How Sedation Dentistry Works

Here at La Costa Dental Excellence, we offer oral sedation for true sleep dentistry. With our trusted and safe sedation process, you will awake with little or no memory of your dental experience — yet obtain the benefits of a beautiful smile!

Prior to your appointment, you will swallow a small pill provided by our dentists. A friend or family member will drive you to our Carlsbad office as the oral sedation sets in. By the time you arrive, you will be drowsy and comfortable. You will continue to relax in your treatment room with a warm blanket. Your vital signs will be monitored as our highly trained and experienced clinical team will fulfill your dental needs.
