Conscious sedation is a medically controlled state of relaxation that allows you to remain awake and responsive while feeling completely at ease during dental procedures. At Tranquil Dental Studio, we offer multiple levels of sedation to match your anxiety level and treatment needs.
Unlike general anesthesia, conscious sedation keeps you awake (though you may feel very drowsy), able to respond to commands, and breathing on your own. Most patients have little to no memory of their procedure afterward.
At Tranquil Dental Studio, we believe no one should avoid dental care due to fear or anxiety. Our sedation options make dental visits comfortable, relaxing, and even pleasant for even the most anxious patients.
Personalized sedation options at Tranquil Dental Studio for every level of anxiety
A mild sedative inhaled through a small mask. You'll feel relaxed and euphoric within minutes, and the effects wear off almost immediately after the mask is removed — you can drive yourself home.
An anti-anxiety medication taken about an hour before your appointment. You'll feel deeply relaxed but remain awake. You will need a driver to take you home.
Sedatives administered directly into your bloodstream for a deeper level of relaxation. The level of sedation can be adjusted during your procedure. Requires a driver and advance preparation.
