About Sleep Dentistry in Cochrane
Sleep dentistry allows patients to remain in a very relaxed, drowsy state during treatment. While you are not fully unconscious, many patients remember little to none of their appointments afterward.
This approach is different from standard dental care and is tailored for those who need extra support to feel comfortable in the dental chair.
Sleep dentistry is often provided through oral sedation, planned and monitored by our team.
Oral Sedation in Cochrane, AB
Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication before your appointment to help reduce anxiety and promote deep relaxation. It allows dental treatment to be completed while you remain responsive.
Oral sedation may be a good option if you:
- Experience intense dental anxiety
- Have difficulty sitting through longer appointments
- Feel panic or stress at the thought of dental treatment
- Have had negative past dental experiences
What to Expect Before and After Your Visit
Before treatment, we’ll review your medical history, explain how oral sedation works, and help determine whether it’s a suitable option for you. You’ll receive clear instructions so you know what to expect.
After your appointment:
- You’ll need a trusted adult to accompany you home
- You may feel drowsy for a short time
- Most patients resume normal activities the next day
