Why Choose Polished General Dentistry for Sedation Dentistry?

Oral Conscious Dental Sedation

Even though oral conscious sedation is generally reserved for lengthier treatments and more severe cases of anxiety, the process itself is actually quite simple. You just take a pill at a set time before your appointment, allowing you to enter a state of relaxation so deep that you likely won’t remember anything clearly afterwards. Make arrangements for someone else to drive you to and from our dental office while the effects of the medication still linger.

Comfortable Amenities

We have Netflix available on nearby TV's for you to watch throughout the treatment process, as well as headphones, blankets, and pillows that will help you feel comfier in the treatment chair. Pleasant scents are also present in the dental office for a clean, almost spa-like environment that's sure to help you feel more at ease! We're always ready to go to the extra mile when it comes to helping patients have the best experience possible here.
