Everything you need to know
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. With nitrous oxide and oral sedation, you remain conscious and responsive, and our Washington DC sedation dentist team monitors you throughout. We carefully review your medical history first.
Will I be asleep?
No. The options we offer relax you deeply while you stay awake. You will not be placed under general anesthesia.
Who is a good candidate?
Anyone with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or a longer procedure ahead. We will help you decide what fits.
Can sedation be used for routine care?
Absolutely. As your Washington DC sedation dentist, we can pair it with cleanings, fillings, or restorative work, not just major treatment.
