What Is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is not just about comfort — it’s about making dental care possible for patients who may otherwise avoid it. We offer multiple levels of sedation to meet your needs:

  • Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) – A mild inhaled sedative that helps you feel calm while remaining fully awake.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation – A safe oral medication taken before your appointment that allows you to feel at ease and drowsy, but still responsive.
  • Sedation for Complex Procedures – Stronger options available when multiple treatments or surgical care are needed in a single visit.

With both lighter and deeper sedation available, Dr. Morton will recommend the safest, most effective option for your individual needs.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs

Is sedation dentistry safe?

Yes, sedation is very safe when administered by a trained professional. At Marble Hill Dentistry, Dr. Morton follows strict safety protocols to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout the procedure.

Will I be completely asleep during sedation?

Not with the methods we use. Both nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation allow you to remain awake and responsive while feeling calm and relaxed.

Can I drive myself home after sedation?

You can dive after nitrous oxide, as it was off quickly. However, if you receive oral or IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home.

Can children receive dental sedation?

While our practice focuses on adult care, sedation can be safely used in pediatric dentistry settings. We recommend consulting with a pediatric dentist for young children.

How long does it take for sedation to wear off?

Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes after the mask is removed. Oral or IV sedation can take a few hours to wear off, so a driver is required after treatment.

Will I remember anything after being sedated?

Many patients remember little to nothing about their procedure after sedation, especially with oral conscious sedation. This helps ease anxiety and promote a positive experience.
