Raleigh, Durham & Chapel Hill Oral Sedation Dentistry

For many patients, going to the dentist is synonymous with fear and anxiety. Dental phobia and anxiety have prevented many people from seeking out and going through with any treatment that can aid in repairing, creating or maintaining great smiles. Sedation dentistry, however, is a revolutionary way of minimizing the anxiety and fear many people experience during a dental visit.

Painless dentistry

At Sunrise Dental, Dinah Vice, DDS & Associates, rather than using IV sedation, our preferred method of sedation is by way of a small pill. After consulting with one of our Raleigh, Durham or Chapel Hill dentists to ensure that it is safe for you to undergo dental sedation, we will ask you to swallow a small sedative pill on the day of your dental visit. Because you will be experiencing the effects of a sedative, we will require you to be driven to and from our office by someone else.

Though you will remain conscious during the dental procedure, you will experience a deep sense of relaxation that allows you to speak and respond when needed. Most patients feel no discomfort during treatment and remain largely unaware of what is happening. In most cases, patients retain little or no memory of the visit to the dentist after the sedative wears off.
