Frequently Asked Questions
Sedation Dentistry FAQ for Leesburg Patients
What types of sedation are available for periodontal procedures?
We offer several sedation levels: local anesthesia (numbing), nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety, oral conscious sedation (prescription medication taken before your appointment), and IV sedation administered by a trained provider for deeper relaxation. The appropriate level depends on the procedure and your anxiety level.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, when administered by trained professionals with proper monitoring. During IV sedation, your vital signs — heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and breathing — are continuously monitored. Our team is trained in advanced cardiac life support. We review your complete medical history and current medications to ensure sedation is safe for you.
Can I drive home after sedation?
After oral conscious sedation or IV sedation, you must have a responsible adult drive you home and stay with you for several hours. You should not drive, operate machinery, or make important decisions for 24 hours. Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes, so you can typically drive after nitrous-only sedation.
Will I be asleep during the procedure with sedation?
With oral conscious sedation and IV sedation, you remain conscious but deeply relaxed — most patients report feeling drowsy and having little or no memory of the procedure afterward. This is different from general anesthesia, where you are completely unconscious. You can respond to verbal cues throughout the procedure.
