Oral sedation involves taking a prescription sedative pill — typically from the benzodiazepine family — about an hour before your appointment. By the time you arrive at the clinic, you’ll already feel calm, drowsy, and significantly less anxious. You remain conscious and can respond to your dentist, but the worry simply fades away.

Our team will review your health history and medications to select the right sedative and dose for you. You’ll need to arrange a ride home, as the effects can last after your appointment.
