Sedation Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry Serving Alexandria, Arlington, Virginia, and Washington, DC Areas
We understand that not everyone loves dentistry as much as we do. While modern dentistry is safe, easy and basically pain-free, going to the dentist's office still causes many people fear and anxiety.
Fortunately, sedation dentistry and sleep dentistry are two great ways to take the fear out of going to the dentist. They are interchangeable terms for techniques used to relax you while undergoing cosmetic procedures.
Sleep dentistry
- involves taking a mild sedative before undergoing your procedure
- you will be very relaxed, but not unconscious
- is safe and easy
About an hour before you undergo your procedure, you'll take a mild sedative. The sedative does not render you unconscious. Rather, it makes you feel very relaxed.
After the procedure, you'll need someone to drive you home. Most patients fall asleep afterwards, and wake up feeling very refreshed with little or no memory of the procedure.
If you live in the Arlington, Alexandria, Washington DC or Northern Virginia area and are afraid of the dentist, we can help. We provide safe, comfortable, relaxing cosmetic dentistry.
