If you suffer from dental anxiety, have had negative experiences at the dental office in the past or feel nervous about your treatment, our periodontist may recommend sedation dentistry to help you feel at ease in our office so that you can receive the treatment you need. Sedation dentistry may also be recommended if you have difficulty getting numb or have a sensitive gag reflex.

Sedation dentistry involves using a sedative medication to help you feel relaxed, calm and comfortable. There are several types of sedation available, ranging from mild forms of sedation that simply help you feel relaxed to deeper forms of sedation which put you to sleep for the duration of your treatment. Prior to providing you with dental sedation, our periodontist will meet with you to discuss your options. We will review your oral health needs, medical history and treatment options with you. We will also discuss your level of comfort in the dental office. This will help us determine which form of sedation will provide you with the best results.

Regardless of which type of sedation you receive, our periodontist and team will monitor you closely during your visit to ensure that you are safe and comfortable. We may also provide you with instructions on how to prepare to receive sedation or what you should do after an appointment where you received sedation dentistry. For example, some forms of sedation dentistry require you to have someone available to drive you to and from your appointment.

If you have any questions about sedation dentistry or would like to schedule a consultation with our periodontist, please contact our office today.

Patient Reviews

She amazing. She helped me with my receding gums, after she gave me the deepest general cleaning of my life. She is super friendly, and works with you every step of the way. I tell all my friends to go to her for cleanings

First time visiting Dr Morovati. She was very attentive and thorough in her examination. Explained clearly what she was doing and what the next steps should be. Very happy with her!

I went to her because I needed a second opinion on my gums. She was patient and clear in her diagnosis, laying out the options on the table. There was never any pressure to do thing or the other, which I appreciate
