Conscious Oral Sedation Dentistry

If you are uneasy about seeing the dentist, we can provide oral medications to help you relax during dental procedures. Oral sedation can help patients who want a lot of work done in a single visit too.

Affordable Cost

The costs for oral sedation compared with other types, such as intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia, are inexpensive. Oral sedatives can be administered alone, or together with nitrous oxide.

Multiple Patient Benefits

Sedation dentistry removes those reasons that can prevent patients from receiving the dental care they need. Oral conscious sedation can alleviate dental phobias to transform fears into a pleasant experience. Patients also feel less tired after treatments - plus they can tolerate longer appointment times without having to schedule numerous, additional visits.

Relaxing Oral Sedation

Dr. Hayes has received special training and continues to stay up-to-date on sedation dentistry. He is uniquely- qualified to use sedative meds to relieve dental anxiety in his patients.

With 'Conscious Oral Sedation,' patients can achieve total relaxation throughout their dentistry procedures. The patient is at all times fully able to hear and respond to the dentist.

Sedation Dentistry is the perfect solution for those patients who are anxious or fearful of seeing their dentist. Dr. Hayes is very sensitive to the needs of his patients and with safe, effective, sedation dentistry, you'll never have to avoid the dental care you need and deserve.
