Oral Conscious

If you’re looking for a sedative that will cause you to forget most of your procedure, we offer oral conscious sedation. This method uses a strong pill or liquid sedative that you’ll take about 30-60 minutes before your procedure for a peaceful, pleasant experience.

Nitrous Oxide

Nervous about treatment, but want to avoid being deeply sedated? With nitrous oxide, you’ll experience a floaty, worry-free feeling that won’t leave you with side effects. Right after treatment, you can drive yourself home and get back to your day-to-day routine.

The Benefits of Sedation

Smooth Procedures

By calming your body, sedation prevents any unnecessary movements and helps your dentist work more efficiently. This often means shorter and smoother appointments.

Keeps Care Precise

Sedation minimizes reflexes like choking or gagging, which allows your dentist to provide a higher quality of care with fewer interruptions.

Encourages Positive Dental Memories

A comfortable, pain-free treatment can change your outlook on dental visits. Positive experiences can help reduce your dental fears over time and build confidence.

The Sedation Treatment Process

Health & Treatment Evaluation

Health & Treatment Evaluation

To start, your dentist will take a close look at your treatment plan to assess if sedation is a good option for your upcoming procedure. They'll also go over your medical history and discuss any current health conditions that might affect your sedation choices. This step ensures that everything is tailored to your specific health needs.

Address Needs & Concerns

Address Needs & Concerns

Next, your dentist will have a detailed conversation with you about your preferences and worries. How deep do you want the sedation to be? What aspects of the procedure make you nervous? Are you sensitive to pain? This discussion is crucial to understand your expectations and to ensure the sedation fits your comfort level.

Discuss Recommendations & Options

Discuss Recommendations & Options

Finally, your dentist will lay out all the sedation options available to you. They’ll explain how each works, what you can expect, and any side effects to consider. This information, along with your feedback, will help you both choose the best sedation method for a comfortable and worry-free procedure.

Steiner Dental is a great dental facility with a great location in the neighborhood. The staff treats patients as if they were part of their own family. I’m very pleased with the culture as well as the dental services provided!

I can't recommend Steiner Dental enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff, and the positive energy was felt throughout the entire visit.

Office was clean and comfortable, I didn't feel rushed, and everything was done very thoroughly but gently. First dentist appointment where I walked out cheery. Will definitely be coming back for my routine visits and consultations. Highly recommend!
