Find the Sedation Option That's Right for You
Complex procedures like dental implants become much easier with our gentle sedation options. You can complete multiple treatments in a single visit while feeling completely relaxed. Sedation also allows Dr. Kaeley to work more efficiently, which means less time in the dental chair for you.
Your sedation options include:
- Oral Sedation - This safe, effective medication reduces anxiety while you remain conscious and responsive to Dr. Kaeley. You take a prescribed pill before your appointment and arrive at our office deeply relaxed. You may drift in and out of sleep during your procedure.
- IV Sedation - IV sedation offers our deepest level of relaxation. It's delivered into your bloodstream through a small IV. You'll quickly drift into a peaceful sleep-like state yet remain conscious throughout your procedure. Dr. Kaeley can adjust your sedation level at any time, ensuring your complete comfort.
With sedation, you can comfortably receive the care you need. You'll feel far more confident pursuing treatments for better oral health and function. For both sedation options, you will need to arrange for a ride home. Both have lingering effects that can last for several hours.

Common Questions About Sedation Options
What types of sedation options are available?
Dr. Kaeley offers two primary sedation options: oral sedation and IV sedation. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, which helps you feel relaxed while remaining conscious. IV sedation delivers medication directly into your bloodstream, allowing for a deeper state of relaxation. Both options are designed to ensure your comfort during procedures and can be tailored to your needs.
How do I know which sedation option is right for me?
Choosing the right sedation option depends on your individual anxiety levels and the complexity of the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Kaeley will discuss your concerns and preferences to help determine the best choice for you. She will consider factors such as your medical history and the type of treatment you require. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure you feel safe and comfortable throughout your experience.
Will I be awake during the procedure with sedation?
With oral sedation, you will remain conscious and able to respond to Dr. Kaeley, although you may feel drowsy or drift in and out of sleep. IV sedation allows for a deeper level of relaxation, where you may feel like you're in a sleep-like state but can still respond if necessary. Dr. Kaeley will monitor your sedation levels closely and can adjust them as needed to ensure your comfort. Rest assured, you will not feel pain during the procedure.
