Some patients may be aware of their surroundings or hear clinical conversations

It is generally well tolerated and most patients have no recollection.

Transient minor side-effects can include dizziness and nausea. Intravenous anti-nausea medications are also provided.

Asleep Dentistry transformed my anxiety into comfort. The team was professional and attentive throughout the entire process. I felt safe and cared for during my treatment.
