Conscious Sedation - "Sleep Dentistry"
Imagine not being afraid to go to the dentist. Imagine being able to accomplish all your dental care in as little as one appointment. This is what Conscious Sedation Dentistry can do for you. You'll be able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. If you've been putting off years of dental work, conscious sedation can change your life.
Conscious sedation dentistry protocols have been used safely for over 30 years with millions of dental procedures. Before starting any treatments, Dr. Klim will review your medical history and explain how conscious sedation can work for you. Dr. Klim wants you to feel good about going forward with dental care.
On the day of your appointment, you'll take medication - a pill, then a companion will take you to the office. My experienced clinical team members will make certain that you're relaxed and completely comfortable and they monitor you very closely while you're sedated. Many patients feel NO DISCOMFORT whatsoever during and after treatment, and have little or no memory of the visit.

Frequently ask questions
Q. Will I feel any pain?
