Sedation dentistry gives patients the confidence and peace-of-mind to experience root canal treatment in a whole new way. Oral conscious sedation is an extremely safe way to provide a light but highly effective level of sedation: Hours pass like minutes and more dentistry can be performed because Dr. Park is able to work more efficiently.

The process for patients is simple:

1. Initial consultation:

After a full evaluation and review of the patient’s medical history, Dr. Park will choose the appropriate medication(s) and level of sedation to best meet the patient’s needs. All the information and instructions will be given during this consultation. Medication for the night before and the morning of will be dispensed one week prior to the procedure. 

2. The day of the procedure:

Driven to the appointment by a companion, an additional dose will be given to you in office upon arrival.  In order to achieve the level of sedation that is optimal for each individual patient, incremental dosing may be further provided as the treatment progresses. Patients’ vital signs will be monitored throughout the procedure.   

3. After the treatment:

Go home (driven by your companion) and relax. The dental appointment is complete and you had the most restful time through it.

If you would like to be sedated for your treatment, please ask for a sedation consultation appointment when you call our office.
