Individualized Sedation Solutions for Maximum Comfort
Every patient responds differently to dental procedures. At our Charleston and St. George locations, we evaluate your medical history, procedure type, and anxiety level to determine the most appropriate level of sedation. From deep sedation to general anesthesia, your comfort and safety are our top priorities.

I.V. Sedation
Intravenous sedation offers a deeper, more controlled level of relaxation during procedures. The sedative is delivered directly into the bloodstream, allowing you to remain conscious but deeply relaxed.
General Anesthesia
For certain surgical procedures or patients with specific medical needs, general anesthesia may be the best choice. This option allows for complete unconsciousness throughout the treatment and is administered by our trained team in a fully equipped surgical setting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Dentistry
Who is a good candidate for sedation during oral surgery?
Sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures. During your consultation, we’ll help determine if it’s the right fit for you.
What types of sedation do you offer?
We provide multiple levels of sedation, including intravenous (I.V.) sedation and general anesthesia. Each option is selected based on the procedure and your comfort needs.
Do I need someone to stay with me after sedation?
Yes, you’ll need a trusted adult to accompany you home and remain with you for a period of time after your appointment, as the effects can linger even after leaving our office.
How do I prepare for my sedation appointment?
Preparation may include fasting, adjusting medications, and following pre-operative instructions provided by our team. You’ll receive a personalized guide tailored to your treatment.
What should I expect during recovery?
Most patients feel groggy or tired for several hours. Full recovery times vary, but rest and hydration are encouraged. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery process.
