What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled medications to help you feel relaxed and calm during dental procedures. It’s ideal for patients who experience anxiety, have a sensitive gag reflex, need extensive treatment, or have difficulty sitting through longer appointments. At Bedford Dental Group, we offer a range of sedation options, from oral conscious sedation to IV sedation, tailored to your comfort level and individual treatment needs.

You’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed, with little to no memory of the procedure afterward. If fear of the dentist has kept you from getting the care you need, sedation dentistry in Beverly Hills can help you feel at ease and in control. Book with Bedford Dental Group today!

SEDATION DENTISTRY

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, no. Sedation dentistry typically keeps you awake but deeply relaxed throughout the procedure. Options such as oral sedation or IV sedation create a calm, comfortable state where you remain responsive but feel little anxiety. Many patients feel so relaxed that the appointment seems to pass quickly, with minimal awareness of the treatment.

Yes, sedation dentistry can be safe for many patients, including seniors or those with certain medical conditions, when properly planned. Before treatment, we carefully review your health history, medications, and any existing conditions. This allows us to select the safest sedation option and monitor you closely throughout your appointment for optimal safety.

If you receive oral sedation or IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home after your appointment because these medications can cause lingering drowsiness. However, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) typically wears off quickly once the mask is removed, and many patients can safely drive themselves home following this lighter form of sedation.

Many patients remember very little about their dental visit when sedation is used, especially with oral or IV sedation. These medications help create a deeply relaxed state that reduces anxiety and may limit memory of the procedure. While you remain conscious during treatment, the experience often feels much shorter and more comfortable than expected.

Recovery time depends on the type of sedation used. Patients who receive nitrous oxide often return to normal activities almost immediately after their appointment. For oral or IV sedation, mild drowsiness may last several hours, and it’s usually recommended to rest for the remainder of the day before resuming regular activities.

Yes. When administered by trained dental professionals, sedation dentistry is considered very safe and effective. At Bedford Dental Group, your comfort and safety are carefully monitored throughout the procedure. Vital signs such as heart rate and oxygen levels are continuously observed, ensuring that sedation remains controlled and appropriate during your treatment.
