Once you've experienced sedation dentistry at Beasley Cosmetic and General Dentistry, you'll never be afraid to go to the dentist again.

Many of our patients choose to be sedated during their dental treatment. Relief of dental anxiety, little to no memory of the visit, procedures lasting hours seem to pass in minutes, and combination of several visits into one are just some of the many benefits from choosing sedation during your cosmetic, gum disease, or general dentistry treatment.

You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing.  You'll wake up refreshed, with little or no memory of what was accomplished.

Because you are completely comfortable, we can do years of dental treatments in one or two visits.  We can replace crowns or dentures, restore sore gums to good health, whiten yellow or stained teeth, fix chipped or worn teeth, and much more.  People with very busy schedules can get the dental care they need, easily and quickly.

Imagine being able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. No wonder so many patients say: "Sedation dentistry changed my life."

Sedation Dentistry Information
 

Before starting any treatment our staff will thoroughly review your medical history and the non IV sedation process. On the day of your appointment, a companion will drive you to our office where you'll take medication - a single pill an hour prior to your dental appointment. Many patients feel no discomfort whatsoever during and after treatment and have little or no memory of the visit.

When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted into a comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket and placed on a specialized monitor to closely record your vital signs. Trained and experienced clinical team members will make certain that you're relaxed and completely comfortable during your entire visit.

When your treatment is completed your companion will return you home to finish your comfortable, relaxing day.

The Facts Of Sedation Dentistry

It Really Works! You really can relax through your dental appointment.

It Is Safe! You take a small pill prior to treatment, no intravenous tubes or needles.

You will have little or no memory of the experience. You won't remember any sounds or smells.

You can relax for up to five to six hours after taking the pill. The time you are relaxing will vary depending on your needed treatment.

Complex dental treatments that often require six to eight appointments, can be done in as little as one! All while you relax.

People who have difficulty getting numb will find that sedation dentistry eliminates this problem.

People who have a severe gag reflex can relax comfortably while their dentistry is performed.

Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
