About Sedation
About one-half of all Americans dread going to the dentist. Dr. Keyser understands, and will alleviate your fears. Our expertise in sedation dentistry can give you the dream smile you deserve in only one or two anxiety-free appointments. Don't be discouraged by dental fears; our excellent staff will work with you to create a smile you'll never want to hide again!
HOW IT WORKS
Oral Sedation Dentistry protocols have been used safely for over 30 years with millions of procedures. Before starting any treatments, we will review your medical history and explain how Sedation Dentistry can work for you. We want you to feel good about going forward towards a healthy, new smile.
On the day of your appointment, you'll simply take a small pill. Our experienced clinical team members will make certain that you're relaxed and completely comfortable and they monitor you very closely while you're sedated. Many patients feel NO DISCOMFORT whatsoever during and after treatment, and have little or no memory of the visit.
