Although you are conscious during treatment, you are largely unaware of what is happening. Most patients report little or no memory of their appointment afterwards. We constantly monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety. You can rest assured that you are in well-trained, professional hands! Sedation can be used for many general and cosmetic dentistry procedures. If you would like more information about dental sedation, please contact us today
