Oral
Sedation
 How
does it work?
You are given a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental
appointment. Your companion will accompany you to the office. By
the time you arrive you will be very drowsy.
When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted into a comfortable
room, covered with a blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your
vital signs. After you are comfortable Dr. Hoar and the experienced
clinical team at The Center for Implant Dentistry will take care
of your dental needs.
When
your treatment is completed your companion will return you home
to finish your comfortable, relaxing day.
