Are you extremely afraid of the dentist? Well, you don’t have to anymore thanks to safe, effective sedation dentistry from Pleasant Valley Smile Studio.

Sedation dentistry offers a way for patients to relax and feel comfortable during dental appointments. There are options. Talk to us.

By opting for sedation dentistry in a pill format, you can now have your dental care accomplished while you are totally relaxed and comfortable. Oral sedation allows our dentists to alleviate the patient’s dental anxiety. As a patient you will feel deeply relaxed and chill, but are still awake during the procedure. Many patients say they remember very little of their appointment. This type of sedation can be taken in the hours prior to the appointment so they can relax without letting feelings of panic or anxiety set in.

For greater levels of sedation, we work closely with board certified anesthesiologists of the Horizon Anesthesia Group (part of the Reston Hospital Anesthesia Group) so we can offer full sedation (general anesthesia) for patients who wish to be completely asleep during their dental treatment. If general anesthesia is used in your appointment, rest assured you will be in excellent hands since we monitor all of your vital signs (heart function, respiration, consciousness, pulse, blood pressure, temperature) to ensure your comfort and safety.

Sedation and anesthesia gives patients the option to be completely comfortable without experiencing high anxiety or a fear of the dentist.
