Sedation

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Sedation

Sedation can be used for all types of dental or cosmetic treatments and ensures you are unaware of the dental treatment. You will not be unconscious but will feel completely relaxed with little or no memory of the treatment you received after the effects of sedation have worn off.

Sedation was a fantastic way of visiting the dentist

Suzanne, Wirksworth

How will I be sedated?

Need text here about exactly what happens during sedation You will be given a pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment.  Your companion will accompany you to the office.  By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy. When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted into the comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs.  After you are comfortable, our experienced clinical team will take care of your dental needs.

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