Oral Sedation
Renew Dental Studio offers oral sedation for patients with dental anxiety or specific needs, involving pre-procedure sedative medication for a relaxed state during treatment, with careful patient screening and monitoring, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and stress-free dental experience.
Our Process
Consultation: The process begins with a consultation, either in person or over the phone, to assess your medical history, current medications, and to discuss your anxiety levels and concerns about dental procedures.
Prescription: Based on the assessment, the dentist prescribes an oral sedative medication. This prescription can often be provided over the phone for existing patients.
Instructions Before the Appointment: You will receive specific instructions on how to take the sedative, such as taking it the night before or an hour before the procedure, and guidelines regarding fasting and transportation arrangements.
Administration of Sedative: You will take the oral sedative as instructed before your dental appointment. It's essential to have someone accompany you to the office, as you should not drive under the influence of the sedative.
Continuous Monitoring: Throughout the dental procedure, your vital signs and comfort level are continuously monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness of the sedation.
Recovery: After the procedure, you will be monitored until the effects of the sedative diminish. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for a few hours after the procedure.
Follow-Up Call or Visit: The dentist may schedule a follow-up call or visit to check on your recovery and to discuss any further care or treatments needed.
