Will I be unconscious during relaxation dentistry?

Unlike general anesthesia, where you are rendered completely unconscious, you are always in control with sleep dentistry. This provides a calm, relaxing experience for those fearful or anxious about dental procedures.

Oral conscious sedation, also known as Relaxation Dentistry, utilizes oral sedative medication to significantly reduce your fears and discomfort. This does not require needles to administer and is less expensive than IV sedation.

Although you will not actually be asleep, you will enjoy a heightened state of relaxation — and probably won’t remember much about the procedure afterwards. Your appointment will be a dream and hours in the chair will feel like minutes. Oral conscious sedation will put you at ease so you experience little to no discomfort; however, your doctor will also administer a local anesthetic to ensure that you don’t experience any pain. At this point in the procedure you’ll be so relaxed that you’ll hardly even notice.
