Dentistry Without the Fear

Dental Care Without the Fear or Discomfort

Sedation dentistry uses prescription medication to keep you relaxed and comfortable during treatment. You stay conscious but at ease, and most patients remember very little when it’s over. It’s a practical option for anyone managing dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, low pain tolerance, or a history of difficult dental experiences.

Our approach at The Smile Company covers two options: oral sedation taken before your appointment and IV sedation administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Whatever your level of anxiety, sedation dentistry in Greenville, SC gives you a way to sit through treatment comfortably and leave with the care you came in for.

How Sedation Works

What to Expect With Sedation Dentistry

Medical Review and Sedation Selection

Before your appointment, we review your full medical history, current medications, and health background to determine which sedation option is right for you. We offer both IV sedation and oral sedation, and we choose together based on your needs, anxiety level, and the nature of your treatment.

Sedation and Treatment Day

On the day of your appointment, your sedation is administered with precision and care. IV sedation is delivered by a board-certified anesthesiologist right here in our Greenville office, while oral sedation is taken before you arrive. Your vital signs are monitored throughout, and Dr. Jacob completes your treatment while you rest comfortably.

Recovery and Getting Home

When your appointment is complete, you rest briefly in our office until you feel ready. Because sedation affects your alertness and coordination, you will need a trusted adult to drive you home. Most patients feel back to normal within a few hours and report little to no memory of the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sedation Dentistry FAQs

What is sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you relax during dental procedures. Depending on the type and level used, you may feel drowsy and calm, or drift off entirely while we complete your treatment comfortably and safely.

Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?

Sedation is a great option for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, low pain tolerance, or those undergoing lengthy procedures. If fear has kept you from getting the care you need, sedation may be exactly what makes treatment possible for you.

What types of sedation do you offer?

We offer two forms of sedation: oral sedation and IV sedation. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. IV sedation delivers medication directly into the bloodstream for deeper, more adjustable effects throughout the procedure.

Is dental sedation safe?

Yes, when administered by trained professionals. Our IV sedation is provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist, and we monitor your vital signs throughout the entire procedure. Before sedation, we review your medical history and current medications to determine the right approach for you.

Will I be fully unconscious during IV sedation?

IV sedation produces a deep state of relaxation, and many patients have little to no memory of their procedure. However, it is not the same as general anesthesia. You can still be gently prompted if needed, and your safety is monitored from start to finish.

Do I need someone to drive me home after a sedated appointment?

Yes. Both oral and IV sedation affect your coordination and alertness, so you’ll need a responsible adult to drive you to your appointment and bring you home. Plan to rest comfortably for the remainder of the day.

Can sedation be used for routine procedures?

Absolutely. Sedation is not reserved for complex surgeries. If anxiety or sensitivity makes even routine care difficult, we can incorporate sedation to help you get through appointments without stress.

Should I mention my current medications before a sedated visit?

Yes, and this step is important. Certain medications can interact with sedatives, so we ask that you share a complete list of everything you take, including supplements, before your appointment. This helps us keep your experience completely safe.

How should I prepare for a sedated appointment?

For most sedation appointments, you’ll need to avoid eating or drinking for several hours beforehand. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, arrange your ride in advance, and plan for a low-key recovery day. We’ll send you detailed instructions specific to your sedation type before your visit.

How do I find out which sedation option is right for me?

During your consultation, we’ll talk through your concerns, review your health history, and recommend the approach best suited to your needs. We take the time to make sure you feel fully informed and comfortable with the plan before your appointment.

What Our Patients Say

Had all on 4 top and bottom Monday April 6th at 11and was back at work the 7th with just an ibuprofen for mild inflammation. I am not good with mouth pain but literally was very minimal and would be fine with nothing. Dr. Jacob and the whole team are like a family and it shows. I went to four places in person before chosing the Smile Company. The other places I felt like a number and at Smile Company I felt at home and that the whole team cared about me. Best decision I ever made. Invest in yourself, you won’t regret it!

I went into the office and spoke with the receptionist about getting my teeth pulled and putting the implants back in. She told me they would give me an appointment and Dr. Jacob would sedate me and I would leave with teeth. All of the assistants and staff are extremely kind and caring. They’re Great Professionals. The office and dental rooms are nice and clean. They have all become like a part of my family. Dr.Jacob is incredible!! 💙 He sat down , giving me his entire attention and listened to me explain how I wanted my teeth to look. He’s such a sweet blessing. He wants to make certain that I’m satisfied. That’s not always an easy task. He is a patient, kind and hard working man. I’ll admit that I can be very “picky” at times ( I’m a perfectionist 🤫😁). When I was younger, I didn’t really like going to the Dentist. I get nice compliments on my teeth and eyes everywhere that I go . Now, I love going to the dentist. They’re so friendly and cordial plus I get a hug in return for every hug I give away. That’s a Big WinWin! Thank You Dr.Jacob!!! My new teeth have given my smile back to me once more, as well as confidence . I just love them , they’re so pretty. Dr. Jacob & his staff are all sweet, precious and professional. They cheerfully work hard to please their patients. Thank you so much❣️ I highly recommend. “ The Smile Company ”
