FAQ
Everything you need to know about our anesthesia services.
Patients who feel anxious about dental treatment but wish to remain responsive may consider moderate sedation. It is ideal for individuals seeking a calming option that reduces discomfort while allowing a quicker recovery. This may be an option for patients with complex medical conditions who might not otherwise qualify for general anesthesia in an office-based setting.
Patients feel calm and relaxed but remain responsive and breathing independently. Treatment is completed comfortably, followed by a brief monitored recovery period before going home with a companion.
Moderate sedation generally lasts for the duration of the dental treatment, often one to two hours. Patients are monitored afterward and usually recover more quickly than with deeper levels of anesthesia.
Patients should follow fasting and medication instructions and arrange transportation home. While recovery is typically quicker, mild drowsiness or reduced alertness may persist for several hours.
Recovery is usually quicker than deeper sedation, though mild drowsiness may persist. Rest and limited activity are recommended for the remainder of the day.
