Sedation Dentistry McLean, VA

Sedation dentistry is commonly used in procedures that require an extensive amount of work and is helpful for patients who have dental anxiety and fear of visiting the dentist. There are different forms of sedation available.  Your dentist will choose the most suited method for you, taking into consideration the type of procedure performed and your level of anxiety.  Conscious sedation is the most common type of sedation used and it puts patients in a relaxing, calming state throughout the entire procedure.  Many patients feel so comfortable in fact, that they fall asleep during the procedure.
