Why Sedation for Prosthodontics?
Many patients seeking advanced treatments like dental implants, full-arch restorations, or surgical extractions are concerned about:
- Lengthy appointments
- Discomfort during procedures
- Anxiety about tools, sounds, or past experiences
Because prosthodontic procedures often require extended chair time, sedation allows patients to:
- Remain calm and relaxed throughout treatment
- Lose track of time during longer procedures
- Minimize discomfort and muscle fatigue
- Wake up with their treatment complete and little memory of the process
Our sedation dentistry options are tailored to your medical history, anxiety level, and treatment plan. Whether you need mild relaxation or deeper sedation, Dr. Connolly will walk you through the safest and most effective choice.
