Sedation Dentistry
Comfortable sedation options that let you relax completely during your procedure — ideal for patients with dental anxiety or complex treatments.
About Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety affects millions of people, and at Rae Implant Dentistry, we believe that fear should never be a barrier to getting the care you need. Our sedation dentistry options allow you to undergo procedures in complete comfort, whether you're having a single implant placed or a full-mouth restoration.
We offer multiple levels of sedation tailored to your needs and the complexity of your procedure. Local anesthesia numbs the treatment area, oral sedation provides a deeper state of relaxation, and IV sedation offers the deepest level of conscious sedation for patients who need it most.
Under sedation, you remain conscious and can respond to instructions, but you'll feel deeply relaxed and may have little to no memory of the procedure afterward. Many patients describe it as feeling like the procedure took only minutes, even when it lasted much longer.
Our team is extensively trained in administering and monitoring sedation, with patient safety as our top priority. We'll evaluate your medical history, discuss your comfort level, and recommend the sedation option that's right for you during your consultation.

Common Questions
Sedation Dentistry FAQ
Will I be completely unconscious during sedation?
With the sedation options we offer, you remain in a state of deep relaxation but are still conscious and able to respond to instructions. You won't feel pain and may have little to no memory of the procedure. General anesthesia (full unconsciousness) is typically not needed for dental implant procedures.
Is dental sedation safe?
Yes, dental sedation is very safe when administered by a trained professional. We conduct a thorough review of your medical history before recommending any sedation option, and your vital signs are continuously monitored throughout the entire procedure.
Can I drive myself home after sedation?
If you receive oral or IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home after your appointment. The effects can take several hours to fully wear off. With local anesthesia only, you are generally fine to drive yourself.
How do I know which sedation option is right for me?
During your consultation, we'll discuss your anxiety level, medical history, and the specifics of your planned procedure. Based on these factors, we'll recommend the sedation option that provides the right level of comfort for your situation.
