Non-IV Sedation Dentistry
"Sedation Dentistry has really changed things for me. Before I didn't know how I would ever get my teeth taken care of, even though they really hurt and looked awful. But just the thought of dental work was the worst thing I could imagine. With this medication I hardly remembered a thing about the appointment and now my work is all done, after all these years of avoiding the dentist. Thank you, Dr. Daby." - C.M.

We understand that fear and dental anxiety are big reasons why people avoid dentists and put off dental treatment. Thanks to Non-IV Sedation, our office can treat the most anxious patients in a truly comfortable and effective way.
After your dental evaluation, if you want to proceed with Non-IV Oral Sedation for treatment, you will be prescribed Halcion (Triazolam) in pill form. You will take the stated dose an hour and a half prior to your dental sedation appointment and must be escorted to and from your appointment by a responsible adult driver. When you arrive at your appointment, you'll be awake but drowsy. Most importantly, you'll be relaxed and usually will remember very little of the appointment. While you're in the chair, our team will monitor your vital signs, such as blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation.
Patients can choose Non-IV Sedation for everything from simple procedures such as fillings, to more complicated root canals, crowns, extractions and other treatment.
