Sedation dentistry and Sleep dentistry are one and the same.
Sedation dentistry allows you to experience a virtually pain free dental
visit! What’s even better is the fact that you won’t remember any
of the details of the appointment.
It
is now possible to doze off and have your dental treatment done.
You still have control of your own breathing and can respond to simple
verbal requests. Yet you don't feel or remember the details that
make a dental visit uncomfortable for some people.
Many people are quite anxious when it comes to receiving necessary and comprehensive dental care. They will avoid going to see their dentist just because they cannot stand the "feeling of a dental office." This creates more dental problems on top of the existing dental problems. All of this can be avoided with the use of sedation dentistry.
Another less commonly known benefit of sedation dentistry is to tolerate longer dental appointments with little memory of it. Some people aren’t so much afraid of the dentist. They just cannot see themselves sitting there during their treatment. When sedated properly, multiple dental procedures can be combined into one dental visit. More can get done in less time and there is less need for multiple dentist appointments.
Sedation dentistry is also very useful for those with a “gag” reflex. Same is true for those who have difficulty getting numb. Sedation dentistry can be performed comfortably and successfully for almost everyone.

For the younger or the older individuals who need extensive dental treatment, but cannot tolerate multiple long dental visits, general anesthesia is suggested. A qualified, licensed anesthesiologist is present throughout the dental treatment, safely maintaining the patient in a state of general anesthesia, while the dental team completes the necessary treatment expediently.
