HOW DOES THE SEDATION PROCESS WORK?
Consultation and review
Treatment begins with a complete review of the your medical history, and a meeting with your doctors to discuss your treatment and concerns. Consultations with your physician(s) regarding all medical conditions and medications are completed when necessary.
Your questions are answered
You will meet with Dr. Shama or Dr. Gendler and our professional staff to answer your questions. You will be given all the information you will need to properly prepare for your sedation appointment. At Twin Cities Sedation Dentistry, we want you to have all of your questions and concerns addressed completely.
Your appointment
Before any dental procedures are begun, an IV will be started for you to quickly put you into a deeply relaxed state. You are monitored by Dr. Shama and staff with the help of hospital grade monitoring equipment to ensure that your level of sedation is kept safe and constant throughout your appointment. Once your dental care is completed you will recover quickly from the sedation. You will be pleasantly surprised and very happy to find that your appointment is over and your treatment has been successfully completed.
After your appointment
At the conclusion of your dental treatment we will continue to monitor and observe you, to determine when you may be safely released to the person responsible for your ride home. You may feel capable of driving yourself, but your safety is our most important concern. For your sedation appointment, you will need to arrange to have a family member or other responsible adult drive you home from your appointment.
