Sedation dentistry helps patients feel calm and relaxed during dental care. It can be helpful if you feel anxious in the dental chair, have a strong gag reflex or need a longer visit. Our dentists and team focus on creating a peaceful experience so you can receive the care you need without overwhelming stress. Dr. Justin Palmer and associates listen carefully, explain each step and adjust your plan to match your comfort level. Learn more about our providers on the Meet our doctors page.
If you tend to avoid dental care because of fear or past experiences, we encourage you to reach out. Talking with our dentists about sedation dentistry can be the first step toward more comfortable, consistent care.
Personalized Sedation Dentistry Planning
Every patient is different, so sedation dentistry planning begins with a detailed consultation. Our dentists will review your medical history, current medications and previous dental experiences. Together, you will discuss your goals, treatment needs and comfort level. This conversation helps us recommend an approach that feels safe and manageable for you.
You will receive instructions about eating, transportation and follow-up visits when needed. Our goal is to keep the process simple, organized and supportive from start to finish.
What to Expect with Sedation Dentistry
On the day of your visit, our team will review your plan and answer last-minute questions. Your dentists and clinical team monitor you closely throughout treatment to help ensure your safety and comfort. Many patients notice that time seems to pass more easily and that sounds, sights and sensations feel less intense.
