Many people have little to no anxiety when it comes to dental care. Some people can manage dental treatment with little more than some slight anxiety. For still others however, going to the dentist is a lot more difficult. If you or someone you love have ever avoided getting dental care out of anxiety, or if the thought of going to the dentist makes you nervous, then sedation dentistry could be for you.

Sedation Dentistry offers pain-free and anxiety-free dental procedures as the patient is in a deeply relaxed state, though fully responsive. It means something even more important: a comfortable experience - often with no recollection of the time passed. We often hear from patients who express their gratitude and delight in their first ever visit to the dentist without fear.


All of the amazing advances in dentistry can’t do a thing for you if you don’t go to the dentist.   Dr. Cieplak realizes that there are a lot of legitimate reasons why many people stay away from the dentist. It’s been estimated that almost half of the population has some kind of dental fear, from people who feel a little uncomfortable, to those who are so terrified they can’t set foot in a dental office. Whether it’s fear or something else that’s keeping you away, today’s dentistry gives us many options for making you comfortable throughout your appointment. Sedation dentistry uses medications to relax patients, which makes for a totally comfortable dental experience.

Many of our patients have found their experience with sedation dentistry to be positively life changing and incredibly effective.  Sedation dentistry allows a patient to be calm and drowsy while still remaining in control. Often our patients equate sedation dentistry to relaxing on a beach. For many, this is the answer thay have been looking for all their life.

How does Sedation Dentistry Work?

You will be given a sedative tranquilizer to take one hour prior to your dental appointment. Your companion will accompany you to the office. When you arrive in our office, you will be drowsy and you will be escorted to a warm comfortable chair. Your level of comfort, sedation, and vitals will be continually monitored with state of the art medical equipment so that your visit is completely safe.

After you are comfortable our dental team will take care of your sedation and dental needs. You will remain in control but will be unaware of the treatment as if you were snoozing. Afterwards you will have little to no memory of your appointment.

When your treatment is completed, your companion will take you home. If needed, a car service can be arranged to get you home quickly and safely. Want to know more about Oral Sedation click here.
