At Innovative Dental Solutions of Seminole, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent patients from receiving necessary care. Our oral sedation services provide a safe, comfortable solution that helps anxious patients relax during dental procedures. This proven sedation method allows you to receive comprehensive dental treatment while feeling calm and at ease throughout your visit.

Transform Your Dental Experience with Oral Sedation

Oral sedation offers numerous benefits for patients who experience dental anxiety or require extensive procedures. This safe and effective method helps reduce fear and discomfort, allowing Dr. Martino to perform complex treatments while you remain relaxed. Unlike other sedation methods, this service is convenient and non-invasive, requiring only a prescribed medication taken before your appointment. Patients often report having little memory of the procedure and feeling completely comfortable throughout their treatment. This approach enables our team to complete multiple procedures in a single visit, saving you time and reducing the need for multiple appointments. The medication helps control anxiety while maintaining your ability to respond to verbal instructions.

What to Expect During Your Oral Sedation Appointment

The oral sedation process begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Martino reviews your medical history and discusses your specific needs. You’ll receive detailed pre-appointment instructions, including dietary restrictions and transportation arrangements, as you cannot drive after sedation. On the day of your procedure, you’ll take the prescribed medication approximately one hour before your appointment. Our experienced team monitors your vital signs throughout the treatment to ensure your safety and comfort. The sedation creates a deeply relaxed state while allowing you to breathe normally and respond to our team’s guidance. Most patients feel drowsy for several hours after the procedure, which is why arranging transportation is essential for your safety.
