Sedation Dentistry at In Motion Dentists

At In Motion Dentists, we understand that many patients experience anxiety, fear, or embarrassment when visiting the dentist. Sedation dentistry uses commonly prescribed anti-anxiety medication or IV sedation to help you feel calm and comfortable during treatment. Our goal is to make every dental visit a positive experience.

Our Sedation Options

Before recommending sedation, we review your medical history, dental history, and prescriptions, and we listen to your concerns and anxiety triggers. Based on this information, we offer:

• Oral Sedation: A pill taken before your appointment to help you relax.
• IV Sedation: Administered intravenously, creating a “twilight state” where you remain responsive but relaxed. Many patients do not remember the procedure afterward.
• General Anesthesia (GA): Provided by our Dental Anesthesiologist, allowing you to be fully asleep during treatment. GA is ideal for patients with extreme anxiety, intellectual disabilities, or those undergoing complex procedures.

Whether you visit our office or receive care through our mobile dentistry team, we ensure high-quality, safe, and comfortable treatment.

Sedation for Children

We also provide safe GA sedation for children when necessary. Our team focuses on creating fun, low-stress experiences for kids, aiming to minimize anxiety and reduce the need for sedation whenever possible.

Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry helps patients experience dental care without fear, making treatment more comfortable and less stressful. Some of the key benefits include:

• Reduced anxiety and fear during appointments
• Lowered sensitivity to pain
• Easier management of longer or more complex procedures
• Increased cooperation for patients with special needs
