atients who have opted to combine One-Pill Sedation with treatment have been tremendously pleased with the results. In their own words...

“I was surprised a pill could make this procedure so pleasant. I don’t even remember sitting down in the chair! I don’t see any reason to go through a procedure without it.”

“This was truly amazing. It took all the edge off. I had no discomfort and no recollection of the procedure. Any anxious feelings I had vanished.”

Dr. Singer is a member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, or DOCS. DOCS provides education to dentists who care for the large population of people who avoid dental care.
     Now, using a small pill, dental care can be completed while patients are totally relaxed and comfortable. Oral sedation has been highly praised for its excellent safety record, quick onset and recovery. While patients are sedated, all the care they need is often concluded in one or two visits. Unlike IV sedation, there are no needles to dread or long recovery.
Dr. Singer states, “I have always been sensitive to our patients with high fear and apprehension. I can now offer all patients an even more comfortable experience. For lengthy procedures, One-Pill Sedation adds to one’s comfort and leaves them feeling refreshed afterwards.”

Oral Sedation is ideal for adults with:

  • Lengthy procedures who desire a relaxed state
  • Fear or very sensitive teeth
  • Past traumatic dentalexperiences
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • A bad gag reflex
  • Limited time to completedental care
  • Complex dental problems
  • A dread of needles and shots
  • Discomfort associated withnoises, smells and tastes

How does it work?
You are given a pill an hour prior to your appointment. Your companion will accompany you to the office. When you arrive, you will be very drowsy.
     You will relax in a comfortable chair and covered with a warm blanket. Your vital signs will be monitored while we care for your dental needs.When your treatment is complete, your companion will drive you home.

Will I feel any pain?
No, you will feel nothing and haveno memory of the procedure.

Will I be unconscious?
You will be responsive to voices, yet very relaxed.

Will I be monitored?
Your treatment will include sophisticated vital sign monitoring equipment and one of our team members throughout the visit.

How long will I be sedated?
Depending on your needs, your medication will be prescribed to last from 2 to 6 hours.

Will someone need to accompany me?
Yes, someone will need to accompany and drive you to and from the office due to the effects of the medication.

If you would like to combine Oral Sedation with your next visit, ask Dr. Singer or call (201) 592-6222 to discuss how this option can provide a more tranquil experience!
