What is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry uses medication to help you relax during dental treatment. Depending on your needs, this may involve mild sedation to ease nerves, or a deeper level of sedation so you’re fully relaxed and often unaware of the procedure.
It’s ideal for patients who:
- Experience significant dental anxiety or phobia
- Require lengthy or multiple procedures
- Have a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still
- Want a more comfortable experience for complex treatments
With proper assessment and monitoring, sleep dentistry is a safe, effective way to make dental care accessible for everyone.
