Will my visit really be painless?
Yes, it will be totally pain free! No dental treatment actually starts until you are completely relaxed in a state of consious sedation.

How many visits will I need?
Because you are so relaxed and usually sleeping we can often make up for years of missed treatment in one visit!

Is it safe?
It is completely safe. On your first visit Xrays and a non invasive exam will be done. Also a complete medical history will be taken to ensure that you are ready for treatment. During your sedation visit your vital signs are constantly being monitered by a dental team member, and although you will be in a dreamy state, you will never be unconsious.

Can I drive afterward?
No, you will need to have a companion drive you to and from your sedation appointment. You can come by yourself for your initial consultation appointment, or you can bring a spouse or friend to that first appointment as well.

Do I need to rest when I get home?
Yes, you will probably sleep for 3-6 hours when you get home and when you wake up, you will have no memory of your appointment.

What if I am not really fearful? Can it still be used for me?
Dream Dentistry can be used for any patient who desires to be totally anxiety free during denal treatment. We also use it for a patient who has a long visit scheduled and would rather dream through it than just be numb.
