SEDATION DENTISTRY IN GREENVILLE, SC

Calm, Comfortable Treatment From Start to Finish

Our Solutions

Sedation Dentistry Services We Offer

Complex procedures and dental fear can make treatment feel out of reach. We administer IV sedation in our in-house surgical center, keeping you deeply relaxed and comfortable from start to finish.
Anxiety about dental visits shouldn’t delay the care you need. We offer oral sedation that calms your nerves with a simple prescription, so you arrive ready and at ease.

Dentistry Without the Fear

What Is Sedation Dentistry?

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

1

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.
2

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.
3

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.

Dental Care Without the Fear

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐From day one, The Smile Company has made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. The entire team is incredibly kind, caring, and engaging. They truly take the time to listen, explain everything, and do everything they can to help you. Going to the dentist can be stressful, but they make every visit such a positive experience.I even brought them some homemade cinnamon rolls from my small business, and they showed me so much love and support. That meant more to me than they know. It’s rare to find a dental office that genuinely treats you like family, and that’s exactly how they make me feel.I’m so thankful I found The Smile Company and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental team that truly cares about their patients. Thank you all for everything you do!Also shout to Mr.Matthew and his beautiful wife Mrs.Scarlet and to the Doctor himself Dr.Jacob you have such an amazing team behind you !! I definitely recommend them to anyone !!!!!

I TOOK MY MOTHER TO THE SMILE CO. IN GREENVILLE TO SEE DR. THORPE JACOBS. MY MOTHER IS IN HER LATE 70’s AND ⭐️NOT IN THE BEST HEALTH. DR. JACOBS AND HIS STAFF WERE VERY THOROUGH & PROFESSIONAL. MY MOTHER HAD HER UPPER TEETH EXTRACTED, IMPLANT POSTS PLACED AND A NON-REMOVABLE UPPER PLATE IN LESS THAN HALF A DAY. I HAVE BEEN A NURSE FOR 30+ YEARS AND I WAS VERY CONCERNED WITH HOW THINGS WOULD GO. SHE DID ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL AND NEVER COMPLAINED OF ANY DISCOMFORT. SHE LOVES HER SMILE NOW AND HAS ACTUALLY STARTED PHYSICALLY FEELING BETTER. SHE IS NOW MORE ACTIVE AND OUTGOING. IT HAS CHANGED HER LIFE FOR THE BETTER AND GIVEN HER CONFIDENCE AND A SMILE SHE IS PROUD OF. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SMILE CO. , 5 STARS ALL THE WAY ⭐️

I absolutely love this place. Like look forward to going in. It is a very inviting and calm atmosphere. Most of all though everyone knows you by name(which is a really big thing to me). The dental work is amazing. I get so many compliments on how pretty my teeth are. And having Dr. Jacob do them instead of other dentist was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I promise it’s worth it. My anesthesiologist was great and so nice and that just makes you feel more comfortable. Dr Jacob’s is so very nice and you can tell he cares a lot towards what the patient wants done. Chrissy has been so helpful from the beginning and explains everything so well to you..I was honestly amazed at how well she described everything that was going to be done and how thorough she was. Matthew and Scarlett were very helpful in helping me get everything set up and they answered every question I had..even though I didn’t have all the questions at 1time. I have a family member that loves the service and care I received and how amazing my teeth look that will be going to see Dr Jacob’s and his staff about getting some of his dental work done. If I were you I would choose this place to have my implants done. The quality and care is exceptional. And as I said the office is a very relaxing place.

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!
