Sedation Dentistry

Once you've experienced sedation dentistry with Dr Agapis, you'll never be afraid to go to the dentist again.

You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware  of the treatment, as if you were relaxing.  You'll wake up refreshed, with little or no memory of what was accomplished.

Because you are completely comfortable, we can do years of dental treatment in one or two visits.  We can replace crowns or dentures, restore sore gums to good health, whiten yellow or stained teeth, fix a chipped tooth, and more.  People with very busy schedules can  get the dental care they need, easily and quickly.

Imagine being able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. No wonder so many patients say:   "Sedation dentistry changed my life."

How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?

You are given a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment.  Your companion will accompany you to the office.  By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy.

When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted into the comfort room, covered with a thick, warm blanket and placed on a monitor to watch your vital signs.  After you are comfortable, Dr. Agapis and the experienced clinical team at his office will take care of your dental needs.

When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home to finish your comfortable, relaxing day.


Facts About Sedation Dentistry....

It Really Works!  You really can relax through your dental appointment.

It Is Safe!  You take a small pill prior to treatment, no intravenous tubes or needles.

You will have little or no memory of the experience.  You won't remember any sounds or smells.

You will relax for up to five to six hours after taking the pill.  The time you are relaxing will vary depending on your needed treatment.

Complex dental treatments that often require six to eight appointments, can be done in as little as one!  All while you relax.

People who have difficulty getting numb will find that sedation dentistry eliminates this problem.

Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.
