Sedation for Longer Procedures

What it is: Sedation may help selected adults tolerate longer restorative, implant or surgical appointments more comfortably.

When considered: It is not selected simply because a procedure is long; candidacy and safety come first.

What to expect: We begin with an examination and appropriate records, explain the findings, and tailor the sequence to the tooth, tissues, bite, health and goals.

Limits and next step: Suitability, timing and outcome depend on the clinical findings. Alternatives, maintenance and referral needs are reviewed before treatment.
