Feel calm, comfortable, and in control. Sedation dentistry at Vigee Dental helps ease anxiety, control a strong gag reflex, and make long or complex treatments feel manageable. From gentle oral sedation to deeper relaxation options, we tailor sedation to your needs and medical history so you can get the care you want without stress.
Why Consider Sedation?
Dental anxiety or past negative experiences
Sensitive teeth or strong gag reflex
Difficulty getting numb
Complex, lengthy, or multiple procedures in one visit
Mobility or medical conditions that make sitting still difficult
Oral Conscious Sedation (Pill):
A prescribed medication taken before your appointment helps you feel deeply relaxed and drowsy while remaining responsive. You will need a responsible adult to drive you to and from the visit, and you should plan quiet time afterward.
IV Sedation:
IV sedation offers deeper relaxation for anxious patients or longer procedures. Medication through a small IV helps you feel calm and drowsy while we continuously monitor your safety. Most patients remember little of the visit. A responsible adult must drive you home and stay with you afterward.
Safety First
Your safety is our priority. We review your medical history, medications, and allergies; measure vital signs; and monitor you throughout your visit. Our team follows established protocols, emergency preparedness standards, and uses calibrated equipment for dosing and monitoring.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Healthy adults with mild to moderate anxiety may do well with oral sedation.
Certain medical conditions, pregnancy, or drug interactions may limit options. We will advise on the safest plan or coordinate with your physician if needed.

Yes, when administered by trained professionals with proper monitoring and protocols. Your medical history helps us select the safest option.
A driver is required for oral and IV sedation.
Yes. Sedation helps you relax, while local anesthetic controls pain at the treatment area.
Oral sedation effects may last several hours. IV sedation recovery varies by dose and individual response.
Coverage depends on your benefits plan and the type of sedation used. We provide estimates in advance and issue itemized receipts for insurance submission. If pre-authorization is helpful, we can assist.
