Sedation Dentistry
Relax, your dental visits can be effortless!
We offer Sedation Dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry, as part of our effort to make your experience outstanding and to offer you the latest in modern dentistry. Sedation can help those who may have put off major dental work for years due to fear or anxiety. Catering to anxious patients by offering long appointments that seem to sail by painlessly so that we may accomplish what would take multiple appointments in a single visit. It even helps our patients who have difficulty getting and staying numb!
Dr. Cate monitors each patient with a pulse oximeter so she always knows the patient is safely sleeping. You will still be awake enough to respond to the doctor, but will “sleep” through the entire visit!
One patient said of sedation dentistry:
“I needed major dental work done and am very difficult to numb. I’ve had several painful dental visits in the past years (different dentist) and am now very anxious about having dental work done. I was offered the sedation dentistry and gladly gave it a try. It was definitely the right choice! The appointment was not nerve-wracking and not painful. I would highly suggest it to anyone who has difficulty getting numb or has a high level of anxiety with dental procedures!”
