Dental Sedation
Conscious Sedation in Madrid, guided at all times by our specialists, for any patient who requires it.
What is Conscious Sedation?
Conscious sedation is a technique in which the patient is induced into a state of relaxation with some drowsiness, but remains fully aware at all times.
Once the treatment is complete, the patient can leave without the need for any additional recovery time.
It is especially useful for long procedures, which require staying in the same position for extended periods, or for patients who have a fear or phobia of the dentist.
With dental conscious sedation, a visit to the dentist will no longer be a problem.
Advantages of Conscious Sedation
Its effects are remarkably fast, occurring within 15-30 seconds.
The patient remains awake and conscious at all times and retains their reflexes. They can hear and understand the specialist’s instructions throughout the procedure.
It is the safest dental sedation method available, as it is performed by a medical anesthetist who will be present for the entire duration of the procedure.
Just a few minutes after the sedation is interrupted, the patient has fully recovered. The effects last the same amount of time as the treatment or procedure.
This technique is suitable for patients of any age. It is recommended for people with dental fear, anxiety, or phobia, as well as for those with heart problems. It is also safe under the control of a pediatric dentist for minors.
