Sedation Dentistry: A Safe, Effective Way to Calm Your Fears

It may sound too good to be true, but at Santiam Smile Design, sedation dentistry with Dr. David Thompson really does help you relax — or even sleep! — through your entire visit. There are no needles involved; you simply take a small pill prior to your visit.

The great news is that whatever makes you uncomfortable about the dentist’s office — sights, sounds, or smells — you won’t notice them during your visit or be affected by them after you’re finished. And there’s no need to worry that the pill will wear off before Dr. Thompson is done; it provides up to six hours of complete comfort.

Even if you’ve been putting off dental visits for years, Dr. Thompson and the professional team at Santiam Smile Design can restore your mouth to good oral health in as little as one visit. Because you’re relaxed and at ease, it’s also easier for the numbing medication to take effect if a procedure is required.
