Oral Sedation

In the heart of First Hill, Seattle, Seattle Smiles Company offers a revolutionary way to experience dental care. Gone are the days of anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures. With oral sedation, Dr. Ajay Kashi and his team ensure that every visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Oral sedation has revolutionized the way we think about dental visits. It's a simple, yet profoundly effective method to alleviate dental anxiety, making it ideal for everything from routine cleanings to more complex procedures. Here’s a detailed look at what makes oral sedation the choice for a stress-free dental experience:

Understanding Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your dental appointment. This medication, tailored to your specific health profile and anxiety level, ensures you remain calm and comfortable throughout your visit. Unlike IV sedation, oral sedation doesn't require needles, making it an excellent option for patients who prefer a non-invasive approach.

The Benefits of Choosing Oral Sedation

• Ease of Use: Simply take a pill before your appointment, and let the medication do the rest.
• Amnesia Effect: Many patients remember little to nothing of their dental procedure, making for a more pleasant experience.
• Safety: Oral sedation is widely regarded as safe and is closely monitored by dental professionals.
• Accessibility: Ideal for almost any dental procedure, enhancing patient comfort without the need for complex preparations.

The Oral Sedation Process Detailed

• Pre-Appointment: You'll receive instructions to take the sedative medication at a specified time before your visit.
• Arrival and Assessment: Upon arrival, our team assesses your comfort and anxiety levels, making adjustments as needed.
• During Your Procedure: You're awake but in a state of deep relaxation. Your safety and comfort are continuously monitored.

Post-Procedure Care: Recovery from oral sedation is swift, with many patients able to resume normal activities by the next day. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available for follow-up questions.

Is oral sedation right for me?

Oral sedation is suitable for most patients, especially those with dental anxiety or undergoing lengthy procedures. Dr. Kashi will review your medical history to ensure it's the best option for you.

What should I expect after taking oral sedation?

Most patients report feeling drowsy but comfortable. It's important to arrange transportation home, as the effects of the sedative will impair your ability to drive.

Nestled just moments away from landmarks like Seattle University and the Frye Art Museum, Seattle Smiles Company isn't just part of First Hill—it's part of the community. Our commitment extends beyond our doors, reaching out to nearby neighborhoods like the Central District and Pike/Pine, ensuring everyone has access to stress-free dental care.
