Discover Anxiety-Free Dental Care With Oral Conscious Sedation in Reston

Many people experience anxiety and stress about visiting the dentist, and some even skip necessary care to avoid it. If you feel nervous about dental work, there's good news: Sedation dentistry is a safe and comfortable solution. At our Reston dental office, we offer sedation to help you relax so you can feel confident and calm during your appointments.

Oral conscious sedation requires a patient to take a prescription medication the night before their dental treatment and another medication about an hour before their appointment to help them feel calm. Depending on the dose, sedation can be mild or moderate. With mild sedation, the patient stays awake but feels relaxed and drowsy. A higher dose may make you doze off in the dental chair. The effects last for a few hours, so you'll need a responsible adult to take you to and from your appointment.

Dr. Myles Discusses Sedation Dentistry

 
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help ease the anxiety and stress a patient may feel during dental appointments. Your dosage can provide a mild calm to a deeper relaxation, depending on your needs, treatment plan, and comfort level.

Your anxiety level will help Dr. Myles decide the right sedation dosage for your appointment, which affects how relaxed or drowsy you feel. Some patients even fall asleep during their procedure. We’ll monitor your vital signs throughout to ensure your safety. After your appointment, you’ll need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you until the sedative wears off.

Sedation Dentistry You Can Trust We Provide Safe and Effective Care

Instead of nitrous oxide or general anesthesia, Dr. Myles offers oral sedation, an option that falls between these two options. Oral conscious sedation is a safe and effective way to help anxious patients feel relaxed during dental procedures. Dr. Wayne Myles is certified in sedation dentistry, meaning he has the training necessary to administer sedation safely and effectively.

Common side effects of oral conscious sedation include drowsiness or grogginess, dry mouth, mild nausea, dizziness, and lightheadedness. Some patients may also experience a mild headache, memory lapses, or temporary muscle weakness. These side effects are typically short-lived and should resolve as the sedation wears off. You must have a responsible adult drive you to and from your appointment as you will not be able to drive.
