Dental anxiety is common. The clinic offers sedation dentistry options for appropriate patients after reviewing medical history, medications, procedure complexity, fasting requirements, and the need for an escort.
Sedation depth and medication are selected for the individual patient. IV sedation, when included in the plan, must be administered and monitored by a qualified anesthesia professional with appropriate vital-sign monitoring. Sedation reduces awareness and anxiety but does not eliminate all risk or guarantee complete amnesia.
Advanced sterilizing and diagnostic tools ensure maximum patient safety during sedation.
Before sedation, the team reviews relevant health information and provides fasting, medication, escort, and recovery instructions. Your individual risks and monitoring plan should be discussed before consent.
Sedation dentistry is also highly beneficial for patients with a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or those who require multiple procedures completed in a single visit. It allows Dr. Moguel to work efficiently and precisely while you rest comfortably, drastically reducing the number of appointments needed and speeding up your total treatment time.
What to Expect with Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is designed to make your appointment feel like a brief, peaceful dream. The typical experience involves:
Medical Review: We thoroughly evaluate your medical history, current medications, and health status to select the safest sedation method.
Fast Protocol: For IV sedation, you must avoid eating or drinking anything for 8 hours prior to your surgery.
Administration: Medications are administered in our comfortable surgical suite. You will quickly feel warm, deeply relaxed, and sleepy.
Continuous Monitoring: A dedicated professional monitors your vital signs throughout the entire procedure.
Recovery & Escort: You will gently wake up in our recovery room. Because the sedative takes a few hours to fully wear off, you must have an adult companion accompany you to your hotel.
The clinic offers sedation options for appropriate patients after medical review and with suitable monitoring.
Recovery varies by medication, procedure, and patient. Follow all discharge instructions, arrange an escort when required, and do not drive or make important decisions until the clinical team clears you.
Treatment Cost Comparison
Compare the clinic planning range with an itemized quote for the same treatment scope:
We offer local anesthesia, oral conscious sedation (a pill that relaxes you), and IV conscious sedation (administered intravenously by an anesthesiologist for a deep sleep-like state), matching your anxiety level and surgical needs.
Is IV sedation safe? +
IV sedation has risks and is not appropriate for every patient. Eligibility is determined after medical review, and a qualified anesthesia professional must administer and monitor it.
Will I remember anything under IV sedation? +
Virtually nothing. IV conscious sedation has an amnestic effect, meaning you will sleep peacefully through the procedure and have no memory of the sounds, sights, or sensations of the dental surgery.
