Dental Sedation
Relax and Feel Comfortable During Your Dental Visit
What Is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation involves using safe, controlled medication to help patients stay calm and comfortable during dental procedures. It does not necessarily put you to sleep but allows you to feel relaxed and at ease while still being able to respond to your dentist if needed.
At Revita Dentistry, we use sedation options that are fully approved, carefully monitored, and tailored to your needs and treatment type.
Who Can Benefit from Dental Sedation?
Sedation dentistry is helpful for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Struggle to sit still during longer procedures
- Have sensitive teeth or gums
- Need multiple treatments in one appointment
- Had negative dental experiences in the past
No matter your reason, our compassionate team will ensure your comfort and safety throughout your visit.
Type of Sedation We Offer
At Revita Dentistry, we offer General Anesthesia for patients who need a deeper level of relaxation during dental care. This advanced sedation option is ideal for individuals with severe dental anxiety, extensive treatment needs, a strong gag reflex, or difficulty staying comfortable during long procedures.
General anesthesia is the deepest and most controlled form of dental sedation. It allows you to sleep comfortably through your entire treatment, completely free from pain, fear, or stress while our experienced team performs your procedure safely and efficiently.
The anesthesia is carefully administered and continuously monitored by a licensed anesthesia professional throughout your visit. Once your treatment is complete, you will gently wake up in our recovery area feeling relaxed, with little or no memory of the procedure.
